I just bought this PDF and one file is a 1-page ad for Beasts & Barbarians on Indiegogo, while the other file is the Adventurers "Core Rules" but has a different cover than what's pictured here and the first 6 pages of the book are missing (The file presents 1 page of artwork followed by a different cover page, and then goes right to page 7. The last page is numbered 36, but the file only has 32 pages.)

Really dislike the format and the mistakes BUT I love the core idea so much I don't mind throwing a little money at the publisher. I would HEAVILY recommend to anyone to follow this link and grab the superior format FREE version. But if you like it as much as I do kick them some cash by buying this version too.

Hi I bought this after checking out the free version, which I really liked, cause the preview showed that this one also contained Space Rangers and Voodoo Pirates.

I was very disappointed to discover that it doesn't! It's the same content as the free version, only with a different layout!

The preview is definitely misleading, and I feel like I wasted my money: I could have bought Space Rangers and Voodoo Pirates instead, for roughly the same price. :/

Is there any way I can get a refund, or simply exchange this for the other two ?

Thanks in advance for your help and kind regards.

Dear Moreno.
Please note that we wrote that it is the same - You can get the 2 pages version here - for free!

The preview is wrong, and I don`t know why. I had to upload the file again, as it had a different file. I will upload corrected version tomorrow, as soon as I will be at my computer.

Please email me at pkorys @ gmail.com and I will exchange you with those two.

Possibly a file name issue, or the site database is not getting update correctly when you post the previews.

Anyway, I guess you'll find out when you try to load the correct files, and if it's still wrong you can contact the site guys.

I just pulled out my copy of the free version that came with the KS. It is in a format that I like (actual two pages). It is more complete with less errors (actually has the Scale table). I paid for this version...5 dollars when the free version is more complete. I hope this was not what the people who paid for the KS book got. If it was you will have some unhappy customers.

Under "Scale" in the second paragraph it says "See Table". Where's the table? In the gear list if I understand the notes Medium Armor has a DEF of 4 and Heavy Armor has a DEF of 3? Medium Armor has an AGI penalty of -1 and Heavy has a penalty of -2? Medium has an ENC of 2 and Heavy ENC of 3? The only benefit that Heavy Armor seems to have is that it has a chance to reduce damage by 3 (AR 3/4/6) instead of 2 for Medium Armor (AR 4/5)?

Scale table shoulf be found in GM guide, on page 21.( But we missed it! Super-shame on me, I didn't spot it):

Scale Example
Character Hero, horse, typical NPC.
Vehicle Carriage, car, plane, small spaceship.
Large Vehicle Warship, dreadnought, large spaceship.
Army Legion, tank division, rebel band.
Organization State, guild, cult, corporation, news network

For armor: when you see 4/Agi-1 or similar, you use the better of the two. I.e. with Agi 2, you use 4, with Agi 6, you use 5. A heavy armor reduces more damage (1,2 or 3) and with better chances: with a 3 you reduce by 1, with 4-5 by 2 and with 6 by 3.

I will try to update the pdf here.

Okay. Under Gear, X/Y choose the better of the two? You should say "Use the better Stat to calculate Att or Def". Either way you look at it Medium Armor is a better deal. The Defense roll also effects the amount of Damage you take not to mention whether you even get hit in the first place. 4/Agi-1 versus 3/Agi-2 I'd take the first even with better damage reduction from the AR because you are less likely to hit me in the first place and the higher Def will also reduce damage if I do get hit.

Yes, you are right.

Not absolutely. Combine it with Advanced Armorcraft.

Wouldn't Advanced Armorcraft apply equally to both Heavy and Medium Armor?

Also applying Basic Armorcraft

Medium Armor would become Def 5/Agi-1 AR 3/4 Absorbs one extra damage on success Enc 1
Heavy Armor would become Def 4/Agi-2 2/3/5 Absorbs one extra damage on success Enc 2

Am I missing something? So the max amount of damage absorbed on an AR is 3 for Medium and 4 for Heavy? However, with the attack roll a higher Def effectively reduces damage as well? So Medium Armor is harder to hit to begin with has less Enc and has a 50/50 chance of absorbing as much damage as Heavy Armor (taking the effect Def has on damage in the Attack roll).

Hi Dillard, below some points on armors. Hope they help.
1)Medium Armor is harder to hit, because wearing it you have more mobility than wearing a more cumbersome Heavy Armor.
2)Once hit you suffer 1 damage +1 per 2 points of success of the attack. So an extra point of Defense, isn't really gamebreaking.
3)Once hit a heavy armor absorbs more maximum damage.
4)With no armorcraft, you have 50% of absorbing 1 at least 1 damage and 33% of absorbing 2. Heavy Armor has 64% of absorbing 1, 50% of absorbing 2 and 16% to absorb 3,
5)With armorcraft, a medium armor has 66% of absorbing at least 1 damage, and 50% of absorbing 2 damage. A heavy armor has 83% to absorb 1 damage, 66% to absorb 2, and 33% to absorb 3.

On Power rolls do you have to make a power roll every time you use your power? If I was using Power (Damage) do I have to make a roll every time I make an attack? Or do I just assume the power roll and the attack roll are the same roll?

I am confused about the page numbers in the various versions/settings. The core book ends around 36. Space Rangers picks up around 40? And The Dungeon starts around 80? Were these 3 settings/rules supposed to be together? If so why did I have to purchase them separately?

Dear Dillard.
Dungeon is separate. And no, they were never supposed to be together. DUngeon even on Kickstarter was in different book, and books/pdfs with all merged to one thing was a Kickstarter only things. If you purchased them via kickstarter, you shouldn`t buy it again. If you did, I can refund you.

In KS, we had Core book and Fantasy book - Core had those rules, space rangers and voodoo pirates, Fantasy had Dungeon, Gothica and Kung Fu. But pdfs or books with them merged was only KS, people agreed that I can sell rules and settings separately, but they asked to leave those kickstartered things only for them.

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.
