Synanthropes Lite

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Humanity disappeared, ages ago, and the world was inherited by our vermin: rats, roaches, crows, cane toads, raccoons and geckos. They evolved to live in our homes and feed off our trash, and when we left, they flourished, becoming intelligent species in their own right, curious about the world they grew up in.

Synanthropes Lite is a very light story game set in a post-human world. Players will each portray a different species of Synanthrope and confront an Artifact--a piece of trash that the humans left behind.

Synanthropes Lite can be played in fifteen minutes. It's meant for three to six players, and has no GM or advanced preparation. The only items you'll need are the cards and a Human Artifact, which can be anything you pull out of your pockets, which you'll discuss as if you'd never seen it before. It's an exercise in applied anthropology, as you experience a familiar object through alien eyes (or ears, hands, feelers, whatever the case may be).

The print edition contains ten cards, which includes six illustrated species cards. These are 3.5" by 2.5" poker-sized cards produced by DriveThruCards, printed on high-quality cardstock. Synanthropes Lite can be tucked into a pocket or dice bag, so you can be ready to get baffled by human refuse at a moment's notice.

The PDF includes the illustrated cards, as well as a black-and-white print-and-play set, which can be printed on a single sheet of letter-sized business-card paper (such as Avery 8820).

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.
