It’s never been easier! A streamlined stat block helps you quickly reference everything you need to run the creature at the table. But delve deeper, and the creature entry is chock full of lore, fascinating details and supporting information, and options. Find a myriad of ways to customize the creature, with different names, alternate special abilities and traits, interesting looks, distinct motivations, companions or pets, lair designs, unique mechanics, and more.

Many of the creatures are presented in special three-page spreads, giving them a unique showcase and putting loads of info at your fingertips. The PDF of the Cypher System Bestiary is paginated in 2-page spreads, to keep the viewing experience consistent as you scroll through the book. But the special spreads are also included at the end of the file in their three-page format.

This is a fantastic book, and the approach to the creatures / mobs is detailed and very well done. It's more than just a catalog of stat blocks, with extra tables and suggestions on how to use the mobs.

The PDF has some weirdness, however -- after page 198, there are nine 3-page spreads that duplicate actual pages on the interior of the book.

Hi, Chris. The print version of this book has a number of fold-out pages that give you three-page spreads dedicated to a single topic. For the PDF, we included those pages twice--first in conventional, two-page format, so the pagination flow isn't messed up when you view the PDF in standard two-page-spread mode, and then again at the end of the file in their three-page spread view.

I don't think you are understanding what is meant we asking for a preview on this site. I don't want to download a copy of the game in a short form. I would like to be able to press the preview button that is located below the image file when a preview copy is provided.

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.
