Fire On The Velvet Horizon - PLAIN TEXT PDF

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $5.00

We didn't really understand anything about margins or layout when we made this and due to the 'artistic' nature of the text/image integration the text size is baked right into the thing.

This means that many (a few anyway) people have been unable to read the text when they actually buy the book.

We botched this issue for a while by handing out free Text files to anyone who had bought the book and couldn't read it.

Then entered our hero - David Cinabro, the putter-together of this PDF, who arranged all the basic text in a clean readable file with Bookmarks!

So thanks to David. (He gets 1/3 of whatever this file sells.)

If you have already bought the book and couldn't read it due to text issues, feel free to download this for free. In other circumstances, let shame and desire war within you to reveal the illusions of price.

Below is some standard description and marketing stuff;

Super-Readable Plaintext Edition - (This one.)

Luxury Eochian Wyrm Edition - Peecho 

Fuse Meister Edition - Drivethru.

and Shameful Beast Edition - Lulu.

This has all the additional backmatter previously only available in the Luxury Peecho edition;

  • Blastitsu: an Introduction, Curseling Riddles,
  • Command Structure of the Navarch of Acht,
  • Report on the Palace of Iksladzord (partialy redacted),
  • Play fragment from the Nightmare Sea,
  • An Announcement from the Judge Who's Court is the Air, Lord of the Pathless World.
  • Dust Storm falling with Dusk - a view from Quarst
  • The Wyrm Rise - depiction of the Eochian Wyrm

A book of monsters written by Patrick Stuart and based off drawings previously provided by Scrap Princess.

The book is hand assembled and that is probably a nightmare if you like clean graphic layout and white spaces, oh and the font size might provide difficulties for readers who have trouble with that kind of thing so click on preview to see if it is a good thing for you. There is about 100 monsters all co-sharing an implied setting , but each can easily used apart from it. It includes an appendix with some other miscellany about the monsters and the world. It can be enjoyed as some weird piece of experimental fiction as well being used to give you bizarre newness for your world creation

"I'll just say that anyone who has any interest in monsters, weird fiction, or the stranger, more conceptually ambitious end of roleplaying games should really, really get themselves a copy. You won't regret it."

"Well, Fire on the Velvet Horizon for the most part manages to completely do away with the "this with a this" formula, and that is just about the highest praise I can possibly think of for a monster book."

"Fire on the Velvet Horizon is a monster book, but that description seems reductive. Scrap Princess and Patrick Stuart have produced something very avante garde and truly unique."

"I read a lot of fiction, and the creativity here is on par with some of the masters. Gene Wolfe displays this kind of creativity in his novels. Borges describes the type of hells these creatures inhabit in passing. McCarthy has the type of poetic turn that takes your mind from where it is and puts it somewhere you are not. This is what the book does."

"Patrick Stuart & Scrap Princess' Fire on the Velvet Horizon and Rafael Chandler & Gennifer Bone's Lusus Naturae have redefined the monster bestiary for role-playing games and have basically made every single other such book boring, backwards, and useless."

I'm glad I gave this a look before buying the full price version. The monsters are great but it has so many basic grammar mistakes it's not even funny. It makes for a very unpleasant reading experience.

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.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
