Penciltown

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Penciltown is a solo resource management and strategy game in which you help a newly-founded town to survive, grow and thrive. It's print-and-play, and you draw and erase things as you go. It's heavily driven by chance, and its intention is to create interesting stories.

You need a pencil, an eraser and two six-sided dice. You also need the rulebook, which you can print or use on a screen, and a playsheet, which you can print or draw on graph paper.

You start with a single structure. You draw and erase resources as you gain and lose them, and gradually expand your town by paying for and drawing buildings. You make tough tradeoffs since excelling at everything is pricy. Buildings give proximity bonuses and space is limited, so placement matters.

You attract people to your town and specialize them into fighters, clerics, philosophers and more. The giant events table throws problems at your town which you must solve, including increasingly dangerous attacks. Later on you can equip adventurers with potions and gear and send them on risky but rewarding quests.

It scratches that city-building and base-defending itch, but in a simpler, paperier package.

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.
