Under converting saves, the abbreviation for WIS is incorrect it shows WIN.

Just grabbed it there, and will probably grab it here, too, for Player copies if I end up using it.

We ran a quick test (with a homebrew setting) today, and loved it so far. :)

A question, though, if I may: how exactly does using Psionic Powers work? (For example, who rolls what when a Psionic uses Mental Domination? Does the Psionic roll Intelligence to use the power? And what about Life Leech? Also, how long do Powers - for example: Illusion - remain active? And if it's a Psionic NPC who uses these, do the players roll the "save replacing" attribute tests?)

Is there a FAQ perhaps?

Thanks!

There is one, although not on this site. Search for Rad-Hack on Lulu.com and you should find the POD version!

On page 19, on the weapons table, are the prices of the Medium Melee and Heavy Melee a typo? Or should the medium cost more than the heavy?

The heavy weapons should be more expensive than the medium ones.

This pricepoint is too high for only 34 pages of content, even with the art. I'd rather pay for much less for a version without the art.

For a Black Hack game the price point seems a bit high...especially for just 34 pages of content.

I justify that by the amount of hand drawn illustrations in the book. Out of 34 pages, 28 of them have at least one illustration.

Sounds like a fair price then. Cheers!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
