optimised means optimised for size
so it misses things like bookmarks

Sorry no. There is a tiny chance that I may find the time to give it a Print on Demand version.
But a 2nd Edition is in the works and will be Kickstarted this year.

I just quick browse the book, is there any sample adventures in the book?
P310-313 looks like ones, but not complete?

There are lots of adventure seeds/ideas, but no full adventure.
Grab this free adventure 'Ghost Ship Carthage': https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/174888/Fragged-Empire-Adventure--The-Ghost-Ship-Carthage

excellent game system highly recommended.
so many character trait options
Yes character creation can take less than 5 minutes. but if you are like me you'll turn it into hours of pouring over the choices. (this is a good thing!)

I highly recommend you get the Antogonist archive as well as it gives a much broader range of enemies to throw at the characters (its like a bestiary with factions)

Just a heads up: The optimised version doesn't have proper bookmarks. (Same seems to be true for Seas, Kingdom, and Aeternium as well.)

I reviewed Fragged Empire for Stuffer Shack last year. And later published that review on my blog here: http://withinthedungeon.blogspot.com/2017/11/fragged-empire-rpg-review.html

Long story short... I gave it a mixed review, but most of that had to do with personal tastes. It's certainly well illustrated and decently written. I think it could have been streamlined a bit and the game does seem to suffer some bloat, but once you're familiar; there's a lot of material here that should assist with getting a session of two with your group. The setting material was my favorite aspect of this RPG.

I'm extremely disappointed and annoyed that the PDF does not have a detailed table of contents. All it has is a link to the timeline. This is a large book, and information on any given topic is often scattered all over the place (for example, discussion of weapon keywords near the middle, but tables for weapons way in the back). Without functional TOC links, it makes it a real hassle to find what you're looking for. At the asking price, I feel a little cheated. My GM's PDF from Kickstarter had a working TOC, so why doesn't this $29 version have it?!?

Hi James, I'm sorry for your trouble. I think you might accidentally be using the Optimised PDF (smaller file size, no hyperlinks, no bookmarks, etc...) rather than the standard PDF. This is the same file that your GM has access to from the Kickstarter.

Ah, you're right, my mistake. I had just assumed the only difference would be in the resolution of the art or something like that. Thank you for your quick response.

I have a minor gripe. While I understand the thought process behind it I personally hate having my PDF marred with a watermark. If you bought a physical copy you wouldn't have your name and order number across every page and so ultimately you would hope that would apply to the PDFs too.

As far as I know (though I have no proof either way), the watermark is added by DriveThruRPG and seems to be present on even freely distributed stuff. I therefore suspect that it isn't a choice for the publisher / author.

Sorry, there are no current plans to make this POD (mostly due to me being very busy).
The physical book is available from my website: www.fraggedempire.com

If you get some free time I hope you'll look into it. My whole group is interested in this game. It's current price from the site just isn't feasible for any of us, sadly. Looks really beautiful.

I admit that I don't know where you are, so this might be me being stupid but I just wanna make sure...

You know that the prices on their website are in Australian Dollars, right? If you're in the USA, it's not gonna be $100. It's gonna be more like $80, with the shipping included.

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.
