Lost Stories

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Everywhere you go in society, just beyond the corner of your eyes and under every step you walk are tendrils of the past, of futures that never happened, of broken things, and of things not born. They’re all lost stories. Some of them can nearly push themselves into reality. Writers, artists, musicians, lovers, and in thin spaces are all rich opportunity for a Lost Story to become real in one way or another. Don’t you want to get your sheepskin? Don’t you want to finally be a real story? That’s what all the other Lost Stories call it “Getting the Sheepskin”. The achievement of no longer being a Lost story and instead becoming real.

Note from the creator: I didn't think the rules set would be made publicly available without the proofs of the cards. Feel free to download the rules set. Based on estimates for the printing and shipping of the cards for proofing, I won't see the proof run until early to mid January. It should be fully ready for you to buy printed and ready to go in late January. Thanks for your patience.

The idea behind this game, is that you are a Lost Story, and rather than fading from existence forever you want to become real. To become real, you need to use your Weight to push through into a Person's consciousness and getting your Sheepskin (a euphemism used by Lost Stories to talk about graduating to being a 'real story').

This is a simple, family-friendly game for 2+ players aged 9+ years (mostly because younger than that age I expect children won't get the themes of the game).

Included: The Included PDF is the rules set for the game, it's a free download.

Additional Equipment is needed to play:

  • A number of 6- or 10- sided dice
  • A number of beads, or counters

Hey David,
I didn't realise it would part publish the project before the print proofs were through. It won't let me put up the Cards for Printing until I've checked those prints. Based on estimates of time, the proofs will be getting to me sometime around early January. When they're ready I will definitely be sending out a notification about the actual cards.
Regards,
Andrew

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.
