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. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.įor printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. 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. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching.

Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.įor PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. See more effort to improve on the game material and mechanics but the creativity is often lost to lack of quality assurance and what appears to be a lack of planning at the top level. The website is badly out of date, shows neglect and is slow. We are often surprised to learn that xyz product was released yesterday. In addition, I learned that CGL are already working on a soft version only of another magic supplement.If I were cynical, I might be inclined to think both products were originally expected to fit in the same book but were split up to make more money.Įver since the release of 5th, this product line appears to be mismanaged, we don't know when products will come or, if they come out, what they are expected to contain. I will wait for the revised version of the product before buying hard copy.

I would have loved to love this product but its confusing, badly implemented, internally incoherent, refers to "powers" that will be released in another book and is full of grammatical mistakes.
I'm a huge Shadowrun fan ever since 1st ED, I usually buy everything available.
