The Clock Mage Preview Edition: Available Here

An eternity passes in the blink of an eye. A moment lasts as long as you need it to. Time is something for other people to deal with. You are the Clock, and time is your tool.

The Clock Mage is a playbook for the Dungeon World roleplaying game, and the first of my Mage Revised series. The Mage is one of the most popular playbooks I have ever written, but it has its flaws - the class is too open ended, and is generally capable of solving problems on a larger scope than any other class can really confront. My solution was to pare down the class into multiple different classes, each built around a single Spell Focus. This class is a reimagining of a Mage with Spell Focus: The Clock.

The Clock Mage is built around time control. You have no magic but the ability to move differently, see differently. While others operate in three dimensions, you operate in four - time is just another direction for you to travel in. The Clock Mage uses an innovative Tick-Tock mechanic to limit her access to what moves she can do at any given time, by flipping her "mana" between two separate stat pools - one for speeding up, and one for slowing down.

The biggest problem with this playbook is the "Death Move: Borrowed Time" move: It has the major flaw of focusing the whole fiction on that single character and a huge amount of play time. Also allowing you to do whatever you want without con [...]

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.
