Is the printed book A5 size like most of the OSE books?

I want to run a kind of Forgotten Realms Modern. How did you resolve a techno-magic? Are technology and magic separated or work together, so that you can have magical items and weapons like gun +1 to hit/damage?

Hi Michal, you can easily make magic and guns work together like that. I even have a few classes and spells that give a +1 to firearms, etc. There's also magical ammunition. I didn't add any specific, named magical guns, but I might do that in one of the planned expansions. Shouldn't be hard to homebrew in either case! But yes, the book is set up to easily mix fantasy and technology.

Yeah, I noticed that's an issue sometimes. Not much I can do about it sadly, as it's on DTRPG's end.

Does the weapons section show pictures of the weapons or just stats and charts? I am a fan of role playing game weapons, that is why I ask.

on second thought you do not need to answer that.

Format

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.
