She wears a leather top and breeches; a blue-furred wild folk with a prosthetic right arm dressed in a pink top, and a brown belt with a scimitar on her hip; a green-skinned spellscorched in a brown dress, leather belt and bracers, removing a sword from the skeleton's throne; and a centaur with horns and pink hair dressed in a white blouse, flowery headpiece, and leather armor on her horse half. She carries a wooden staff. Text reads Odysseys & Overlords Second Edition Savage Worlds Licensed Product.

I've noticed color-coded covers of red, purple, and yellow.
It appears red is for rules books, purple is for adventures, and yellow is for setting material.
Is this correct?

Strongly considering it. If I do release POD, I will discount previous digital purchasers as much as possible, up to PDF price.

It may just be me but you may want to check these Odysseys & Overlords PDFs on Adobe Acrobat Reader for Android. A few of the pages seem to not be displaying properly, I can see them fine on PC or if I open it through Kindle oddly enough. Seems to be the first few pages but there may be more, I haven't checked yet.

No problem Travis, it is Adobe Acrobat Reader Version 19.3.0.9016, which is the latest version available (as I write this). My Moto G7 phone is running Android 9 Pie.

Also someone suggested that a similar issue might be font related and to attempt a fresh install of Adobe Acrobat Reader, I can confirm that the problem persisted after a fresh install this morning.

Thanks for the information, that will help me do some troubleshooting and research on my end. I'll dig through adobe's forums and see if there is a known issue or cause.

The implied setting is interesting, a shattered world recovering from a divine and demonic apocalypse that created the player character species, each with a distinct flavor. The primary Adventuring atea is not simple generic wilderness, but the abandoned ruins of a long gone civilization that has never been properly resettled; most of the humanoid types normally seen as monsters have their own homelands and only have exploratory presences in this area too hazardous to resettle. One of the areas characters start from issues writs of salvage that essentially give Adventurers a legal reason to exist within the campaign world. It is a very thoughtful setting for an Old School game, abd is cross compatible with numerous retroclones.

Bard songs take a turn to use? That seems difficult, especially if you are trying to use the charm or sleep song. Is this correct? Also noticed the Abyss kissed are listed as being able to combine thief with any other class, but this is not listed in the section dealing with combined classes.

Bard songs is inaccurate. Thanks for the catch! Should be one ROUND for Bard Songs.

Thanks for the catch RE: Abyss-Kissed as well. They can, in fact be Magic-User/Thief.

I'll get these addressed in the next update!

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.
