The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. We essentially digitally re-master the book.

Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.įor printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. 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. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching.

Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.įor PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Wyrd Valley Press will never use unmodified AI art in our products and, moving forward, until the laws are clearer and better defined to protect living artists from the many AI programs using their art to train on without their permission, WVP will not use AI-generated art in any future project after this one. Please note, the choice to use machine-learning-assisted art in this project was done to create a jarring, surreal, and dreamlike quality-much as our subconscious minds filter and process information by deconstructing and recombining information in our dreams when we sleep, utilizing AI art explicitly for this purpose was an intentional decision. Pan, His Majesty in Yellow contains a mixture of original art, stock art, AI-generated art (all of which was heavily edited in Photoshop by a human artist), public domain art (much of which was edited in Photoshop), and map assets by both an RPG cartographer (2-Minute Tabletop) and created using INKARNATE and Photoshop. Interview with the author, Wayne Robert, by Dave Townsend of Games with Dave: Review by Tzimiscedracul over at The Lonely DM: “It really truly looks beautiful … There's just a lot of cool things going on!” " It’s a rare delight when I get to check out a tabletop game setting that this fervently ignites the occult and esoteric side of my brain." The flavorful atmosphere, mixing Barrie’s original work with Greek mythology and Ambrose’s Carcosa is so cool that I would still recommend the book even if there were not stats for the Denizens."

This version is designed for use with the 5th edition of the world's most popular roleplaying game. Pan, His Majesty in Yellow is a fairy tale cosmic horror sandbox campaign setting that combines the lore of Peter Pan, Hastur, Neverland, and Carcosa into a strange and unique experience.
