Infinite Futures Free Preview
Publisher: Avalon Game Company
by Jim C. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 11/29/2010 23:14:44

Pathfinder compatible? Well, not really, as a quick look at the table on page 6 will show. This is a separate branch of the well-known family tree and I can only guess that Avalon thought that would sell better than "d20 system". Art by Poser, editing by .. from the title page, no-one, though spelling and missed find-replace work is only mildly distracting here. It looks reasonable for third-party work if a new D&D/SF mashup with a medium-light learning curve is what you want, not a standout as SF systems go generally. Free download or not, it should include the OGL.

Troll in the Corner's Magical Emporium: Mirkmoot's Wondrous Waterater [PFRPG]

For a joke product, it's actually a fairly useful item and encounter idea.

Daring Tales of the Space Lanes: Galaxy Guide Sector #01
Publisher: Triple Ace Games
by Jim C. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 11/11/2010 02:41:36

A GM might find many of these one-page descriptions useful as starting points to build up an interesting planetary location, or for a quick visit. It's a squishy-soft kind of SF, but unlike some other products, doesn't descend into sheer babbling.

It would have been good for a setting supplement to include a few maps, landscapes or illustrations of local oddities, and also a few game statistics for unique local conditions, creatures or characters, but for the price asked, it is what it is.

Modern Dispatch (#83): Dramatis Personae: Roaring 20?s
Publisher: RPG Objects
by Jim C. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 11/10/2010 21:46:07

A well-considered selection of characters to describe. The Prophecy rules look very interesting, though raise some minor mechanical questions for me.

Fantasy Folio: Masterwork Qualities
Publisher: Big Finger Games
by Jim C. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 11/04/2010 00:27:37

I like the idea of this in general terms. The examples are well described. Costs seem seriously off and arbitrary between themselves too.

World Building Library:The Life of Charlemagne
Publisher: Expeditious Retreat Press

Date Added: 10/30/2010 23:42:08

Contents seem reasonably well known. Multiple typos are a bit of a let-down.

Good descriptions and progression between the different tiers. I found the minimum-price ones especially interesting.

HELLAS: Map of the Known Worlds
Publisher: Khepera Publishing
by Jim C. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 10/28/2010 07:52:23

It's mostly a map of the Mediterranean, stylised and overlaid with a hex grid and some star graphics, but having said that, it looks very nice and makes imaginative use of its sources.

The Derelict Ship of the Ancients
Publisher: Nomadic Delirium Press
by Jim C. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 10/28/2010 07:43:27

Interesting background, good level of detail to run these encounters and let the players know what they find. The ship still has plenty of active systems and the Ancients are not all that impressive, so it's more The Mostly Intact Ship of Those Other Guys. Maps seem to be poor digital photos of some pencil line drawings, which look bad and are barely readable, though to be fair, it's only been a few weeks since I saw a similar level of effort from a much better-known publisher.

Daring Tales of Chivalry #03: The Danbury Curse
Publisher: Triple Ace Games
by Jim C. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 10/17/2010 18:56:13

A straightforward and well-presented classic faerie incursion (the PCs' likely allies are also not without their perils and diverging motivations) leading to a ferocious combat.

JG Traveller- Starships and Spacecraft v1.1
Publisher: Far Future Enterprises - Traveller
by Jim C. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 10/16/2010 03:17:47

It's a really nice expansion of the standard Traveller vessels and vehicles, with deck plans, two pages of scale drawings (added for this PDF) showing all their comparative sizes and various other details.

Combat Advantage #18
Publisher: Broken Ruler Games
by Jim C. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 10/14/2010 22:26:34

Worth the recent struggle to download, with some impressive class variants (still needing a small amount of clean-up for a few powers) and short adventures.

The Dordogne Zodiac
Publisher: Hero Games
by Jim C. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 10/14/2010 22:14:28

The author makes much of his indie one-man-band status in the text, but has actually presented a very polished pulp adventure against a Lovecraftian pre-human cult, with a series of suggestions for ongoing adventures. Good-looking and clear maps and handouts should be a big help to a GM.

Trail of Cthulhu: Castle Bravo
Publisher: Pelgrane Press
by Jim C. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 10/06/2010 17:51:54

Making the investigators deal with '50s ideas of nuclear safety, before any Mythos horrors show up, appeals to me. Some reinterpretation that, I suppose, is reasonable but not compelling and a few scenes that have the potential just to become silly. 3.5 stars, mostly for the setting.
