Is there any way you could improve the way it's formatted? I like the content, but when I try to copy & paste the text onto any document or page it shows up vertically and clustered.

Is there any way to get a printer friendly version of this?

I really enjoy what you've done with these, but I notice that most of them offer one or even two additional languages of choice, or proficiency with two tools, and I question how mechanically balanced they are with the ones found in the PHB.

Hey thanks for the feedback! Check out the PHB Backgrounds. All either give two languages, two tool profs, or one of each.

Which edition of D&D is this best to play with? 5e?

It's really personal preference. I like 5e (and you can only fully use this product with 5e since it relies on the Background mechanic). People play all kinds of stuff. As long as it's got dungeons and/or dragons, I'm in!

Love these new backgrounds, as have been said in some reviews, some tweaking required but also expected. The Personality traits are excellent and original and gives you great nuggets to act out your character. My only critique which is very very minor and comes down to personal preference and that is the artwork which I am not a huge fan of. I would have liked something a bit more fantasy themed. I'm sure you could find tons of fitting images if you searched for Fantasy Clipart on google.

An idea for one additional group background could be a Travelling Troupe/Band that could give everyone a proficiency with a music instrument or something. Could be fun to do a Rock'n'Roll or a Freakshow Campain based around this background.
Everyone in the group doesn't have to have the entertainer background and everyone doesn't have to be Bards either, a Barbarian strongman/Drummer, rogue juggler/guitarrist or Ranger Snakecharmer/Harmonica player, etc.

This is an awesome idea! Traveling performance troupe should have occurred to me, since that's my collegiate background.

Great idea on the clipart search as well. I'll look into it for future products.

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.
