Mortzengersturm, The Mad Manticore of the Prismatic Peak

ADD TO WISHLIST >

After turning himself into a manticore, the self-style wizard-artiste, Mortzengersturm, moved to the crystalline peak of Mount Geegaw to practice his transformation magic without interference. You've been hired to snatch his most prized artifact, the Whim-Wham Stone--or at least some of its eldritch light. A menagerie of magic hybrids, a self-absorbed vampire, more than a few hippogriffs, and of course, the mad manticore himself await!

It's like a Rankin-Bass stop motion special--except it could end in a total party kill. Are you up to the challenge?

Mortzengersturm, The Mad Manticore of the Prismatic Peak is a 5e-compatible adventure for 5-6 players of 3-4th level set in the Land of Azurth. This digital edition contains exclusive extras: a map and brief gazetteer of Yanth Country (the locaiton of Mount Geegaw), and a short excerpt from an upcoming Land of Azurth adventure.

I just bought this as a .pdf a moment ago. None of the internal artwork is appearing.

The pdf is missing a lot of artwork. The inside front page, illustrations on page 4, 8 and 10 and more.

We've never had that complaint before, and I just downloaded a copy to see if something has changed and all the art is present. Maybe you should try re-downloading?

I just redownloaded and got the same thing. Text is there but art is missing from Front inside cover, pages 4, 8, 10, 15, 16-17, 19, 23, 25, and 27. Some of those pages like the inside front cover, are completely blank.

Okay, so I just opened it in Acrobat instead of Preview and the artwork is there. It is weird as I rarely use Acrobat and open all pdf's with Preview on the Mac. It's weird that some artwork doesn't show there but not sure why.

This is a wonderful piece of gonzo adventure - OSR by way of Hanna-Barbera. It's a style that may have faded in recent years, but deserves a look and a play, because at its core tabletop is sitting around and making joke 1/2 the time.

It’s been a few months. Any progress on POD or purchase?

No POD. Drivethru/RPG doesn't offer the format it is in, unfortunately. It will be back in print in the next few months, though, and we are looking into options to keep it in print permanently.

Will there be a print version? The cover art is to great to only exist as a pdf...

There will be, but not POD. The print version will debut at NTrpgcon in June, then be available to order sometime after that.

I ordered (and received) my copy already! Thanks for the heads up, though.

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.
