Excellent product that give pages worth of generalized advice for developing the themes and direction of your own steampunk campaign. Lots of concrete examples of steampunk weapons, prosthetics, devices, monsters, and vehicles. This is by far a superior document to the previous published "Mechamancy 1" and "Mechamancy 2".

An good document for anyone who wants to incorporate some steampunk spells and steam punk device crafting into their campaign. It also offers some ideas for using different historical periods for your fantasy campaign and provides some exotic character equipment. The artwork is fair through out.

I didn't like the contruct monsters presented much and the artwork was truely atrocious. The rules for crafting mechanical familiars, mechanical implants, and the exotic material section were the high points of this document.

I recently finished running this adventure for my tabletop group, and we all loved it! This adventure series has been one of the first to make me look forward to prepping for our bi-weekly game, just because it has so many twists to it. In most adventures, I can guess what the characters are going to do (gaming together for 6 or 7 years will do that for you), but not so with this one! There are just so many shades of gray.
I've gotten favorable reactions from my players as well. To paraphrase one, this adventure does a good job of making low level characters feel like they are really a part of something bigger than themselves.
All in all, a very fun, well thought out beginning to what promises to be an excellent series! ... [read full review]

I am running this game along with the Fantasy Grounds online gaming tool and Enworld WOTBS module conversion for FG and I have to say the game is fun. I highly recommend before the start of each session to go over what has passed and the general set of names and places the players have run into. It is very important to help them understand the overall goal.
Good stuff

As I mentioned in my review of the prequel to this PDF, if you like "gamer humor", snigger at Murphy's Rules, Knights of the Dinner Table, Dork Tower, Grimtooth's Traps, and all that stuff, then you'll like this humorous, often low-brow supplement. If you're like my wife and roll your eyes at that kind of thing, you won't. For my part, I roffled and lolled and did all that stuff the kids text about these days. So I give it high marks.

This supplement presents a magic system so different from the normal one that it stands alone, permitting magical practicioners to concoct their own spells from various concepts - the elements, good, evil, and so on. This building-block style has been used in many other successful games, including Mage: The Ascencion, Changeling: The Dreaming, and Ars Magica.
The high quality of EN Publishing's work shines through. This version is the original version of the Elements - a revised version came out later that cleaned up several aspects of the rules and took it still further. That product's improvement, however, was incremental to this excellent start.
The PDF is well laid out and uses bookmarks. ... [read full review]

If you are a dweeb who laughs at gamer humor, like I am, you will roffle and laffo and loll when you read this supplement. If you sorta roll your eyes at Grimtooth's and Murphy's Rules and Knights of the Dinner Table, LIKE MY WIFE DOES then probably you should give it a pass.
But I roffled, so I give it a high score.

Four-Color To Fantasy was one of the first 3.0 superhero add-ons that came out, and to some degree it shows. There are some clunky bits in here, and some things that don't really add up, but there are a lot of grand ideas that make it worth a gamer's while:
* The fantasy superheroes setting, while done less explicitly in games like Exalted, is both fun and compelling. The sample characters do a good job of getting across a superhero tone with fantasy trappings.
* The very flexible "hero" class that is used to funnel the normal level-based advancement of D20 into a point-buy system for powers and so on is quite effective. There is good advice on game balance as well.
* Because it's a D20 fantasy game, magic is implemented a lot more thoroughly than it is in many other superhero settings, which treat it, systematically, as just another way to have superpowered things happen.
Although it's perhaps been surpassed since the time it came out (and itself has several editions afte ... [read full review]

Personally, I thought this product was a really cool idea. It's basically print-it-yourself Monopoly money for use in a fantasy RPG. In my last 3.5e campaign, I packaged monetary treasure in sealed envelopes using this product, and the players enjoyed ripping the envelopes open to find out what they'd found. However, the players didn't much get into keeping the slips or spending the loot; I found they were likely to count up the value, write it on their character sheet, and then hand back the money. That was kind of a lot of work for a less satisfying result. My group didn't really take to this product, then. But yours might! ... [read full review]

I've moved on to 4e since purchasing this product, but when I was running a 3.5e campaign, I found it invaluable. Whenever I needed villagers, mooks, or what have you--NPCs on whom I didn't want to spend my own time--I pulled out "Everyone Else" and usually found exactly what I needed. If the product didn't offer a perfect fit, it only took a few minutes to "skin" one of the NPCs presented herein. The bottom line: this book is a real time-saver and well worth the price for 3.5e DMs.
