ALBEDO: PLATINUM CATALYST + STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY [Legacy]

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

The landmark series of anthropomorphic science-fiction, ALBEDO combines a universe of gritty military action with the exotic mystery of geneticall-engineered life forms. What could have been the promise of infinite diversity in infinite combinations becomes a drama of intrigue, conspiracy, tragedy, and war that will span several generations.

This complete volume combines both PLATINUM CATALYST (character creation in the space military) and STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY (expanded command-and-control and large-scale vehicle combat). Players take on the roles of military captains and attaches, responsible not just for themselves but for the safety of their underlings. You won't be able to solve your problems all alone... but what risks are you willing to take? Featuring a unique system where you must push your character to extremes of physical exhaustion, social pressure, and personal resolve, ALBEDO brings all the drama of military fiction to your table.

To be clear, this is a completely different system from the original two editions starting in the '80s, right?

There are no Covers included in this PDF for either book.
Platinum Catalyst is fully OCRed or from text source. Crisp.
Sadly Structural Integrity is a partially OCRed scan that is blurry and painful to read.
How is it that the production company is still in operation and referring people here to purchase the product and they have not provided original files for a book that was certainly prepared on computer.

Sweet. They re-imaged the file and it's now super crisp the entire document.

Note that the pdf is a scan, which is a shame (the book is a decade old, so I guess the original files have been lost). The main rulebook portion looks okay, but the scan of the Structural Integrity book is poor and is borderline unreadable.

Having said that, the hardcover book (which I was wondering if I would regret buying) is fine, with no trace of the artefacting seen in the pdf version.

Agreed, the second half of pdf is a little fuzzy,
The hardback book though is great, none of those issues, I’m very happy with my copy,

I purchased the print with an error and have yet to receive the replacement copy, plus a PDF would be cool for those of us who bought the print before the PDF went up.

Nice to see this is available in PoD! Any chance of a PDF release, though? I've already got an old print copy of Platinum Catalyst, and I've basically stopped buying print RPGs.

I bought the PDF from Lulu ages ago. I can see it's still available there.

Thanks, I'll consider that. Though I'd prefer to buy here, as it's nice to have my purchases all in one place.

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.
