This is a massive 357 page compilation of ”Lee’s Lists” that have been previously published individually, and together forms an excellent inspirational tool for GMs that are looking for plot and campaign ideas.
The lists come in a number of varieties – names (Japanese, Chinese Surnames, Roman, Internet Handles, Norse Weapon Names, etc.), historical and cultural color (Medieval Foods, Strange Pets, Fantasy Slurs, Medicinal Herbs and Their Uses, etc.), plot and story elements and events (Baffling Riddles, Campaign Inspiring Movies, Tavern Names, Nasty Surprises for a Starship Crew, Adventuring Motivations, Village Adventure Ideas, etc.), objects (Items Found in a Kitchen, Steampunk Inventions, Fine Art Items, etc.), character traits and types (Style Quirks, Fantasy NPCs, Fantasy Jerks, Memorable Villain Traits, etc.), and locations (Eerie Landmarks, Fantasy Villages, Genuine Imaginary Cities, etc.) Most lists are comprised of 100 entries, but some fall over or under that number (19th Century Occupations, for example, has 2452 unique entries!).
A handful of the lists are silly, and of very limited use (101 Dalmatians, 50 Shades of Gray, Excuses Not to Run Your Game This Week), but the majority of them are much more inspiring. Some, such as “10,000 Fantasy Quests,” consist of a set of tables of items to choose from (or roll on) to piece together a desired result. This is a very mixed bag of material, if I haven’t quite made that clear enough by now.
Caveats: There is no index, table of contents, or any sort of noticeable organization. Looking for material for a specific genre may involve browsing the entire PDF, and using the lists on the fly will likely involve doing a keyword search. The best bet might be to print out the lists you like best and keep them in a binder for reference.
At $30, the PDF is a bit on the pricey side, but there is a massive amount of information gathered here. While some of the lists are comprised of simple one or two word entries, some (such as 100 Swords and 25 Nasty Chemicals), have extensive history and/or background included. GMs who are looking for something to inspire fresh ideas for their new or ongoing campaigns will find a goldmine here that is well worth the cover price.

Thanks for the review William! One note, the PDF is bookmarked, so you won't be entirely lost when trying to hunt down a list. The concern is noted though, and I'll see about getting a table of contents in there and updated. |

A brilliant idea for an encounter when the GM wants to add something extra to a campaign, or even for those times when gamers drop over and want to play something on the spot. Each location includes a GM sheet with spaces to fill in details – Background, Key Locations, Encounters, and more, and thumbnails of the maps are reproduced on the in the corner for making notations. This is a fantastic idea for busy GMs who don’t have the time to build an entire encounter scenario for the upcoming game, or need just a bit of an inspiration boost.
The inclusion of maps in larger format for use in virtual table tops is a great bonus, and something that I hope will become more common with all RPG products in the future.

Seven full-page (7x10) floor sections for old school RPG battles, that can be cut and pasted into any configuration to create the exact dungeon you're looking for. These feature the same great old-school style art found in the other OSD products. The sheets include gray masonry tiles, dirt with small rubble/rocks (this section has small crosses rather than lines to outline the squares), light blue tiles (similar to the masonry tiles, these could work for ice or glass), sand/light earth (with crosses instead of lines), grass (with crosses), brown masonry tiles, and black and while checkered masonry tiles.
The colors and overall look of the tiles are great, and these work very well with the other products in OSD's line.

A great looking old-school styled set of ground tiles for outdoor battles. This set of 30 4x4 tiles includes grass, paths (in various configurations including curves and crossroads), stream sections (2 squares across), a bridge section, and sections to create wood or stone buildings (or possibly even a dungeon entrance – the stone sections match the dungeon tiles in their other sets).
A bonus page rounds out the set with beds, as well as crates, chests, and doors that match both the wood and stone floors (a nice touch). All are full color, and done in a style that is reminiscent of the classic RPG rulebooks. This is a great set of battle tiles for a reasonable price.

