Ballroom Ugly (The Bloodless Bloodsport of the Ball)

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $2.50

You have been invited to your first ball, a grand gala at that! This is your chance to make a good first impression as an independent person and keep the invites coming. Will you impress upon the host and special guests of your fine graces? Or will you prove a boor, shamed from the dance by ill-regard?

But this is no lax party! Your actions here and the connections you make will determine your fortunes and well-being in the coming year. Will you have the sensibilities to make amends and forge deals with quiet grace? Or will you flub your opportunities, creating disruptions and offending other guests?

Put on your finest wear and finest smile! It is time to make your true debut and shine! 

Based on a condensed hack of the Motif Game Framework, Ballroom Ugly will support single player, duo, and regular group play.

The 3 attack moves confuse me. Do they describe how they PC suffers social damage or inflicts it? When do you roll these 3 moves? The game looks promising btw.

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.
