I quite like this. Nice to see something happening with Ars products, even if a Fan effort.

content seems good so far, but I was having an issue reading it on my android tablet. For some reason Adobe acrobat and a few other PDF readers for android display the text as nothing but gibberish. I did eventually find that the Foxit reader on android was able to display it properly though.

Hey Mark. Jason here. I'm going to show your comment to Ade Smith, who does layout, in the hope we can avoid this problem in the future. Thank you for posting!

Reposting my comment from the Atlas boards:
Greetings all!

Well, I succumbed and bought it...and then read it!

...and then went ahead and downloaded Wizard World. What a bad influence Jason Tondro is turning out to be!

Excellent debut.

A question on "House Rules: Library": is there a subsystem for copying/borrowing/stealing? How would you determine the xp lost to the library (if lost) and gained by the scribe/raiding party? You'd still have to create the actual books, would you not, and their stats, in such cases, rather than "loot crate of books/copy 12xp in whatever".

I applaud Jeremiah Wishon's "Fixing Automata".

"Illuminations: the Folio of 1227" and "Magi of the Order: the Flamboni Brothers " are definitely the sort of writeups I prefer: relatively short, definitely useful, plug-n-play yet hook-filled, crunch well-married to fluff.

Jason Tondro, in your opinion,...See more

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.
