Other Borders - Standalone Edition

ADD TO WISHLIST >

A modern-day game of drugs, money and magic in the American southwest.

There are borders everyone sees: the looming fence with its sporadic observation platforms, the tags claiming this block or that in the name of a local gang or drug cartel, and the wrought-iron fences surrounding gated communities.

There are borders that are real only in our minds, like the imaginary lines that divide country from country, or one race from another.

But in this little southwestern town, another border reveals itself to those gifted with the power to see it: the veil between the worlds. Even today, the old ways of magic are still taught; spells, curses, visions and transformations are still practiced, and opposing clans are locked in a daily battle that no policia would ever understand.

OTHER BORDERS is a tabletop roleplaying game based on DramaSystem by Robin D. Laws, and influenced by D. Vincent Baker's Apocalypse World engine.  This Standalone Edition contains all you need to play (except 2 standard dice).

Is this a co-operative or competitive game?

I'd say cooperative, but dramatic.

Just as in most story games, everyone at the table is cooperating in creating a story. And just as in most RPGs, there is a GM who will at times present the players with adversities and consequences. Like all DramaSystem games, the dynamics are geared to generate lots of interesting drama between characters whose lives are intertwined, like an adult telenovella with an ensemble cast.

OTHER BORDERS includes a wide range of character types - for instance, you can play anything from a border patrol officer to a gang member to a shop owner to a sorcerer to a cop to a druglord - so depending on the character types chosen by the players, there may be direct conflict between player characters, or they may choose to all be "on the same side". But even if they choose to oppose each other, they're still not really "competing" with each other. It's all about the drama. :-)

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.
