A Gaslamp Fantasy – With Adventure, Romance, and Mad Science!

The Girl Genius Sourcebook and Roleplaying Game brings the world of Phil and Kaja Foglio's Girl Genius comics and graphic novels to your gaming table. Its contents – lavishly illustrated in color, by none other than the Foglios! – include:

  • A detailed description of the setting and its history, drawing upon all available sources . . . and compiled with input from the creators themselves, so these pages reveal some secrets for the first time!
  • A complete roleplaying game covering character creation, equipment, combat, and dramatic situations and tasks – including inventing, of course! To play, just add paper, pencils, and six-sided dice.
  • Biographies and character stats for all the major characters and many minor ones, plus notes on supporting cast.
  • Game stats for a wide range of clanks, constructs, and other creatures unique to Girl Genius.
  • Tons of helpful advice on establishing mood, accurately emulating the comics, and running and playing the game.
  • An all-new eight-page Girl Genius comic!

The Girl Genius Sourcebook and Roleplaying Game is a complete, stand-alone game Powered by GURPS. While compatible with GURPS Fourth Edition, that game is not required.

This is now the final version of the PDF – it is the same as the book now at print, and includes the eight-page comic and PDF bookmarking.

I don’t see an updated PDF, so I’m wondering when the publishers will get around to optimizing this file? I’m accustomed to SJG digital publications loading and rendering quickly, with clickable TOC to navigate to main sections of the book. This file is nearly unusable.

Could you please optimize this PDF/compress it? It navigates awful slow on my 2 year old gaming machine. Lack of bookmarks is a serious ding on quality too.

Give me the Kickstarter hardcover+pdf combo and we are in business.

Oh??? It's finally here! Is there a timeframe for this Kickstarter? (I can't really justify a 30$ PDF right now, but here's my credentials for absolutely being down to back a KS campaign for a hardcover: Owns the entire comic print run, the novelizations, am pledged for a physical copy of the upcoming game on Switch, possesses an Agatha cosplay, and am turning into a bit of a tabletop gaming fiend)

I'd be pretty likely to back the Kickstarter (I've bought virtually everything else ever published of GG), but paying $30 for a PDF, without any guarantee that that money would be applied towards the hardcover, comes across as pretty sketchy...

$30 for a pdf of a playtest rulebook?
This is just one of the many ways that SJG isn't keeping up with the times.

This is not a playtest. This is prerelease before we go to Kickstarter to find out if there's enough interest for a hardcover.

Tomayto, tomahto.
You now how you find out if there's interest for a hardcover version on Kickstarter?
You launch the Kickstarter.
Then when the Kickstarter goes belly-up because your rpg design has stagnated for decades, you release the pdf or print on demand copy of the game.

I'm sitting here holding off pressing the buy button for similar reasons. I definitely want this; but I'm thinking I'd prefer a pdf+hardcover combo. And without knowing anything about the kickstarter, I'm just going to wait till I see what's happening :)

I'm in the same boat as Franko F, I'd be happy to buy a hardcover book with a pdf add-on. Not as interested in going the other way. I've purchased every Girl Genius book through Kickstarters and quite a few SJG items the same way. I know it's not the same as handing you money up front but this is my expression of interest in the project.

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.
