The Rains

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The final enemy is hope. 

A storm has raged within sight of the Twilit City for generations, never wavering and always slowly advancing. This is no ordinary squall of rain and wind, however; malign intelligence beyond mortal grasp stalks within, toying with the petty lives of adventurers and wanderers as a cat toys with string. None have escaped the city since it descended. This patient, long enduring cataclysm is called by a simple title: the Rains.  

Those within the city walls know the truth. These last survivors stand, well and truly, alone. Companionship is fleeting as the bonds of friend and family stretch as thin as the gossamer threads of fragile memory. 

Will you discover the mystery at the heart of the Rains, adventurer? Can a mortal mind even comprehend such things? Or, are you doomed to fall to the storm's steady onslaught, stripped piece by piece of every part of you?

The Rains is a 16-page adventuring toolbox designed for dark atmospheric roleplaying over a brief campaign of about 6-10 four-hour game sessions. It is designed for Tier 2 play in 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons, for character levels 5 - 10. Within, you will find a setting set forth in broad strokes, ideas on how to adapt the character creation process to adventuring in the Rains, as well as detailed NPC profiles and random encounter tables for Dungeon Masters.

Oh my god dude this useless background image makes it impossible to print a legible copy at regular print quality. Everybody say it after me: BLACK TEXT ON A WHITE BACKGROUND PLEASE. I wasted paper and ink printing this at regular quality greyscale. Once I aborted that and printed it high quality color, it was legible. But you and everyone else publishing this stuff with unnecessary backgrounds should really take the time to put together a printer-friendly version. I have a very good inkjet. I assume that anyone with an older or less-featured printer is pretty well out of luck printing a good copy of this as it is.

I'll try to review the actual content later to make up for this angry message. But: printer friendly backgroundless works please, publishers!

Thanks for the feedback; I've gone ahead and updated the watermark to be more printer-friendly. Let me know if the updated one works better for you.

Now that's the stuff. Thanks. Definitely better. And sorry for the testy intro.

I'll review it when I get time. It's good work. Evocative.

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.
