Frontiers of the Empire

ADD TO WISHLIST >

I grew up half the Empire away. The village of my family would be nearly two months’ march to reach, and maybe after my time at the frontier they will let me have time off to return to them, before maybe coming here again, or retiring onto a farm with a family of my own.

The Frontier is dangerous. Many places in the Empire are risky, but the Frontier is dangerous. I have seen the fallen towers of the Old Empire. There are strange beasts that live out here. The savage tribes are out beyond the frontier. The Empire has subdued many tribes, of many races, but there are many beyond that are just plain dangerous out here. Some of the others come back with tales of things that hardly seem like they could be real. Ponds that suddenly come alive and try eat a person, statues that would come to life and shred the skin from your back, and the undead. Every second hole in the ground seems infested with them. Skeletons, zombies, ghosts, and who knows what are out there.

The Frontier is dangerous, but it could make you rich beyond dreaming.


This is a set of additional rules, which if implemented on a group, will provide stronger incentives for the Exploration Pillar of D&D or other RPGs. It is intended for 3.5E or 5E D&D, but could easily be adapted for use in other systems by adjusting the type and value of rewards so that they are more compatible with those systems.

Based on experience, it would also be a good system to use for mass player situations (where there are multiple GMs and 15+ players involved in the same campaign). Starting from a smallish city state, or at the border of a small nation in a 'big unknown', it will give players incentives to take risks but also approach 'outsiders' without their swords drawn by default.

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.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
