It should be mentioned that most, if not all, of the tables here can be found in the Great Book of Random Tables: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/344554/The-Great-Book-of-Random-Tables

So if you already have that, you might want to give a pass on this.

Oh Goody!! I never could see the point of paying for all of those tables, one at a time. Having them all in bundled up at a decent price is a win-win! Well done, sir! :D

I'll be purchasing in 3,2,1...

p.s. Could we get some ODS or CSV format files to quickly import them in to our favorite VTT software? I prefer running game sessions in MapTool or Foundry myself. :)

Good but you need to add OCR. It's a pain to implement into Fantasy Grounds without being able to copy and paste.

Noticed Alot of people here have the same problem.

I, like many other commenters, would like a version of this where the text is accessible to copy/paste. I import all random table products I buy into Inspiration Pad Pro, which is how I use them at the gametable. I've done this with "The Book Of Random Tables: Science Fiction", which isn't protected like this, and I see "TBORT2" isn't protected like this either.

Combine that with the PDF's dense black border, which while pretty makes home printing a version of this annoyingly expensive in toner/ink, and in it's present form this product is almost unusable. Which is a crying shame because the actual content looks great.

I'm not sure what the issue is since the PDF is set to allow copy/paste. Also, the settings are identical to TBORT2 and the Sci-Fi PDF. I'll look into further, though.

It appears to have been rendered with a transparent image overlaying each page. If you click on any page, it selects the whole page (not just the text) as an image, and when you copy/paste it into an image editor, it's completely blank.

Hope that helps track down the issue. Best of luck.

Come on - allow pdf editing. Or produce text-only files please.

These files are still copy/paste protected meaning the purchase is not usable for me in my VTT of choice. Is there an update?

Thanks for the update. I was about to buy the whole series, but now I won't until someone can confirm this issue is fixed. If I can't port the lists into my other data to be usable easily without having to manually retype everything, I find no point in buying them. I also saw a product on DMs Guild selling an index to these lists, which tells me some organization consideration is needed. One shouldn't need to buy a combined index from someone else for a product they bought, something like that should automatically be included with the series.

Hi Dicegeeks. I really like this book and the 2nd!

I would like to "one up" the request to make it available as text for those of us who paid for the tomes. I tend to print and resize info for my leather bound A5 notebook (8 1/2" x 5 1/2") because it's convenient at the table and looks super awesome cool. I also sometimes use a DM screen I've setup in Trello and would like to have textual versions of the rolltables there.

Keep up the great work!

Is it possible to get a printer-friendly version of this PDF? The heavy black designs on every page border is going to be a toner killer.Other than this, the tables are great and I look forward to using this book.

The file I have for this (and Random Tables 2) seems to have a problem with some of the fonts. The title page, and the titles of each table are ... gibberish. Since other people don't seem to be having this problem I'm wondering why.

OneBookShelf watermarks the PDFs when you download them. I imagine that is what is causing the issue.

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.
