The Petal Hack

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Tékumel is a place with the politics and intrigue of the Roman Empire, the religions of ancient India and pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, the magic of the Arabian Nights, the monsters and demons of the Cthulhu mythos, plus ancient ruins containing the technology of a good space opera thrown in just to keep things interesting.

The Petal Hack strips the rules down to a minimum so you can focus on character and setting.

Experience the exotic adventure of Tékumel.

Is there anyway to clean up the downloads? There are now three versions of the pdf and I can't tell which is the most recent. Thanks.

There is a manifest included in the download that explains the product's files, but I agree there is an error with the download.
(1) ThePetalHack_v1.1.pdf - PDF with cover included
(2) ThePetalHack_pages.pdf - PDF without cover for printing
(3) ThePetalHack_FullCover.png - cover without page for printing
Those are the actual files.

Two additional additional files appear to be unneeded copies. According to a MD5 hash of the contents they are exactly the same as the cover image file and the PDF file without the cover.

I also would like to point out, despite an update today (December 10, 2017), I can find nothing changed in any of the downloadable files. Among other indicators, the markings still indicate version 1.1 and the copyright as written remains 2016. There were already separated files for the cover and pages in the last update.

Any chance of a at-cost PoD?

It states in the publication that it is being published as a fan publication, at no charge, in accordance with the policies of the Tekumel Foundation. It uses the Foundation's required text.

I don't see it indicated in either the description or the preview--is this being published with the permission of the Tekumel Foundation?

You know, I have to apologize--when I first looked at that, I thought you were charging for it. Fight On!

Awesome! - I am totally impressed. The Empire of the Petal Throne in 64 pages. There have been thousands of pages written about EPT. IIRC the last rule book for EPT that I looked at was 300+ pages and very difficult to understand. It also cost big bucks. Your Petal Hack covers all the essentials needed to play a game of EPT and it is Free. Pure genius.

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.
