Hi all. I have now fixed the issue with the printing and ordered a new bundle to confirm it works as intended. I don't know what happened as I have not touched it.

Please write to me with your order number and customer id if you have experienced this and I will send you a discount code to fix this.

Is there any update on the POD problems? has there been corrections to incomplete sets?
Also, should I wait for the companion book to come out? (last update was a year ago, I wish the author a full recovery).

I bought this and just realized when I opened my package that the bundle doesn't actually include the print version of Book 3: Magic for some reason? The other books are great in print!

Hi, I would like to order the print version but it's telling me that no shipping methods are available to my location. Where I live is not remote by any means and I tried a few addresses in a couple different states. Is the print version not available for shipping to the U.S. right now?

Love the game. I read all the pdfs.
I ordered the pdf/print bun back on January 9, but I haven't got my print books yet.
My order # is 28312173. I hope that you can sort this out.

I absolutely love this game and really is my favorite RPG. Literally my holy grail of RPG, mixing what I love about 5e with what I love about OSR games, while at the same time making it digestable for my players.

@Anders H
Is there any release date for the Companion?

No, as I don't work well with deadlines. But q4 seems likely. I have a working draft and am looking at ~70-80 digest pages in total.

Any chance of you releasing a no-art editable version? That option is available for Basic Fantasy and Old School Essentials.

Yes. It is planned as part of the second release cycle, first of which is the companion and will also include a rules compendium gathering all six books into one. That one will be also released as a free art free editable version.

I had hoped to do it earlier, but I've pushed it to there due economy of efforts required then vs now. But all of all is and will be released under the open game license.

I love this rules set! Breaking the game down into five booklets is very handy at the table. Do you have an idea of how many books the Companion rules will need?

I expect it will be released as one volume.

A single book with all the material would be preferable.

Hi raphael.

Sometime in 2020 that might also come out.

I'm on the fence about whether to buy this in PDF or print. Question: Are there rules in the Running the Game book (or anywhere else) for levels past 10th?
Reply
Customer avatar
Anders H May 31, 2019 8:09 am UTC
PUBLISHER
No. These rules will be featured in the future Companion volume. I made this decision on the basis that this is a game of "basic and expert" rules for dungeon and wilderness exploration. And high level play is in many ways a very different game from that, that it didn't make sense to me to include it in the core rules.

I do intend to give high level play a proper treatment in the companion volume. You can gleam some of my early thoughts on this from this blog entry a while back:

Thank you for the reply. I think I'll wait until the planned Companion volume materializes before I go all in.

Quick question! The halfling has an ability listed at level one called "Durable" that is never actually described. Is that a mistake on the chart or is there a missing entry in the text?

I know it's an old question, but I've noticed this as well. I'll probably just use the OSE Defensive bonus feature:

Defensive Bonus
Due to their small size, halflings gain a +2 bonus to Armour Class when attacked by large opponents (greater than human-sized).

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.
