A Bug's Guide To The Shimmer

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

They dwell forever in a series of tunnels underground. Lit and fed by a phosphorescent carpet of fungi and lichen. They battle strange beasts and giant creatures. They are small and blue.

They are The Roan and this is THE SHIMMER.

A Bug's Guide to the Shimmer is an adaptation of the world in my RPG system 3DIE6 for the Troika! Roleplaying system. It's a simple hack of the character archetypes, creatures and world, designed as part of Troikafest!  

It includes the following fine features:

  • Background and history of The Roan
  • Notes about the Shimmer
  • 1D6 worth of PC Backgrounds
  • 3D6 worth of Creatures and Foes
  • D66 Items and weapons
  • Advanced Skill descriptions
  • Some Maps  
  • Original artwork by Kris McClanahan
  • Some words also likely created by him
  • Troika! conversion and playtesting by Cannon and MJ
  • 1D6 unusual spelling choices

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.
