On the Edge of Sanity

Horror and madness have always been part of the worlds of D&D. A mad king must be cured or removed. A magician’s mind is broken by forbidden knowledge. An evil artifact drives its wielder slowly but steadily insane.

These expanded rules for horror and madness can be used in most settings and made to fit most flavours of the game, such as dark, heroic or epic fantasy, sword & sorcery, intrigue, mystery or war.

Instead of taking an “all or nothing” approach, where a character often risks going mad at the roll of a single dice, these rules allow for gradual mental change. Characters must try to keep their sanity over time. Their descent through horror towards madness is tracked, with great opportunities for role-playing – and suspense guaranteed.

The material can be used for both PCs and NPCs and not least to create riveting stories.

This 22-page product for D&D 5e draws on earlier D&D material on the subject but introduces a new system linking horror and madness and expands greatly on the source material. It contains:

⦁ New rules for tracking a character’s mental state and the descent towards madness.
⦁ New, expanded and rebalanced short-term and long-term horror effects, as well as indefinite madness effects. 
⦁ Expanded material for Sanity checks and saves, recovering from and curing madness, adapted class features and a new sanity-based feat. 
⦁ DM game material to use right away, including draughts and other drinks, magical items that cause or protect from horror and madness, and a new horrifying version of a classic monster.

Beware: you are standing On the Edge of Sanity ...

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.
