Political Schemes: About The Rough and the Smooth

Daring heroics don't comes easily to a weak, arthritic mole rat. Luckily, Drolen is blessed — or some might say cursed — with an unerring instinct for human politics. Drolen is called to the city of Orem to groom young Nua for the throne left open by her father's untimely death. But his last protégé, the deposed mole rat king, may destroy the city first.

The Rough and the Smooth is a novel by award-winning game designer Robin D. Laws, of Feng ShuiThe Dying Earth, and Heroquest fame.

The book is available in PDF. Although it is out of print, a limited number of print copies are still available.

Excerpt

"As the arrows rained ineffectually around him and around the King he had helped both to enthrone and to depose, Drolen was grateful that his people had poor eyesight and were therefore terrible with missile weapons. He had of course constructed his plans around this essential fact.

Ahead, behind, and to the left and right the arrows thunked."

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.
