DriveThruRPG är samma företag som RPGnow, och DMsguild (tidigare DNDClassics ). De har samma inventering och du kan logga in till antingen med samma konto. Såvitt jag vet är DM: s guild den enda WoTC-sponsrade webbplatsen som säljer PDF-klassiker.
I början av 2016 skickade DM: s Guild en begäran om skanning och remastering av några klassiker . Från inlägget:
To that end, together with Wizards of the Coast, we have been digitally re-mastering hundreds of classic D&D titles and offering them through DriveThru and DMSGuild.com. We still have about 600 more classic D&D titles to go, and we need the help of D&D fans to get them all.
Det ursprungliga inlägget är inte längre tillgängligt, men arkivlänken ovan kan fortfarande svara på några av dina frågor. Till exempel skannas lock och lådor på 24-bitars djup och 300 dpi, medan interiörer vid 8-bitars djup och 300 dpi.
I själva verket är ditt antagande spot-on och vi pratar om högupplösta bilder av originalutskrifter.
Medan du surfar på en produkt i DMsGuild finns en fält på höger sida som innehåller Produktinformation . Under "Format" ska du se antingen: Skannade bilder eller Original elektroniskt format .
När du klickar på ikonen info visas följande:
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.
