We Were Munchkins

Suggested Price $0.99

25 years ago, James 'Grim' Desborough and Steve Mortimer wrote The Munchkin's Guide to Powergaming. Little did they know this would start an incredibly profitable chain of events for Steve Jackson Games.

Being young, stupid, and needing the money, the contract wasn't exactly the best. In the intervening years, SJG has made millions of dollars from spin-off products while Grim and Steve have made a few hundred.

It's rare to help create a hit in this industry and rarer still to profit from it!

Having consulted with their audience, the authors have concluded that we might as well make it possible for anyone with a pricked conscience to donate a modest amount if they enjoyed The Munchkin's Guide to Powergaming or its many spin-offs.

This is mostly what this is, but it'll also be a living document, updated with reminiscences from the writing of the original book and insights into aspects of it, such as The Cyberpunk Shopping Trip, Lard Sandwiches, and The Gun is Your Skill List. 

This project includes some AI artwork, as it's a charitable donation to ageing gamers, and thus doesn't have a budget.

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.
