For the Greater Good

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Welcome to what is easily the most controversial of the twenty-some odd Villains and Vigilantes adventures currently in print. For the Greater Good will no doubt anger and upset many people who read it. That is precisely why I approved it for V&V; and that is why I suspect Fantasy Games Unlimited is publishing it. Hopefully, it will provoke thought and discussion as well.

Currently there are many people who believe that censorship is a viable option for suppressing 'undesirable' material in public schools, libraries and bookstores. The Attorney General of the United States along with various religious groups are attempting to dictate which magazines you are allowed to buy at your local newsstand. (Anybody out there read Playboy? Penthouse?, Rolling Stone?, Spin?) These days, even your favorite role-playing games are deceptively portrayed as psychologically damaging 'Satanic' influences by everyone from the 700 Club to the folks at 60 Minutes and are irresponsibly blamed for everything from inattentive school behavior to murder. One cannot help but think that had such things occurred a mere ten years ago they would have been met with angry resistance. Today, our constitutional rights hardly rate the front page. The subject just doesn't have the ratings potential of whatever what country it is we're dropping bombs on this week.

I find the casual, unopposed violation of our civil rights frightening. Certainly more frightening than any mad doctor cartoon character threatening to blow up the world from his island fortress. Unfortunately, there are no superheroes in the real world who will solve our problems for us. With that said, we now return to our regularly scheduled Villains and Vigilantes adventure, where hopefully the forces of evil will face direct opposition and be served a well-deserved defeat.

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.
