Currents of the Past

ADD TO WISHLIST >

"Currents of the Past" is a spooky adventure set in 1901 in present-day Latvia, which was then part of Tsarist Russia. August Peter von Uexküll, a German-Baltic nobleman and inventor, invites the player characters to his country estate, where he wants to demonstrate wireless voice transmission with the help of a radio wave device. Once there, strange incidents occur, and it's up to the player characters to get to the bottom of things.

The adventure describes backgrounds, locations, NPCs and possible scenes, and comes with eight ready-made characters. Stats are given as % and can be easily converted to other systems. It is ideally suited for one-shots and convention games.

OK, I'm intrigued.

But....how do you pronounce "Uexküll"?

:D

(I took a bit of German, so I'm guessing something close to "ooeks-cool".)

Regarding the pronunciation of "Uexküll":
"Uex" is pronounced similar to "ox", only the "o" sounds more like an "i" (in "India", for example). "Küll" is pronounced like the English "kill", only the "i" sounds more like an "u".
"Ixkill" might be a good vocal approximation. Both vowels are short.

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.
