Epochrypha - A Book of Speculative Ages

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

What is time? Where does it go? How much of it has passed, and how much is yet to come?

Worlds, both fictional and real, are immensely varied and strange. Why should their pasts be sensible, organized, and predictable? Why should fictional evolution follow a logical progression? Our world certainly didn’t.

This book features:

-100 Speculative Ages

-Ideas for Using Them

-Notes on Time and Perspective

-Black and White Illustrative Figures

Including Ages Such As:

44. Pseudopredatory Collapse
Mass extinction caused by the discovery that several apex predators were, in fact, cardboard cut-outs and plaster models. Arms race to claim the new vacancies turns several innocuous species into vicious killers. The Treaty of Mud, signed by most creatures (eels and flatworms abstaining) bans vorpal claws, forcing an uneasy peace. Parasite-spies steal evolutionary advantages and sell them to the highest bidder. Age ends due to general exhaustion.

72. Arthropodopocalypse
Gigantic, sea-scorpion-like arthropods emerge from the ocean floor and wreak havoc on land. Fledgling civilization of tuber-eating flatworm people devoured. Apocalyptic spiders rise up in joy, build triumphant banner nests. Giant arthropods die within a few hundred years, but by then the spiders have seized control. The world is locked in their eight-limbed grasp for several million years.

By the author of the CoinsandScrolls blog, Tomb of the Serpent Kings, and Kidnap the Archpriest.

A preview (one that isn't the table of contents) would be helpful to determine if customers want to buy your product.

Ah, it deactivated the previews for some reason. Fixed!

That preview certainly sells the art, but it's still not very clear what the book *is*. It'd be better if we could see a sample of content.

That also appears to be corrected. Now I'm interested. :)

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.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
