Dust, Fog, and Glowing Embers

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Enter a world of alchemical adventure!

In Dust, Fog, and Glowing Embers, create characters on the bottom rung of the socio-economic ladder in an early industrial-age city. Try to better your lot in life by accepting the help of a Patron, who will send you on dangerous missions. Inject special alchemical essences into your veins to turn yourself into mist, dust, or smoke. Seep under doors, avoid physical attacks, or hide in plain sight in the streets of the smoggy city.

Building on the engine of The Indie Hack, this game has rules for activating alchemical powers, shifting bodily humours (your psychological predisposition), and creating pseudo-scientific rituals.

Collect outstanding debts, purified essences, horrible scars, and dubious allies in this dark take on proto-industrial fantasy.

A note on the physical copies: There is no colour in the book. However, those listed "Color Book (Premium Heavyweight)" have superior ink coverage.

Whyyyyy did I not back this? Looks awesome, Slade. I really, really like the plethora of examples and explanation around the differences between hard, scene and soft details. You have a great looking book and the sample in here is actually useful for people who want to know what they're getting.

Wow! Thanks, Charles! You won't have to wait much longer (I'm looking at early December for wider release).

It's good to know that people are reading the sample pages, there has been some confusion (even anger) about previous products.

96 page, B&W book for $1316. Seems legit. :D

Indeed! Don't buy it at that price! It will be available to non-kickstarter backers soonish.

It's helpful to have the book 'technically' be public while doing publisher thingies behind the scenes.

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.
