Far Away Land is a world where noknil clones are part of a hive mind, where clown plants hurl terrible jokes while stabbing their victims, where a cataclysmic event of the past has sewn together the various realms of creation to forge a nexus point on a fantasy world known as Far Away Land. The Tome of Awesome is the core rulebook to get you started in the world of Far Away Land.

Far Away Land is weird, wild, quirky, bizarre, colorful, and imaginative. It is a mixture of fantasy, science fiction, and '80s pop culture all rolled into a ball of awesome. It's great for kids and adults, new gamers and old. This book is your ticket into the unique world of Far Away Land. You'll never forget.

I purchased the PDF to print the maps, but the entire Maps of Far Away Land section is missing from the PDF? What's the deal here?

We need some answers here. Is the creator still around? I purchased the hardback and I'm looking for PDFs of the maps to print and use. The PDF to purchase here says it's watermarked. Why? If I buy that to print the maps, will those have a watermark on them?

What has been revised from the original book (beyond splitting it up into multiple books - which is a fantastic idea)?

Originally the Tome of Awesome was available as four separate books: Core Rules, Creatures Vol. 1, Companion Rules, and Tales of Far Away Land. No longer as they have all been included in the Tome of Awesome along with some additional rules, updated artwork, and simplifications (like distance and range being abstracted). Some errata was also fixed.

There are no blank page errors I am aware of. That was a printer issue that, as far as I know, was resolved months ago.

A new version of the Far Away Land: Tome of Awesome has been uploaded dealing with size issues. The new version comes in around 20MB (as opposed to over 100MB). Hope this helps.

I bought the .pdf but it is weighing in at OVER 100 MB. For an Adobe file this creates problems displaying it with an Adobe reader on my Android tablet. As a comparison, Shadowrun core rules .pdf at over 500 pages is 50 MB.
Would it be possible for you to look that over and offer a lighter version, playing with the graphics resolution or something?

Hey Gary. This is a print problem and has happened before (as can be seen in some other comments on this page). I will contact drivethru and inform them on the problem. I would ask that you do the same. They have informed me before that in this case (printing error) you should get a replacement book at no charge. Please let me know what goes on from here. We will work to make this right. Sorry for any inconvenience.

I got a copy of the ToA in the KS, but not a coupon to it on DTRPG. Given that its been updated, is it possible to get an updated version or that coupon?

Sure thing. That goes for all KS backers as well. In fact, I may send out a mass complementary mail for everyone (KS everyone).

I woiuld like to order Premium Hard Cover as well, but want the PDF now & don't want to pay twice (not that I'm opposed to supporting indie gaming). Is there a work around for this or coupon?

I have contacted DTRPG to see what the issue is. This may be a print issue as I am sure the file for the print version is good. I will let you know as soon as I find out.

Hey, Christopher J. I have contacted them and they believe it to be a print issue (as opposed to the actual file). I think it is this as well as there have been no other complaints about this book missing pages. They should get in touch with you to work this out. If not, please let me know and we will make things right.

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.
