Are you sick of orphaned adventurers with no loved ones or other family members?

There's Someone Back Home is a supplement enabling players and Dungeon Masters to create off-screen families for their adventurers. Inside, you'll find a number of rules and ideas, including:

  • Ideas for non-traditional family ties based on background.
  • Expansive rules for mundane and magical mail systems to keep in touch with family members.
  • Various crises to challenge players from a roleplaying perspective and create hooks for social encounters and side quests.

I am always a little skeptical about paying up front so I did the PWYW for 0.00. Once I saw what was inside, I had to go back and pay the suggested $1.00. What a great tool to provide plausible, playable background to any character or important NPC. Be [...]

A nice way to bring some structure to roleplaying family & dependents - which should hopefully help to get players and DMs thinking more about this aspect of characters. Good and concise, and easy to put into practise without any complicated mechan [...]

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.
