Remedial Tinkering: Rocket's Red Glare

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Go out with a bang with Remedial Tinkering: Rocket's Red Glare, the newest expansion for the tinker, 2013's highest-rated, and most actively-developed, base class!

The core concept of the tinker is that of a squad commander who builds his own troops, and since automatons simply aren't allowed to do anything fancy unless they have the hardware or the scripting, there's always call for new and interesting ways to build and command minions. The issue, however, is that many legacy tinker expansions focused on the endgame and are effectively carrots dangled in front of the player to stay on that leveling treadmill. While that's fine if there's plenty of content at low levels, the continued creation of such expansions ended up making the class fairly lopsided.

Enter the solution. The Remedial Tinkering line is designed to be both transformative and accessible, allowing even the newbie tinkers to try strange and ridiculous tactics without having to qualify for a fancy prestige class or top-tier invention.

Rocket's Red Glare introduces three new invention descriptors: compartment, firework, and propellant.

Compartment: A new descriptor for a legacy concept, compartment inventions simply hold stuff and are effectively an automaton's backpack. An automaton with such an invention may have an inventory.

Firework: Fireworks are special in that they are the first inventions ever to occupy an automaton's inventory, and that they require special launchers to shoot. Effectively a rocket-propelled thrown splash weapon, the firework opens up a brand new way to render foes to rubble through the beauty of explosives.

Propellant: Propellant inventions modify entire compartments full of fireworks, adding minor abilities that usually affect all creatures in the flight path of the firework. Mix fireworks and propellants to make custom explosives for fun and profit!

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.
