Adamant Entertainment 15th Anniversary Flashback

ADD TO WISHLIST >

In November of 2003, Adamant Entertainment began -- as the design house for Green Ronin's Skull & Bones historical fantasy D&D release.  We launched as a company with two PDFs of support -- an introductory adventure, Island of the Damned, and the first issue of what would become a regularly-published PDF magazine of pirate-themed adventure, Buccaneers & Bokor.

To celebrate our 15th Anniversary, Adamant is making these first two releases free to download.  They were designed with the 3rd Edition of the d20 system in mind, but with a modicum of tweaking by any intrepid Gamemaster, they can be made usable for any edition.  Besides, they're free!

Thank you for 15 years of getting to do what we love. Keep your eyes open -- we've still got plans.

Sure would like my copy of Buckaroo Banzai I preordered YEARS ago.

I keep forgetting about the BB RPG I preordered. I never got a refund or a heads-up. Fond memories for $40.00 dollars I'll never see again.

On the "Island of the Damned" adventure... Page 6, left column under Kitchen - the words are cut off and the rest of the text is missing. Page 7, left column, the beginning letters of each line are missing, as if the page was scanned starting too far to the right. It would be awesome to see this adventure pdf get fixed, I'm sure it'd make a great addition to Skull & Bones/Piracy Campaigns.

Sadly, this appears to be a margins issue during the original export of the PDF, and unfortunately, after rummaging around my files, I cannot find the 15-year-old layout files so that I can re-export. Sorry!

How disappointing. As-is, the adventure is worthless, even as a freebie. Good thing I have Buccaneers & Bokor Issues 1-7 and Corsair (and that they didn't suffer the same fate), otherwise there'd be no supplementary material for Green Ronin's Skull & Bones RPG at all. Man, I was really looking forward to a new adventure, too... couldn't you do some more digging and at the very least put out the missing text as an errata file?

I don't see how it's worthless. If you copy the text from the PDF into a text editor, you can see the missing bits from page 6. The first character of every line in the left column is still missing if you try this there but anyone with a reasonable reading level can work out what the missing letters are. Yes, it's a pain, but the adventure is not "worthless."

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.
