Homestead: Guide to Frontier Life, Pathfinder Version

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Howdy partner, welcome to the family ranch. It ain't much, but its home. And it ain't easy either, I'll tell you that much 'migo. Forget what you read in those back east dime novels. Life out here isn't all about shoot outs at high noon and stage coaches getting robbed. It's about moving two miles of cattle across dangerous terrain and spending two months on horseback. It's about gold rushes and sod busters, boomtowns and cattle barons. This is the way the west was won.

Homestead is a sourcebook for players and GM's who want to transport their characters into the world of classic TV westerns. This book details the genre of dramatic westerns set on small farms and sprawling cattle ranches. Most people envision the Old West as a place filled with gunslingers and cold blooded killers. While the western frontier did have a noticeably violent streak to it, most settlers and homesteaders faced a different array of problems. The some of the more popular television westerns of old sought to capture this dramatic struggle for survival set amidst the epic background that is the Wild West

The villains you face may be cut throats, gamblers, and outlaws, but they may just as well be slimy politicians, scheming cattle barons, and smooth talking con artists. Life on the open frontier means that there is always a problem to be solved and a new obstacle to overcome. The weather, wild animals, and the land itself are constant challenges.<o:p></o:p>

The ties of loyalty, friendship, and family are often strained but they never break. Dramatic westerns often center their stories on the themes of family and working together. The frontier family making a life for itself on the wild plains is a quintessential component of the western mythos.<o:p> </o:p>

PURCHASER
Is this a work in progress pdf or something? This isn't an actual pathfinder conversion. The 'prestige classes' are the d20 modern archetypes, the items still have purchase DC's instead of actual price, the formatting is atrocious... if I could get my money back I would.

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.
