Runecards

            A d20 supplement from Distant Horizons Games, written by Paul M. Melroy.


            Mystical runes and sigils are staples of legend and literature. Our 64 Runecards bring them to your games, serving as whimsy cards - allowing both the players and the game master to add unexpected twists to the game - and as generators for adventures, plots, encounters, businesses, campaign events, backgrounds, and personalities should you happen to be in a rush or short of ideas.

            The powers and areas of influence of the runes themselves drive two alternate magic and item creation systems: one offering great flexibility within the limits of a spellcasters chosen runes, and the other - designed for story- and event-driven games - allowing spellcasters to weave rare wonders, rather then serving as artillery and combat medics.

            For high fantasy games, the runes can be linked to, or used to generate, a world’s pantheon and divine spheres of influence - while Fate Points offer characters more control over their own destiny, as well as a chance to cheat death in worlds where items and advanced healing magic are scarce and the dead tend to stay that way.

            The rest of our 37 pages are devoted to Quest Oaths, magical World Laws, fortune telling and prophecy in the game world, rune-related Feats, and a tracking page for quick reference when using rune magic. The Runecards package includes the directions book and the runecard files in both screen and printer-friendly formats as well as a set of rune image files for use in creating your own personal gaming props.

            Why not make runes a staple in your games as well?

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.
