Praise for MM/MV:
"I utterly adored this book. ... 5 stars, seal of approval, best of-tag; if I currently had the time for a Top ten list, this’d be a contender. I’ll give it my EZG Essentials-tag instead. I hope you check out this book and love it as much as I did."

—Endzeitgeist


.


128 pages of ghostly adventure!

A ghostly setting that mixes pirates, ghosts, graffiti, swamp monsters, and the spirit world with the themes of Kakfa, Lovecraft, and Camus.


.


SETTING

Within the dark demiplane of Anon, the city of Vestige is built atop the crypts and ruins of countless ancient cultures. It lies atop Vestibul, an entrance to the surreal realm of the dead. You will find the living and ghosts existing in tandem in this unusual place.

.

ADVENTURE

Escape from Ghost Island is a complete adventure suitable for approximately 5th level characters that introduces you to a truly unique and surreal realm and showcases the setting organically as the adventure progresses. In the adventure, you are newly arrived and find yourself stranded on the mysterious, mist-shrouded island of Anon, in the strange city of Vestige—where ghosts mingle with mortals as if it were commonplace. However, you won’t have much time to gawk before you become swept up in a Kafkaesque adventure—and even more danger! You must overcome challenges and puzzles, uncover hidden secrets, come face to face with madness, the fragility of life, and the absurdity of existence to escape this place. Can you maintain hope in the face of impossible odds? Will you survive nefarious pirates, dangerous creatures, or the land of the dead itself? And, if your character dies while exploring Anon, your adventure won’t be quite over...

.


COMPATIBILITY

This book is written to be as system-agnostic as possible while still remaining compatible with most editions of the world’s most popular roleplaying game (especially the 5th, 3rd, and 1st editions). It provides everything you need to run a self-contained RPG campaign set within Anon, or to import the demiplane into another campaign setting of your choosing. Regardless of your favorite edition or system, you should be able to use this book with minimal conversions. The book also contains a 4-page rules-light system so you can use this book as a standalone game in a pinch.

The review mentions a perfect-bound book, but it's only PDF format here. Did PoD exist and then get removed, or...?

Just curious.

Hi Gord! The physical book's first run was not available via DTRPG (message me if you're interested!). I am in the process of revising the current book for a 2nd release, which will also include a POD option here. That should be out in a few months. The logistics of licensing rights and all that can get a bit complicated, I apologize!

Hi Adam! Can you elaborate? It's working fine from my desktop. If it's not working I'll do my best to fix it if I made an error.

It IS taking a very long time to load today, but after waiting it does go from all gray pages to showing the preview. Oddly, it was supposed to be a 10-page preview so I'll look into that!

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.
