FOR USE WITH THE SPECTACULARS CORE GAME

Ready to create your own comic book universe? This book is filled with pages of important, iconic elements that make up the foundational elements of your own comic book setting. Inside you will find entries for your setting’s powerful, alien artifacts, your setting’s supervillain prison, your setting’s government agency that deals with superpowered conflicts, and important background characters like the head of your setting’s most important news media empire. As you encounter these elements for the first time in the game’s scenarios, you and your players will define these elements, and then from that moment on they become a permanent part of your setting.

Create your universe as you play
No need to fill out this entire book up-front; the best way to create your comic book universe is to start playing! The Spectaculars game is designed to fill out your setting’s details as they are needed, and guides you to create new elements of your setting at the time they become necessary for play. As the issues go by, your setting will grow in depth and detail, and soon you’ll have a universe just as exciting as those created by stories comic book imprints!

Waiting for you inside...
In the pages of this book, you will find a blank canvas just waiting to be filled with the details of a comic book setting that you and your friends create during play, including:

  • 30 Setting Element pages
  • 8 Major Narrator Character pages
  • 26 Minor Narrator Character entries
  • 60 Publication History entries, for tracking what happens during play
  • Guidance on using this book

This product contains only the Spectaculars Setting Book, with content identical to the book included with the Spectaculars Core Game, reformatted to standard Letter (8.5" x 11") size for easy printing. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: This file is included in the Spectaculars Core Game PDFs, and has been broken out as a separate product for print-on-demand purposes. If you already own the Spectaculars core game PDFs, you already have access to these PDFs!

Me, too: I'm not interested in the game itself, but I could use a setting creation guide.

Could this be used as a way to create a supers campaign that doesn't use the Spectacular RPG?

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.
