Arcanum

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Your training in the great halls of magic is now over, the years of hard work and difficult study finally coming to an end. Tomorrow you will begin your long journey, one each graduate of the tower must take, a journey of adventure, danger and riches. You will need all your skills to survive this quest, but you are ready, for your magic is strong and your will is like iron.

Arcanum is a simple to play , but complex game of adventure and magic, a game where players seek out the destiny of their character as they travel about the many magical lands on a unique game board. Players will need to achieve a set of victory conditions if they wish to win the game, conditions that they have set for themselves before the game even begins. Encounter monsters, dangers and companions to aid you in your quest, and along the way you may even join other players as you each try to achieve some great deed. That or you may find that you have to battle these players as they seek to steal from you all your gathered magic and riches. Allies can turn into enemies with a blink of the eye, so you must walk your path with caution.

Arcanum uses a unique system of "Chips" to resolve all conflicts, so no dice are ever used. This creates a game where luck has no place in the final outcome, but rather your skills at thinking ahead and planing determining whether you will win the game or not.

Arcanum comes with 15 fully illustrated, full color map tiles.

16 full color, stand up character counters, each an illustrated portrait of a different character.

Over 80 spells, from four different fields of magic.

Over 100 other game cards, each offering information on quests, treasures, equipment, companions and more.

A fully illustrated rules book of over 30 pages full of charts, rules and information on how to play the game.

Player charts, hand outs and other game aids to make the experience a faster, smoother game.

If you liked Bad Baby's Mystic Adventures, then you will really like Arcanum.

So don't wait, leap into your first adventure and seek out you destiny with Arcanum.

Was over at the authors house last night for our regularly scheduled RPG game. Unfortunately players were unable to make the game, so quorum was not achieved.
The author broke out one of his excellent board games Arcanum http://www.rpgnow.com/product/19368/Arcanum?cPath=1658&it=1 and we all played it for a few hours.
What a fun game. Well put together, easy to pick up. definitely would recommend it to any of my other friends who might be looking for a good nights pick up game.

It has about two expansions also http://www.rpgnow.com/product/65659/Arcanum-Mega-Bundle-BUNDLE and considering the bundle is all for less than $20 it a steal.

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.
