Tomes of Alchemy

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Tomes of Alchemy is a generic fantasy supplement that describes in detail 20 different books that players could find on bookshelves and in libraries, broadly on the subject of alchemy.

Each book has its name and author, a description of the book and contents, including appearance, size, weight and estimated value, and notes that suggest what effect the book could have in game.

Topics covered include poisons, ingredients, potions, plants, charlatanry, alchemical metallurgy and some more philosophical works.

These books could be used by players to build their own library, help enhance their knowledge, or simply be valuable pieces of treasure.

This PDF supports Adobe layers and the page backgrounds and images can be disabled to make printing easier.

Some sample titles are:

Imrauhil's Guide to Better Potion Making by Imrauhil

The Alchemical Primer by Carac Vonneyn

Alchemical Glassware - Its Manufacture, Uses and Maintenance by Celid Jelash

One page is the front cover and one the front matter.

This supplement is also available in a Pathfinder version. The latter is a bit longer and has Pathfinder stats rather than generic notes.

A great compilation of in-game books. Listing a little of their backstories, and potential uses for the books. Easy to create hooks and plots with the books as the goal or the books guiding the way to the creation of some lost lore. On the down [...]

My opinion - this is cool! Though players may find its in-game use sort of limited, its contents can add an entirely new and unexplored dimension to game play. Some of the books are described as being valuable only as a collectible, but others have [...]

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.
