- Delve into the esoteric mysteries of lost religions as a zealous cultist, fly the first airplanes as a daring pilot or invent fascinating new devices as a brilliant tinker!

 

A d10 system and four simple stats keep the mechanics smooth-flowing, while 4 sub-stats give your character flavor!

Forty unique Backstories, both beneficial and detrimental, give your character a detailed history and a springboard for an exciting career!

An intuitive Incantation system lets you introduce Ritual and Alchemical magics to the campaign!

Combat is quick and easy with the chance to create a Thrill or Bungle effect!

 

- Do battle on the fields of World War I, fight against gangsters during Prohibition or take part in the Russian revolution!

 

Play through 50 years of historical scenarios, from 1895 to 1945!

Errata: on page 13 it says “ All heroes begin with Fisticuffs and Searching.” Does this actually mean Brawling and Scrounging? And if so, if a trade has these as skills is there any benefit from taking them again?

Thanks for your questions! To clarify: those are all separate skills. Fisticuffs is just basic hand-to-hand while Brawling is more about dirty fighting and improvised weapons (chairs, sand, etc.). Searching covers general observation while Scrounging deals with finding usable items. Sorry, no benefits from doubling up.

Ahh I see- just seen them on the character sheet. Ok thanks for the clarification. Perhaps they should have been listed under the Skill section.

Aaaand again: The text not really telling anything and no preview.
And another question: Is this game somehow related to Zweihänder?

QuickStart available on their website- check it out. It’s a very cool game. And I don’t believe “Perilous” is owned by Zweihander, or indeed WFRP. However it is very apt for a Pulp game.

Preview has been added but the Quick Start guide on the website is much more enlightening!

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.
