The Best of 2016

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Reprinting the 12 most popular articles of 2016 at Tales of a GM.


Tales of a GM has been running since August 2013. This means the archives are expanding steadily, and progressively harder to access. The blog has well over 1,200 posts. Trawling through so many articles is no simple task, no matter how good my index.

Thus, I thought it might be helpful to produce a pdf of the most popular pages on the blog. According to the statistics, the twelve articles reprinted here were the most popular posts on Tales of a GM for 2016.


This pdf features:

  • The twelve most popular posts from 2016:
    • 30 Top Sites for Storytelling GMs
    • Why I Love HeroQuest 2
    • My Big Four RPGs
    • My Big Four RPG Settings
    • Table Tools: The Villain-Based Plot Engine
    • Improv Gaming, Part 1: My Core Tools
    • January Blog Carnival: Gates & Portals
    • Warlock’s Journal Contest, Storm & Shield: Galactic Gadgets
    • RPG Blog Carnival: Building Player Engagement
    • Improv Gaming, Part 7: Building Narrative Options
    • September ‘16 Blog Carnival: Session Outline Creation & Use
    • Improv Gaming, Part 6: Reference Sheets
  • BONUS - copy of Villain-Based Plot Engine Tables
  • Bookmarks
  • Art Layer for easy printing
  • Internal pdf hyperlinks
  • 85 pages, including front and back covers

Happy Gaming

Phil

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.
