City of Mist is a role-playing game of film-noir investigation and super-powered action. It is set in a modern metropolis rife with crime, conspiracies, and mysteries. The protagonists are Rifts, ordinary people who became the living embodiment of a legend, their Mythos. While your Rifts may seek to strike a balance between the mysterious nature of their Mythos and their mortal aspirations, the powers within them always threaten to tear their lives apart. They have unwittingly become a part of a secret world of clashing stories, and soon other legends will come looking for them with demands.

City of Mist is based on the story-driven Apocalypse Engine, but it takes a step further into narrative gaming by introducing several new features:

  • Rich character motivations built around compelling Mysteries and Identities. Follow your characters’ themes to gain their benefits and evolve them or go against them to discover new aspects with a unique non-linear character evolution system.

  • Know no limits for powers, abilities, traits, gear, or allies. Everything in City of Mist is described by free text tags, so you can create exactly the character you want.

  • Full-on narrative engine, with an edge. Every action you take in the game is based on the interpretation of your tags, using moves to deliver dramatic outcomes that drive the story forward.

  • Status spectrums, a new system of ‘narrative damage’. You can use descriptors to create any imaginable setback or advantage so that every action in the fiction, in and out of combat, can have lasting gameplay implications.

I can't extract the files--I'm getting an error that says "0x80070057: The parameter is incorrect."

EDIT - looks like it's only affecting the sample cases. What I'm turning up on Google is that it doesn't like the colons in the filenames; however, I can't modify the filenames in the ZIP file, so I'm unable to fix it.

What you get with this free download is the updated and expaned starter set from 2016 - a rules booklet in the layout of the full books (which was not the case before). The same is true for the two cases "V is for going viral" and "Demons in Cross End". Both are now updated to the ice berg case stucture. And have the improved write ups for dangers (e.g. NPCs [non-player characters]). Even so it is not as detailed as the All Seeing Eye Starter Kit [https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/279000/City-of-Mist-AllSeeing-Eye-Investigations-Starter-Set?manufacturers_id=10428] it give you an good introduction to the world and system and provides you not only with the original seven pregenerated player characters (fully illustrated and also printer-friendly versions) but also a screenfillable character sheet, the cheat sheets for the moves (basic rules) of the game for eiter players or MC (aka game master) but also four crew themes to choose from and tracking cards for the play.

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.
