At almost 400 pages, is there any chance of getting a hardcover version?

Just found this today, gave it a lot of examination as a purchase.
I finally broke and got the pdf file. 418 pages. Nothing to care about as a pdf, but that's quite the print out.

I was able to go through the pdf, and rip out all the art, all the clutter, all the pages that might make sense in a printed product but isn't really needed for a person wishing to save pages. 313 essential pages.

But the thing is it will be black and white and cost about the same as the full deal in colour.
So I'm going to go full in I suppose after seeing the pdf contents. Looks like a really nice super adventure.

In terms of the PDF version: Is this one single PDF with the entire campaign, or is it just a bundle of the individual adventures?

Sale price is same as deal price ($17.50). Not sure what happened there.

I recommend removing the "introductory deep, deep price cuts" section of the description. It expired in 2013.

Does this campaign explicitly utilize the Usherwood Adventures Expansion for OSRIC? Or is that product purely optional? Or perhaps it draws from materials already provided within this campaign?

I can't seem to find the "Book of Beasts" from Mythmere anywhere. Is it under a different title?

Greetings! Yes, that was the intention that GM's would purchase the Book of Beasts by Mythmere. I am uncertain that BoB ever got published. HOWEVER, Matt Finch of Mythmere did give me permission to include the creature writes that I required in In the Halls of the Mage-King. So, the requirement for the Book of Beasts can be ignored.

That's super helpful, thank you. The product description should really explain that Usherwood Adventures is required for portions of the adventure.

Sections do in fact utilize the Usherwood Expansion.

Thanks, Kramer. I went ahead and picked up both (and Revolvers & Wizardry, while I was at it), to make sure I had everything I needed.

I'll be honest, I don't know why this is already on my list of owned things but I'm not gonna look a gift-horse in the mouth. However, when I try and download this all I get is a single PDF with covers, license agreements, and tables-of-contents for the five modules. No actual content.

Has anyone contacted DTRPG/RPGNow to get the error corrected? That's particularly concerning, given that this is the Deal of the Day.

Is this still not working? I was thinking about getting it, but I do not need to buy something that is screwed up.

This thread was started 3 years ago.
This was fixed.
It is a full 418 page pdf.

I too had the original error earlier today - page showed me I had already purchased the product, and when downloaded, only received a ~60MB file with the covers and TOC's.

I took the chance and purchased. Download yielded the proper 278MB file with the full content.

So I'd guess the issue is on the drivethru side and the earlier file as a 'preview' file.

Again, here I will state that if ANY purchaser has ANY issue getting the full PDF of each of the five adventures included in the complete campaign, I will personally make sure it gets set to right.

And, before I forget, make sure you also remember that at http://www.usherwoodadventures.com/blog/?page_id=187 SideTrek adventures are roughly outlined for each of the five adventures, expanding yours and your players' gaming options beyond the scope of the PDFs/PODs.

Good gaming all,
Kramer

Hey James, the whole reason I bought the PDF was for unlabeled versions of the beautiful maps. But as far as I can tell the PDF only includes labeled versions? Is there are way to get unlabeled maps?

similar question here. The PDF links to http://www.usherwoodadventures.com for map downloads but the site seems down. Any place to get the full-scale maps?

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.
