Archaic Firearms

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Archaic Firearms is a hardware add-on for the Cepheus Engine roleplaying game.

Archaic Firearms provides you with a number of black powder firearms from Earth’s history, that can be added without fuss directly into your Cepheus Engine or 2D6-based SF RPG.
 
Included are a small number of Rules Options that referees may find add a little more verisimilitude to combats featuring black powder firearms in Cepheus Engine. The Tech Levels covered (TL 2-3) have the following approximate Terrestrial equivalencies: TL 2 Renaissance/Early Modern (1300 – 1700 AD), TL 3 Industrial Revolution (1700-1860). 

The referee may use this book in several ways:

  1. Add detail to a TL 2 or 3 planet.
  2. Assist in creating a ‘Flintlock Fantasy’ setting.
  3. Assist in creating an historical RPG setting for Cepheus Engine, set somewhere between 1500 and 1860 AD.

Bottom line up front: I wanted something to go along with blackpowder fantasy for Cepheus Engine. This is a perfect fit. Good history of the blackpowder firearm and how it informs the use of such weapons. The rules are light and easy to implement. Equi [...]

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.
