Creighton, I'm afraid that the discount currently showing for the Deal of the Day is only 20%, not the 50% advertised. I've messaged DTRPG about it, maybe they can find the problem. Fortunately I've already got all but one or two in the compilation, but I imagine others might be frustrated...

MSRP: $19.95
Deal price: $17.96 (50% off)
Deal ends in 4 hours, 26 minutes, and 45 seconds

Thanks for spotting this. I've fixed the problem myself. It seems when I increased the number of pages available to the preview it messed up the sale price setting. Again--thanks very much!

Why is this book listed as a scanned page book (hardback only? print only?)? In this day and age, that process seems archaic to say the least. I was all set to pull the trigger on a print+pdf bundle of this book, until I was that 'scanned page' notation on my order.

Hi Jon. I'm not sure why it is listed as a scanned book. I can absolutely guarantee that the book was prepared from a PDF uploaded by my good self!

Thanks, Creighton. I appreciate the follow-up. I think I bought the pdf already, so I'll take another look at the pdf and make a judgement call whether I should order the print version.

The included materials list should include "Dungeon Dressing: Dungeon Entrances" as a source.

Hey, if I'm running d&d 5e would I be better off with system neutral edition, or just doing spot conversions from the Pathfinder edition?

Personally, I'd got with the Pathfinder version. Most of the changes you'd need to make would just be DCs and suchlike. If you grab the Pathfinder PDF version and discover it's not for you, just let me know and I'll send you the System Neutral PDF free of charge. My contact details can be found on the Raging Swan website.

I hope you enjoy the book!

It would seem this is the only, available, method to contact you. Let me begin by saying I have gone through great lengths on both the "Raging Swan Press" site and this seller page collecting any possible scraps of your material I could. I love every bit of what I read in your books that Id rather have to sort out potential duplicated material than risk missing something. Admittedly I have made PDF printout of all blog posts as well as downloaded any free resources listed within the blog and all free materials listed here as well. Your work is invaluable in so many regards. I know how the opportunity to make some purchases and am eager to do so, however, I have one cause for hesitation. I do not use Pathfinder, nor even it's predecessor, I run my system under the 5th edition rules from WotC. Are there system agnostic titles that are purely fluff? Much of what I have already seen leads me to believe that the "Backdrop", "Dungeon Dressing", "Miscellany", "All that Glimmers"...See more

Hi!

Thanks for the question and the kind words! Most of our books--with the exception of adventures, Scions of Evil and the 100% Crunch line--are quite crunch light so they should work fine with 5e. For example, most entries in the Village Backdrop line have at most two stat blocks.

We have just released a System Neutral version of GM's Miscellany: Dungeon Dressing (available at RPGNow and DriveThruRPG) and are releasing a System Neutral version of GM's Miscellany: Wilderness Dressing at the end of the month. Both of these should be fine for use with 5e as long as you don't mind setting your own DCs and so on.

If you've got any more questions, check out the sidebar on our website. It's got an handy email link there which drops straight into my inbox. Thanks again--good luck with the campaign!

I have given the book a fairly solid skimming and I am really looking forward to using it on my next dungeon(which will also be my first real dungeon) and feel pretty good about ordering the pdf/softcover bundle. My only real complaint I have found is in the riddle section. I am not a huge fan of having the answers placed so close to the riddle. While I understand that the book is meant as a DM tool it still makes sense at least to me to have the answers on another page. It is hard to judge the quality of the riddle if you yourself can not mull it over in your mind. Perhaps others have greater self control but I found it near impossible to not see the answer out of the corner of my eye while reading the riddle. Anyway thank you.

Thanks very much for the kind comment, Adam. I'm glad you enjoyed the book, and I'm sorry the riddle section didn't work 100% for you. Hopefully, you'll still be able to use them in game!

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.