This is a great looking set of dungeon tiles that can create a wide variety of rooms and passageways in different sizes. Room sizes include 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, and 6x6, each with 1 to 4 exit variants, and the hallway sections (all of which are 2 squares wide) include four different lengths, two dead ends, a corner, and 3- and 4- way intersections. The artwork is excellent, reminiscent of the art found in classic RPG rulebooks, and matches their other products seamlessly. The rooms are featureless, so you will need to provide your own doors and other features (doors are available in some of OSD's other products).

This is a great looking set of rectangular dungeon rooms. The artwork is excellent, and reminiscent of the art found in classic RPG rulebooks. The sections feature plain gray tiled floors with cracks and shading. A wide variety of room sizes are provided – 2x3, 2x4, 3x4, 3x5, 3x6, 3x7, 3x8, 4x5, 4x6, 4x7, 4x8, 4x9, 5x6, 5x7, 5x8, 5x9, 6x7, 6x8, 6x9, 7x8, and 7x9. Each room size is presented in six configurations of one-square entrances/exits, allowing for a wide variety of arrangements (and some creative cutting and pasting could provide many more). The rooms are plain, so you will have to add your own doors and features (doors can be found in some of their other OSD products).
This product merges well with the other products in the OSD line, and it's a solid and versatile product for a very reasonable price.

On the down side, each page is covered in black from edge to edge. This would create a huge waste of printer ink to print portions that are not useful to the product, and discarded when the sections are cut out. The price of this product is very reasonable, but becomes less so due to this waste (printer ink is NOT cheap!).
I’d really like to see an updated version of these tiles with the black borders removed (at least to the edges of the square for each floor section), or possibly even provided as an alternate set of tiles, or as a PDF layer that can be selected (or deselected, as the case may be).

This is a great looking set of printable miniatures for fantasy adventure games. The artwork is excellent, and reminiscent of the art found in classic RPG rulebooks. The set contains a page of 20 heroes (fighters, rogues, mages, clerics, elves, a dwarf, and a druid) and three pages of monsters (ogres, goblins, giant spiders, zombies, orcs, skeletons, giant rats, a minotaur, wolves, and an evil wizard). All figures have an arrow on their base to designate their facing, and duplicate figures (such as the goblins, rats, skeletons, and spiders) are clearly numbered for ease of reference during combat.
As with their other products, this one has a printing issue – the pages are completely black all the way to the edge, which serves no real purpose, and only wastes black printer ink. (The figures are all contained in white panels, as seen on the cover.) I’d really like to see an updated version of this product that eliminates this waste.
All in all, this is a solid set of paper miniatures for the price.

This is a great looking set of dungeon tiles that can create a wide variety of cavern passageways, stairways, and chambers. The artwork is excellent, and reminiscent of the art found in classic RPG rulebooks. In particular, I like how the tiles have tiny crosses to designate spaces instead of solid lines, which I feel would take away from the appearance of the cavern.
This set suffers from two problems, one major and one minor. The floor sections suffer from a bit of repetition in the pattern of cracks and other features. I always like to see more variety in small details like that, but this wouldn’t prevent me from using these tiles for a dungeon crawl.
The major issue is in printing. Each page is covered in black from edge to edge, with the logo and product name at the top and bottom in large, full-color letters. This would create a huge waste of printer ink to print portions that are not useful to the product. The price of this product is very reasonable, but becomes less so due to this waste (printer ink is NOT cheap!).

This is a great looking set of dungeon tiles that can create a wide variety of dungeon passageways, staircases, and chambers, that also includes wooden doors and sections to connect the dungeon areas to cavern areas (which match up nicely with their cavern products).

This is a great looking set of dungeon tiles that can create a wide variety of spiderwebbed cavern passageways and dungeon rooms and hallways. The artwork is excellent, and reminiscent of the art found in classic RPG rulebooks. In particular, I like how the cavern areas use tiny crosses to designate spaces instead of solid lines, which I feel would take away from the appearance of the cavern.
