Reprinting the 11 most popular articles of 2017 at Tales of a GM.


Tales of a GM ran from August 2013 to December 2017. By the end, this meant bloated archives which were hard to access as the blog had well over 1,000 posts. Trawling through so many articles was no simple task, no matter how good my index.

Thus, for the last few years, I produced a pdf of the most popular pages on the blog. According to the statistics, the eleven articles reprinted here were the most popular posts on Tales of a GM for 2017.


This pdf features:

  • The eleven most popular posts from 2017:
    • Why I Love HeroQuest 2
    • 40 Top Sites for Storytelling GMs,

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.
