In Boston, Massachusetts, an old ham radio, tuned to a dead channel, broadcasts messages from beyond the grave.

In a remote rainforest near the headwaters of the Amazon, a shaman makes contact with an alien reality. 

In a library in Seven Dogs, Alaska, a mysterious codex holds the secrets of creation.

Over the last few centuries, mankind’s understanding of the universe has grown dramatically. From classical physics to quantum physics, the blurry picture of creation has come more into focus. However, there are still things in the world that remain mysterious and unexplained. Alien abductions, ghostly apparitions, Spontaneous Human Combustion and other unusual phenomena continue to exert a stranglehold on human curiosity. Most of these phenomena are hoaxes, products of overactive imaginations, or explainable by modern science. However, there are exceptions, things that contradict mankind’s understanding of how the universe works. But what if these things are not really unexplainable? What if humanity is only viewing these events from a limited and flawed perspective? Perhaps a simple, yet invisible, explanation underlies all such phenomena.

Aletheia is a role-playing game about the weirdness at reality’s fringe. Players investigate the anomalous phenomena and impossible occurrences that defy logic and commonsense. This includes conducting eyewitness interviews, on-site analysis and observation, and forming hypotheses – all in an attempt to gain a more complete picture of reality.

Introduction Aletheia is an extremely difficult book to write a review for because, while it is an RPG, it is one with an extremely defined, extremely tight, extremely focussed setting which amounts to a campaign idea with its own rules, rather than as [...]

The concept of a group of people investigating contemporary strangeness and paranormal events is not a new one, but this book provides a coherent and well-considered approach to what is going on that makes it worth investigating. It begins with [...]

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.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
