About

In the late 22nd century mankind expands to the stars, only to discover that humanity’s troublesome nationalism is a poor template for interstellar wrangling in which the balkanistic cultures of Earth pale into insignificance. Lying directly in the path of the Stotatl Empire’s expansions, humanity must both defend itself whilst forging unlikely alliances with aliens facing a similar absorption.

Whether you are a Terran soldier or an Aronhi Warrior, the goal of survival is a common goal. Success is only found where wit and courage stand in the face of fear, and victories are forged in the furnaces of battle. But not all the glory lies in the hands of warriors. Exploring the vast wilderness of space, charting the dangers, uncovering the treasures and establishing friendships can build the on the foundations of survival.

The conflict, intrigue, action and adventure of these times provide an exciting roleplaying environment for players, whether they are the space marines of a battlefleet, traders on the lanes of commerce, spies on a mission, or just adventure-seeking  tourists in the void of space-time. The limits of play are only bounded by the imagination of its inhabitants, and the infinite universe.

This book gives you everything you need to run a character level science fiction roleplaying game based in the FSpaceRPG™ universe. This book is packed with information and combines many previous publications into it. For further background refer to our website.

Picked up digital version and it appears some of the files are missing (FSpaceRPG_Print_RBG.pdf and FSpaceRPG_Print_CMYK.pdf). They come up as files to download but get an error that the files cannot be found.

I'm reloading those 2 files with slightly different names in the hopes that fixes it, and it isn't a file size processing problem. Please let me know if this works.

Was the pdf with interactive in the name okay?

Downloaded them this morning (before I saw your reply) with no issues. Had no problems with the Interactive.pdf. Thanks for the reply.

We have plans to complete the full colorisation of all the art in the book, expand on some of the interactive functionality over time, fill in those pages with empty spaces, and generally expand the book where appropriate to round it out to be a all in one flagship book. The colorisation updates being done here are also being done to any of our current version books still using black and white art - a bit of a legacy from the 20th century art commissions.

I should also mention that we are reviewing PhonePDF formats for future potential offerings. The current Living Rulebook, like most of the FSpaceRPG books is squarely for print and tablet at the moment, although the twin column design for most copy and the interactive buttons do make it somewhat usable on a Phone. We have some other books in single column formats - like most of the Far Frontiers books, so we'll spend some time looking at our future approach.

Please reset the PDF so we can use the PDF Page Navigation and other 'standard' menus. Having to go back a page by scrolling is really annoying!

Hi, Bookmarks and other navigation elements are all present and working in last copies uploaded. I just hadn't set the bookmarks list to appear by default for those readers that support that. Otherwise they are there - just explore the settings in you reader. I'll load replacement copies with this as the default view seen by Acrobat Reader shortly.

The discussion of the setting is nice. However, I'd like some meat. What system do you use? Dice types etc. It is very hard to justify buying this without knowing what you are selling. I went to your publisher homepage and it is just as opaque. I don't have an unlimited amount of time to navigate your website in the hopes of figuring out how this game really works at the nitty gritty level.

The game is it's own RPG engine - the engine origins nearly predate OGL and other opensourcing of game engines. It uses d10/d100. We have a free product that explains dice usage and the way we handle character skills: FSpaceRPG Dice and Skill usage primer

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.
