This is a good-sized, color PDF document offered free of charge with, as the title states, ten maps. To begin, mapmaking and place names are not my strong suit and I have difficulty coming up with them. Products that help spur my creativity for adventures and stories are welcome. Unfortunately, this product wasn't very useful to me and requiring a color printer was something that disappointed me. I would've liked to have used it, but it seemed rather amateurish. My own map creations are so fanciful as to be bizarre, but this was just not down as to have been useful. I had to delete it altogher. However, it is provided free of charge. Not to offend the designer or design team, in good faith I cannot recommend this product. I will give it "Two Stars"/"Unacceptable" simply because it's free of charge. Otherwise it would be "One Star"/"Bad".

This is a good-sized PDF document offered free of charge. To begin, I am not a good mapmaker and the ones I have made are obvious even to me that they are too fanciful as to verge on the bizarre. All too often I want to make an unlikely city-state on the "Island in the Stream" that Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers sang about. Or the dwaven-crafted volcano that magically spews forth water instead of lava to encircle a city a la Constantinople complete with Byzantine sea-gates. Even children with an outstanding imagination would be hard-pressed to accept my world! This handy product takes the guesswork out of mapmaking and gives you down-to-earth principles that can be readily applied by any fantasist. Also, in black & white, you aren't going to need a color printer or require a color printer because of odd shading. One caveat, it does have some darkness to it that will require a fair amount of black printer ink. Helpful, useful, easy and ready to use, this takes the cake. It's also provided free of charge, so it's a true bonus like no other. I don't regularly hand out "Five Stars"/"Exceeds Expectations", but this deserves it hands down. Highly recommended; highest marks.

This is a one-page PDF document with some shading offered free of charge. To begin, I have difficulty conjuring place names for use in my adventures and stories. This offering will definitely help me use my own creativity. One caveat, there is shading as each name is in a what I'd call a "spreadsheet" format and might print-out in either blue (on a color printer) or maybe too dark (on a black & white printer), so see if you can adjust the setting in a "preview" before printing. Provided free of charge and on one page, this is an offering that can't be refused and is a true bonus. I don't hand out "Five Star"/"Exceeds Expectations" with regularity, but this document deserves it hands down. Highly recommended; high marks.

This is a good-sized PDF document offered free of charge, and usefully in black&white for easy printing. To begin, sometimes I have difficulty conjuring enough pertinent ideas of what a civilized area (i. e., city) should be like. Sure there are places like temples, inns, taverns, shops, and perhaps governmental keeps and guards at the gates, but surely there's more. That's were this handy document steps in to spur my creativity for adventures and stories. I must honestly admit that I haven't read this document in total, but what I have read has been more than useful. Given that it's provided free of charge, it is a super bonus. I would only rarely rate something with "Five Stars"/"Exceeds Expectations", but this definitely deserves it. Recommended; high marks.

This is a color PDF document offered free of charge. To begin, I like maps and place names to help spur my own creativity in adventures and stories. "Aihrde" presumably relates to a fantasy universe given more depth and detail in a handbook. This then would be a supplement to that system. Several other maps of Aihrde are also offered for free. In my other reviews I stated that I was disappointed with maps of Aihrde. Sadly, this map of "human migration" from its title was very unhelpful. It's only use, in my opinion, would be for someone using the Aihrde system. It is provided free of charge, and that fact alone usually rates the product "Two Stars." Without offense to the author or design team, I can only in good faith give it "One Star"/Bad. I cannot suggest it be downloaded.

This is a color map PDF document offered free of charge. To begin, I enjoy maps and place names because that isn't my strong suit. Usually seeing the work of others helps spur my own creativity for adventures and stories. It's likely to assume "Aihrde" refers to a fantasy universe given more depth and detail in a handbook. This then would be a map supplement for that setting. There also are a small handful of other maps of Aihrde offered for free. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with this product since it wouldn't help me unless I was going to use the Aihrde setting; it's of little use otherwise. However, it is provided free of charge.

This is a brief, color PDF document offered free of charge. If I recall, Aihrde is a fantasy universe probably detailed in more depth and detail through a handbook. This would therefore be a supplement to that system and a foretaste of what and how it is. Personally, I love maps and place names as it spurs my own creativity in adventures and stories. But I didn't find this map/document to be very useful. That being said, it may help someone using the Aihrde setting. I'd said I was disappointed and couldn't recommend it, other than the fact that it is provided free of charge.

This is a fair-sized PDF document offered free of charge. I do not remember if "Porphyra" refers to a certain fantasy universe. Without spoiling the experience, the "Godmetals" of the title are drawn from divine essences. This seemed intriguing, but I became disillusioned. The names (one was related to "stone", therefore not a "metal" in my mind) and characteristics (proving player character tactical combat benefits) didn't fit with the kind of adventures and stories I would like to create. I attempted to use write a small list of the names/characteristics to spur my own creativity, but stopped because this simply wasn't useful to me in any fashion. However, it is provided free of charge.

This is a good-sized document offered free of charge. I'll begin by saying that I have difficulty in coming up with names. I found this offering to be very helpful in that it detailed, as the name says, noble houses in the Caladon setting. I don't recall all this author's or design teams' work, but they offer a small handful of other free PDF documents. I am happily satified with this product and will use it to spur my own creativity in future adventures and stories. It is provided free of charge, therefore a true bonus. High marks.

This is a small PDF document offered free of charge. To begin, I love maps and place names because that isn't my strong suit. I will certainly make use of this map document to spur my own creativity in future adventures and stories. I highly recommend this offering, and it is provided free of charge. A true bonus.

This is a very brief PDF document offered free. I am almost always "stuck" when it comes to names, and tend to collect names I find interesting to use in my adventures and stories. I was disappointed with this offering in that some items seemed unhelpful in their use (i.e., "Potion of Acid"). However, this work is offered free of charge.

This is a brief PDF document, provided free, about a subset or subrace of classic elves. From the title, I was hoping the two subraces would be rather more shady and closer to "dark elves" or "drow". I did not find this to be the case. Without spoiling the experience, one subrace was more used to civilized and cultured living. To me, this didn't seem "bad" per se, but just not as expected of elves. Classic elves live among trees and all that, but even Tolkienesque elves had at least small clusters of civilization (I am thinking more along the Mithlond, the "Grey Havens" as seen at the end of the recent film RETURN OF THE KING. Overall, I was disappointed. However, this document is offered free of charge.

This brief PDF document introduces a new race of beings related to standard elves. It is a forerunner to a broader treatment on elves by the same author (or design team) set in their unique universe (named "Uteria"). Although creative and a novel concept, I was rather less than impressed. However, it is provided free and is a glimpse into Uteria and their writing style. I am more interested in Uteria itself and what it will have to offer. --MMT
