The Story

The Ipsfort Manor School for Arcane Innovation stands isolated in the middle of the vast and ancient forest of Azila. Its founders reasoned, that for the proper education of the arcane arts, no worldly concerns should be able trouble a young mage’s mind. A sentiment very much shared by the school’s numerous rich donors, who were happy to have a place to lock away their more troublesome offspring. Hence, with each successful alumnus inheriting their fathers’ fortunes, Ipsfort Manor grew very quickly both in size and repute. Recently, the school even acquired the famed arcanist Tarek Simar as their dean and head researcher. This also came as a shock to the school’s administration – as it was Tarek himself who asked for the post. Since then, arcane scholars all over the world had been holding their breath – because there could only be one reason why the well-travelled Tarek Simar would choose to seclude himself from the world: He was working on his magnum opus, the holy grail of all of Chronomancy – a spell powerful enough to untangle the fabric of time.

In this 4 – 5-hour adventure, a party of characters of any level are hired by a worried mother to stay a few days at Ipsfort Manor. The school seems normal at a first glance, but events soon take a turn to the strange. The dean is nowhere to be found and the school feels oddly familiar. One could think time has stopped in this idyllic manor if it weren’t for the ever-ticking clocktower and its inscription reminding the players: “Tempus Fugit”.

I'm in the process of running this as a one-shot (well, we didn't finish, so it's going to be a two-shot). As others have said it is taking longer than the stated 5 hours. There are a few reasons for this. For one, my players fixated on [...]

THis was really fun for my players, but I have to say-- it did not function like a one-shot. My players (some of which are fairly new, to be fair) ended up taking two full 6-hour sessions to complete this, and because of the nature of play, I couldn [...]

I love the central mechanic of this one-shot! It is complex for players to wrap their head around it but still simple enough in the execution. Nice twist on the groundhog-day trope! However, I'd say this definitely isn't a one-shot you can run with eve [...]

A very interesting idea... altough as a part time DM getting handed the folder, you think you are not supposed to look at the other things, so it took our group a few extra days until I got that clue^^ [...]

Great adventure. It's all obscure and strange in the beginning and gets more and more exciting as the player start to understand the concept of the time loop. It's quite a challenge for the players to solve the riddle without metagaming too much but it [...]

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.
