The Kaiin Player's Guide

ADD TO WISHLIST >

This is a city book with a difference for the Dying Earth RPG.

PCs are assumed to be knowledgeable veterans of the White-Walled City, not ignorant mooncalves. No longer will the GM be the sole arbiter of adventures; players are encouraged to choose from hundreds of plot hooks and contacts to create sublime gaming sessions.

Written by Robin D Laws, it's the ideal supplement for long-term adventuring in the Dying Earth.

And now, pay what you want to get The Exasperating Cadaver, a Cugel-level adventure including sundry explorations of Kaiin Old Town!

For owners of this prodigious and inspirational tome, the last remnants of the Kaiin-based elements of my old campaign are now featured in a new release. These include a scenario framework that has the characters reside in Kandive's Palace for several weeks, and the hazardous - classically Vancian - two-part scenario that brought them to the city. (An immediate prequel to 'The Exasperating Cadaver' adventure.) https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/469293/On-the-High-Road-to-Kaiin

I have a hardcopy so can't rate this, but this is a truly amazing book. I rate it as one of the best supplements I have seen in my decades of playing rpgs. All it lacks is an introductory scenario that sends the rascals across the city on a dangerous wild goose chase, but I believe just such a thing is on its way. :)

Such a lack we could not countenance! Verily, have we procured just such a scenario from the pen of a most estimable transcriber of Dying Earth lore: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/441078/The-Exasperating-Cadaver--sundry-explorations-of-Kaiin-Old-Town

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.
