Sentinels of Echo City Deluxe Edition

ADD TO WISHLIST >

A few years ago, I had the wonderful blessing of receiving support through Kickstarter for a game called Saga of the Splintered Realm. In the process of building that game, I realized that the same fundamental system could be used for supers gaming, and the first edition of this game was born. In the intervening three years, the game has had a chance to simmer and grow. In this edition, I’ve merged the best of the game and its handful of supplements with some simpler mechanics, a streamlined approach, and a clear visual identity. I hope you have as much fun playing as I have.

This book contains everything you need for extended play: character generation and advancement rules, a starter game setting (Echo City), an overview of the larger game world, and a roster of creatures, other characters, heroes, and villains of the game world.

This revised and expanded game includes over 130 different powers and abilities, a complete game setting, several adventures, and dozens of fully-realized characters. It features a slimmed-down mechanic for crisp, fast-paced play that is both familiar and innovative.

Here is what people had to say about Sentinels of Echo City’s first edition:

“If TSR's B/X D&D procreated with their Marvel Super Heroes game, you'd get the first genetic version of SoEC... after that though you'd need to inject it with mutagen, expose it to gamma radiation, let it be bitten by a lab arachnid and then sprinkle it with cosmic dust.”

“This is a fast, flexible, easily understood game that takes the B/X rules and uses them as a basis to make something that feels truly original and very well suited to the superhero genre. There's a good balance between old school mechanics and new school flexibility (or just a new school approach to the old school flexibility that was always there).”

“…this game has the refreshing mix of old and new school gaming flavor that makes for an RPG that I really want to get a chance to play.”

Trading Traits says that you can pick a Trait you want, but the character creation example shows the player rolling randomly for the Trait. Which is it?

Either. You are allowed to roll or pick. Character creation is as random or structured as you want it to be (or as your GM allows).

Do you give discounts on the pdf for folks who buy the print on Lulu?

I did not do that for this edition... that was a special I ran on first edition. It turned out to be a more of a logistics headache than I thought it would be for even the few people who took advantage of it.

I had two pdf files to download and they appear to be identical. Any reason for this?

There was a typo on the first page of one. They are identical otherwise. I am working on an update (I have about a dozen small corrections to make). I will update the file in a few days and get rid of the duplication.

Lee,
Thanks for the support! This game combines the original core rules, the Absolute Power book, the first Echo City Team Up, includes some updates to traits, and has a streamlined mechanic. I cut from 12 levels to 6, got rid of level modifier altogether, and cleaned up the way that checks work throughout. I also added quite a bit of background setting material for the world in and around Echo City. The heart of the game works the same way, but the presentation and organization are upgraded.

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.
