FAIL!: Sci-Fi Set 1
A Critical Fail Chart Collection

The player nervously rolls the twenty sided die, hoping for a natural success…. The die hits the table. Nope.
Critical failure. The Game Master looks up from behind their screen with a wicked looking smile.

Critical failure rolls have been a staple of many table top role playing games throughout the years. Despite having a common place at the gaming table there are not always good explanations for what exactly happens when certain particular things are tried. Possible activities are endless, preventing the existence of an effective “catch all” critical failure chart.

This product features charts specifically made to address the critical failures of 10 different activities that could  occur in a sci-fi space opera setting. These activities include: Firing an Energy Weapon, Computer Operation, Chase Through Crowded Location, Eating At Exotic Or Seedy Spaceport Restaurant, Repair Ship Damage, Looting Cargo, Diplomatic Relations Attempt, Being Stealthy, Repairing A Bot, and Piloting A Hover/Grav Vehicle. Simply roll a pair of six sided dice to get a more specific critical failure that is tailored for such an event or skill check.

Lee S. Let me think on that. When I first saw this post I couldn't really see the prospects too well... now that I've slept on it some more the idea might be doable. It may just be my mentality (which would mean a negative one) but I can envision a more diverse array of potential mishaps for most actions than I can success. Perhaps linear thinking is getting in my way... we want our goal to happen and then move on. With combat I think most of it is pretty well covered- critical hit/critical kill... although you could say attack goes through target and strikes another target, weapon of target is destroyed, etc. Diplomacy checks I could totally see this being fleshed out- sometimes with unintended results- as in "not only does the ogre let you pass safely but they insist you and your delightful band of friends join them for dinner first... rat stew, yum!"
If I did make something like this I could see either a smaller page product or a product with perhaps more categories but less results....See more

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.
