Sword Worlds

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The Sword Worlds lie just beyond the Imperial border, a distinct cultural region settled long ago by refugees from a civil war. Theirs was a tough existence, but it produced a people both proud and resilient. Their history is one of internal and external conflict; wars for dominance of the Sword Worlds and wars against the Imperium.

Sword Worlds details the people of the Sword Worlds Confederation as they have never been seen before. Their motivations, their strengths and their weaknesses – along with the truth behind Imperial stereotypes of reckless spacegoing chauvinists, and the darker side of their culture.

This book examines how the worlds of the Confederation interact with one another, and how a technologically outmatched people have managed to stave off Imperial dominance for so long. Their armed forces are technologically simple yet incredibly resilient; their navy is very different to that of the Imperium. Minelayers, torpedo boats and orbital defence platforms defend the home worlds whilst battlecruisers raid deep into enemy territory.

Sword Worlds reveals secrets and little-known facts about the Sword Worlds Confederation. The Gimli endeavour, which strives to preserve Sword Worlds culture against any and all disasters; the Holmgang Compact, by which scores are settled illegally with honour. The Sword Worlders’ near-obsession with their tragic hero Admiral Denisov, and the Lost Swords – colonies that may still exist far beyond known space.

The Sword Worlds Confederation is a complex place, and at times a dangerous one. The Sword Worlders themselves are misunderstood by outsiders but one thing is clear – they are proud and quick to anger, slow to forgive. The Sword Worlds is a region where only the brave should venture, and where courage is the key to success or a noble death… or perhaps both.

How do you tell from the product page which edition the book is from? They have MGT1 and MGT2 stuff up here and it's hard to tell them apart sometimes.

The logo for MGT2 has the white curved arrowlike element that starts on the left and ends between the Ls.

Edit: Not always white but same shape.

How much of this is covered from the previous Swords Worlds supplement?

It looks like it has an additional 50 or so pages over the 1st edition one: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/94984/Sword-Worlds

£20 direct from Mongoose, £37 including a physical copy (though that last doesn't include P&P). Still expensive for a PDF, but that seems to be how Mongoose do their PDFs - I suspect it subsidises the physical books somewhat.

Well, Mongoose is an actual business with actual overhead and staff. And most of *their* expenses are pretty fixed. Sure, printing costs money, but the real expense is the work in developing the content. Possibly licensing fees. If you have a regular job and write content on the side, then you can underprice it. When you have people whose livelihood is dependent on the paychecks paid by company revenue, underselling is dumb.

We all like cheap stuff. But you aren't generally going to find those cheap pdfs coming from the professionals. That's the way it is.

Yes, but I'm on a fixed income and can't afford it. I'll wait until they put it on sale on Black Friday and buy it then. They still get paid, just not as much.

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.
