Is there any chance of getting a ctrl+f searchable version of the PDF?

I know there are tools that can create searchable PDFs out of non-searchable ones, but they are finnicky, success rate depends on fonts used, background colors, readability, etc.
It's a bit of a crap shot in my experience. And I don't really want to spend the money just to check if it would succeed or not.

Anyway, I think that searchability is the primary function of PDFs and the reason I generally prefer them over physical rule books in terms of usability. It's just a matter of finding what you are looking for in a matter of seconds vs a matter of minutes.
Especially if there is no index!

I would like to see that happen, but ultimately that is outside my control and up to the publisher. I'll keep suggesting it.

Is it just me or does the print in my hardcover seem a bit washed out...

I was surprised at the low contrast and when watching Pundits latest video the print in his soft cover seems much darker:




I Think I ought to send the pics to Drivethru customer service and get another copy sent, or do I need to get my eyes checked?

The top image does seem rather light to me.

Is that premium, or just color?

Holy shit!  Yeah you better check on them.  That book is 100+ on premium.

I got Premium HC and yeah the ink looks grey instead of black. It's legible but not very contrast-y and I have 49 year old eyes so it's bit unfortunate.  $88 + shipping.

If I remember to charge my phone I'll take a picture of it in a couple of hours. I admit I was hoping for darker ink.

Unfortunately, from what the Publisher tells me, Drivethru (or Lightning Source, which I guess does Dtrpg's printing) change printers recently and the result is not very good, particularly at color. Compared to the Amazon edition, the DTRPG printing of Invisible College has much more subdued color, much to my publisher's annoyance.

So I don't think that its your copy. Looking at my DTRPG copy, the same pages look about the same. It's hugely frustrating, because of course while the book is still legible it's far from the ideal we wanted.

I don't think DTRPG will be able to do much about it, but if anyone wants to contact my publisher (not that they'll be likely to be able to do anything about it anytime soon) they can contact Well of Urd press at wellofurd@comteck.com

The publisher has withdrawn the Premium HC from Drivethru, as they're completely unsatisfied with the printing.

The hope is that we'll be able to get a Color HC from Amazon, but they currently don't have that available to createspace publishers, though it's apparently being currently done as a pilot project and should hopefully eventually be available.

I'm very sorry to anyone who got the Premium Color HC from DTRPG and wasn't satisfied with it. I'm not sure what the publisher can do about it, though.
At least, though I'd find it small comfort myself, you have a collector's item now!

Just a #shorts, just got it less than 1/2 hour ago.

Thanks! Very appreciated!

No problem. More detailed review incoming, just need to have a read.

I look forward to it.

As am I! Please let us know here when you've done it.

So invisible colleges are a real thing, referring to basically independent circles of scholars who share materials. Is the concept of heroic invisible colleges who fight monsters and wicked sorcerers and try to cultivate knowledge for humanity a pre-existing thing in occultism or is that an invention of this game?
