GALACTIC VENDING MACHINE
Its late, you're tired, and the orbital station's diner is closed in recognition of some local planetary holiday. You'd just eat your ship's nutra-maker's mush but you can't... the stupid thing broke down last week. You're starving and the quickest option are the assorted vending machines that line the walls of the station's lobbies. Not really a meal, per say, but it'll keep hunger away for awhile.

You walk up to the nearest snack machine and study the contents. Bags of candy, packs of preserved meat, some weird lab made protein concoction that you don't even want to think about. You spot a mushy breakfast cake sealed in plastic foil and foolishly press the buttons for it. Sure enough the stupid cake gets stuck on the way down, preventing you from retrieving your purchase... you've been ripped off by physics! Cursing, you add more credits to the machine and make another purchase. This time its a pack of meat flavored tuber chips. The chips drop and you grab a canned beverage from another machine before wolfing the meager snack down. Still hungry, you pay for another bag. It is only after you finished the second pack of those salty, greasy, slightly strange tasting chips do you notice that the snack expired over two galactic months ago. This is not going to be good... you can already feel cold sweat on your forehead as your stomach starts to tighten into knots.
Welcome to the real hazard of space travel... the risk of consuming crap out of a neglected spaceport vending machine.

Welcome to Galactic Vending Machine, the sci-fi role playing product that puts focus on the seedy, lowbrow gastro adventures of spaceport vending machine dining! Here you will find twenty different vending machine item selections that you are likely to come across as you wander about that unsavory orbital station or spaceport city. From beverages to snacks to even over the counter medications, this product has it!
Though set in a typical star faring/space opera setting, the details presented in Galactic Vending Machine are carefully written in a manner to make the supplement compatible with most appropriate role playing game systems/editions.

Galactic Vending Machine is not your typical star faring RPG product. Like that lonely bag of chips hung up in the back of the vending unit, this is the supplement guide that you probably thought you never wanted or needed. If you are a fool for crazy little details, however, the Galactic Vending Machine is just the product for you! This supplement painstakingly details a wealth of elements dealing with the vending machine selection entries, from cost to varieties to the chances of spoilage. There's even notes about the chance that the chosen item will get hung up in the machine on its way down! You will also find a fully fleshed out universal rules system for handling bouts of indigestion. Customers into 3D printing will also find 4 models (28mm scale) of the basic galactic vending machine with download purchase of this pdf supplement.

Product Contents:
22 Page PDF with 20 vending items and system generic rules
4 STL vending machine files plus 5th file containing all 4 machines

I'm not even in the market for sci-fi RPG stuff, but I accidentally clicked on this, read it, and now I'm buying it. Kudos, sirs on your ability to instill in me a deep sense of curiosity that can not be sated until I KNOW WHAT'S IN THAT VENDING MACHINE!

Gordon,
Thank you very much for your interest! If Dan and I do well on this initial release we are planning on at least one or two more follow ups. We're thinking about for future installments having 50 or so items instead of 20... plus more alternate machine designs as companion 3d print files.

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.
