The Life, Death, and Apotheosis of Bastard Jim

The Life, Death, and Apotheosis of Bastard Jim is a small LARP created for the Golden Cobra Challenge. In it, you will take on the role of actors in a small theatrical troupe putting on an improvisational, surreal play on very short notice. It's a bit "meta," I guess. This is a pay what you want title, but if you're interested in my work, consider tipping or checking out some of the commercial tabletop games in my catalogue.

The Premise

  1. You are part of a traveling troupe of actors who make a living putting on plays and improvisational performances for the enjoyment and edification of the masses. Unfortunately, you’ve been struggling with finances as of late. The people just don’t seem to appreciate the theatre like they used to.  

  2. Mere hours before the scheduled performance, the proprietor of the venue informs you that a Very Important Person is likely to be in attendance and has specifically requested an “interpretation” of The Life, Death, and Apotheosis of Bastard Jim. While not one of you is a stranger to Bastard Jim (what thespian worth their salt wasn’t raised on this grand tradition), it isn’t exactly your troupe’s specialty. You have a set amount of time to put the performance together and put it on in front of a live audience.

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.
