Beautiful Anomalies (Core Rulebook)

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Welcome to the game of exploration on the razor's edge of time.

Explore...

...all of space and time, every grand event and poignant moment, every bloody battle and every perfect Christmas. You have the privilege of seeing them all, even changing one into another.

You’ll meet amazing people along the way. People in trouble. People in need. People whose stories are going to have very sad ends.

Will you help them? Can you? Will you follow the one good and proper rule in all the cosmos? That one simple, impossible, all-important commandment...

...CARE

Beautiful Anomalies features...

  • A unique cosmology for adventures in space and time, with themes of exploration and caring, plus an aesthetic of sufficiently advanced theology.
  • Frightening and strange factions, from the angelic Watchers who oversee the Akashic Blockchain, the organ-harvesting Kirugons in their dark matter bodies, and It, the wish-granting Ultimate Order that exists outside time.
  • A solid, detailed framework for building adventures based on Dooms, Locals, Villains, and Minions, each with their own unique character sheet. These sheets are supplemented by a detailed, blow-by-blow GM chapter written from the direct perspective of author and GM Rose Bailey.
  • An innovative system based on the Plot Deck, which both resolves conflicts and allows the players to introduce setting-appropriate twists.
  • ...and much more.

Can you say a little bit about the system? It states "other unique systems" in the info, but what does that mean? I find the setting interesting, but I'm tired of people re-inventing the wheel and making things more complex than necessary; and I know my group wants at least a little crunch in their rules.

This game looks interesting, but these days I play exclusively through play-by-post (i.e., on on-line forums). The mention of the plot deck makes me wonder if this is something that could be played in PbP or if it needs to be played F2F (face-to-face). Thanks.

The description of the game sounds very interesting but it's just so brief. Could you possibly go more in-depth into what the stories are, what the characters are and what the setting is about?

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.
