What is FlexTale?

ADD TO WISHLIST >

FlexTale™ is an attempt to make roleplaying game adventure content dynamic and interesting.  A module created using FlexTale is different each time it is run.  Treasure, monsters, plot activities, NPC backstories and character arcs, and various actions and plot elements can all occur differently.

Simple, easy-to-understand spins on well-established conventions are used to make all of the following possible:

  • Differences in probabilities for individual outcomes.
  • Scalable” monsters and rewards that more appropriately match the level and power of the PCs.
  • Proportional rewards, measured against the strength of a relationship or other conditions.
  • Circumstantial content, restricted to certain conditions or prerequisites.

Differences can occur using the roll of dice, or the GM can simply choose the content that s/he prefers or feels would be most engaging to the play group.

FlexTale is a pen-and-paper gaming technology that is used to power all games from Infinium Game Studio, including the upcoming Dark Obelisk: Berinncorte, a massive city-based adventure and the first component in an ongoing Adventure Path.

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.
