Dark Realms Role Playing Universe

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The Dark Realms Role Playing Universe first saw print in early 1998. Now 6 years and two print runs later, the Guild has decided the Dark Realms will live again as an e-product. As such, we have upgraded some of the art and editing and did all new layouts to present you with a much nicer looking and more complete Dark Realms 2nd Edition.

The Dark Realms is a fantasy RPG designed for the true role players; providing a unique results system empowering the Realm Master with the ability to keep his/her players in the dark regarding dice rolls and the potenecy of their encounters. Whereas with many systems players can tell much about an encounter based in the dice being rolled, or target numbers that need to be achieved on a given dice. With the Dark Realms unique Results Table, all random results from rolling a character's attributes, to combat results, spell casting, present the players and Realm Master with ever changing target numbers, with 'good' or 'bad' varying across the entire D12 spectrum.

The pearl of the Dark Realms system is its fluid rules for character Skills and Spell Casting. In the Dark Realms players do not learn a 'skill' or 'Spell', but rather learn much broader areas of knowledge, leaving players to create unique applications of that knowledge during game play. For instance, a character doesn't learn a 'Fire Ball Spell', but rather simply learns the Spell Field of fire. With it, a player may attempt any mysticism based upon fire, with success, failure, and effect being based on the difficulty of the exact applications the players come up with and the skill level the character has with the Spell Field of fire. In this manner, there really are no "spells", just hundreds if not thousands of unique and specific things the players may attempt with their knowledge/talent.

A role playing game truly designed to empower role players who enjoy the role playing aspects of a role playing game above and beyond the ol 'hack-n-slash' and dungeon crawl. But fear not, this easy and flexible system can let players do those as well...

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.
