Building Blocks: Spin Doctoring

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Perception is more important than reality" is a phrase you will hear quite often in the halls of high-powered business. In most modern campaigns that will be an undeniable truth-it doesn't matter how well or badly a business is doing as long as the public thinks the company is strong and reliable. What's more, this extends far beyond the corporate world. Many a politician has won election and re-election based on reputation rather than the facts of his or her voting record. The key to managing people's opinions is the ability to manipulate their perceptions. To accomplish that, companies, charities, celebrities, and even heads of state turn to public relations experts.

Building Blocks: Spin Doctoring features a set of optional rules for measuring and influencing public opinion across the broad spectrum of a campaign world. It will be most useful in campaigns where the player characters have a measure of fame, their adventures are a followed and reported on by the mass media, and details like public perception and approval ratings are important to the group. Also featured are details on the Bird's Nest Promotions organization-a public relations firm suitable for use in nearly any campaign set in the modern-day-including a fully developed NPC write-up for the organization's owner, Jeri Bird.

What is a Building Block?

Each product in the Building Blocks line presents a collection of thematically linked material applicable to a wide variety of modern d20 System campaigns. This material falls into three broad categories-an Organization, an NPC, and Optional Rules

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.
