Itras By (English)

Selected Option:

“Overall, I’m frankly blown away by Itras By. If you like Gormenghast, Twin Peaks, Kafka, Mieville or even Roald Dahl, you will find something to intrigue you.” —Andrew Peregrine, Review on rpg.net

The city is the dream the Goddess abandoned.

At first glance, the city appears like a scene from a faded sepia photography. An image of early modernity. Trams, hats, the first automobiles, black-white silent movies. Beneath this veneer, however, we hear the unpredictable murmurs of our collective subconscious. The monsters in our own basements.

“Weird in the best way, Itras By comes with a mind-boggling setting just bursting with challenging situations and a genuinely new approach to game play. A big part of what makes this ambitious game work is the deck of cards that drive play.” —Jason Morningstar in Itras By: The Menagerie

Itras By is a table-top roleplaying game featuring a deceptively simple method. It caters effectively to improvisation, freeform and immersive play. The cards included teach the playstyle, and support the players in coming up with challenges and twists. Itras By is anarchic, but GMed. Chaotic, yet concrete.

Note: A complete deck of Itras By Chance and Resolution Cards (including a set of exclusive cards) is also available here!

Hi. Wow, this looks awesome. Gonna play with a group soon. Question, what's the difference between the standard and premium color versions?

Shalom v'ahava,

Hey Marc! Check the link below for an official answer to your question. In general and to me personally, Premium is closer to what a regular offset book looks like, while Standard is a print of lower quality.

Itras By has a bit of color, but not much, so the difference is mostly visible on the darker pages. The paper stock is the same, as are the covers. In comparison to actual full color titles we do (like Earthdawn: The Age of Legend), the difference is minimal in Itras By.

Anyway, here is the link:

Carsten, thanks. If the card-stock is the same and the only difference is crispness of color, which there isn't much of, standard color seems just fine. If there is a significant difference in text quality premium color would make sense.

I've been having trouble getting some readers to load the pdf, including GoodReader and Kindle.

Any idea what's up with that? It seems to open fine in chrome...

Its difficult to support all readers out there, so we concentrate on Acrobat Reader. I don't recall if we ran our GoodReader script on this one, but it sounds like we did not. I'll check and update as soon as possible.

For us non-Norwegians, how does one pronounce "By"-- "bee" or "buy"?

None of them. It's more like bee than buy though. They pronounce it in the Norwegian Itras by teaser trailer. Warning, it contains a clip here where a cow eye is getting cut which is really gross https://youtu.be/wwCequ9rKdc?t=42s

In the Scandinavian languages, the letter 'y' is used to write the high front rounded vowel, which doesn't exist in English. Ee as in "bee" is the closest approximation, though.

Does the book come with the cards or do I have to order those separately? The note at the bottom says a "complete" set of cards are available to purchase somewhere else so does this come with an incomplete set? I'm confused.

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.
