Instant Antagonist: The Selfish Succubus
by Jason Corley [Featured Reviewer]
Publisher: Flames Rising Press
Date Added: 11/20/2009 11:35:54
Instant Antagonist: The Selfish Succubus Full disclosure: I am friends with Jess Hartley, the author of this supplement. This is the first Instant Antagonist supplement from Flames Rising Press. It is intended to be used in any modern supernatural/horror game. There's a brief introduction to what the IA line is about, then a one and a half page story about (one version of?) the succubus. The next few pages are a physical and social description of the succubus and how she interacts with typical situations. There's an interesting but short summary of her "mind, body and spirit" which is meant to be used to translate her into the systems of your chosen game. The supplement concludes with three possible origins for the succubus as well as several story hooks. The strength of the supplement is the detailed examination of how the character interacts with people and situations. However, the main weakness of the supplement is that there isn't enough of this examination. For example, the character's behavior at part...

RDP: A Touch of Evil, Volume 2: Hobgoblins
by Richard Olcott
Publisher: Reality Deviant Publications
Date Added: 11/20/2009 06:13:03
RDP: A Touch of Evil, Volume 2: Hobgoblins A rich and varied history on a much underutilized and underappreciated humanoid, IMHO. There is ample information on the hobgoblin culture itself, as well on the individual hobgoblin NPCs. Each NPC has stats, tactics, suggestions on campaign use, history, and additional level progressions stats for medium and high-level campaigns. RDP also leaves little notes blocks in each section for you to write in your campaign-specific details and the NPC's history in your world. There are 6 very different NPCs with varying levels of detail. The Hobgoblin mercenary commander is especially detailed with 4 pages of history and an appendix exclusively devoted to his mercenary legion. With stats for the different troop types and leaders under his command, as well as tactics, organization, and units of note, he is bound to be a major player in your campaign....

Mansions and Manors Floorplans
by Chip Dunning
Publisher: Darkfuries Publishing
Date Added: 11/19/2009 22:24:17
Mansions and Manors Floorplans Even in 2002 the graphics were simplistic and poor - they have not aged well. This makes the price a very poor reflection upon the use and quality of the product. Somewhere between $1.00 and $1.50 would be better suited for these graphics. The layout themselves are decent, if rather uninspired. At least they manage to cover the basis for a traditional "fantasy" manor house. If the price was a better reflection of the quality then I would rate this product as 4 stars, but given the high price for such low quality I cannot see giving it that rating....

FREE Undead sampler

FREE Undead sampler An excellent option for 4e. Cannon fodder minions are rarely worth the purchase of a plastic or metal miniature.

Huxtropy
by Davin Perry
Publisher: Silent7Games
Date Added: 11/19/2009 21:57:06
Huxtropy This was something I was already interested in creating for my steampunk campaign so this saved me valuable time. I changed the damage to necrotic, poison, radiant, and psychic keywords since I didn't like the "elemental" aspect, but I appreciated everything else. As a class option, it is more about high fantasy flavor rather than perfectly balanced game mechanics.

Steam & Steel: A Guide to Fantasy Steamworks
by Davin Perry
Publisher: EN Publishing
Date Added: 11/19/2009 21:23:28
Steam & Steel: A Guide to Fantasy Steamworks 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".

Mechamancy: The Clockwork Magic
by Davin Perry
Publisher: EN Publishing
Date Added: 11/19/2009 21:12:26
Mechamancy: The Clockwork Magic 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.

Mechamancy II: Living Machines

Publisher: EN Publishing
Date Added: 11/19/2009 21:05:01
Mechamancy II: Living Machines 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.

Modern Dispatch (#1): Alternate Armors

Publisher: RPG Objects

Modern Dispatch (#1): Alternate Armors Worth checking out, but I would never buy it. Its a list of modern armor for d20 games with a Damage Resistance and a smaller Defense Bonus. In someways this is a more accurate portrail of the principles behind bullet proof armor.

Race Creation Cookbook
by Davin Perry
Publisher: LPJ Design
Date Added: 11/19/2009 20:37:45
Race Creation Cookbook I genuinely appreciated this product and used it to create a number of new races (plant, construct, soulless, etc.) for PC and NPC creation. Has a number of new racial traits as well as a comprehensive list of all traits given in the MM. Other than the cover the artwork is mediocre.

Prototype: Galactic Space Ace
by Davin Perry
Publisher: LPJ Design
Date Added: 11/19/2009 20:28:10
Prototype: Galactic Space Ace Very interesting. This document has a strong grasp of the rocketeer asthetic of the 1950's and 1960's. By itself it's insufficent for a galactic exploration campaign, but good for expanding your adventures into earth's orbit. Other than the cover pic this document is extremely plain.

Scarrport: City of Secrets
by Davin Perry
Publisher: Reality Deviant Publications
Date Added: 11/19/2009 20:21:32
Scarrport: City of Secrets Very good product with tons of material. This is an excellent campaign setting of equal quality to anything yet produced by Wizards. I not in love with the new races. Several pieces of artwork are available as Shaman Stockclips. I would give it a 4.5 if that was possible.

Mythweaver Adventure Journal #1
by Megan Robertson [Featured Reviewer]
Publisher: Teddy Bear Press
Date Added: 11/19/2009 06:26:13
Mythweaver Adventure Journal #1 Written by the author of the Mythweaver RPG, this is a nicely-presented collection of ideas for and additions to the game. It starts with a discussion of the concept of 'role' as it has been presented in Dungeons & Dragons 4e, showing how careful selection of characters to build a coherent party can be of benefit even without the rigidity imposed by the D&D 4e roles. Sensible stuff, marred only by use of that nasty American slang term 'buff' to mean enhance - rendering at least one point unintelligible if you do not happen to know of that usage. Next come a couple of useful additions in the shape of a collection of spirits for those who fancy supernatural opposition and a piece on heroic mounts, enhancing and expanding on the core rules about riding animals. Then there is an article on 'Bounties and Missions' inspired by online computer games in which a character can undertake solo tasks to increase his wealth or skill points. As well as the obvious benefits to the character, and th...

Rites of the Dragon
by Frank Mitchell
Publisher: White Wolf
Date Added: 11/19/2009 02:36:08
Rites of the Dragon Rites of the Dragon is written as Dracula's own journals, written over several centuries. They tell of his death as a human, his "rebirth" as a vampire by the hand of God, and his ongoing attempts at self-improvement which became the Coils of the Dragon. It ends with a charter for the Ordo Dracul, defining the roles and rules of the organization. After reading The Testament of Longinus, I found this book a little disappointing. Unlike that book, this one is written as a straightforward first person narrative, albeit reflecting Dracula's shifting priorities and philosophies. The way the three "brides" of Dracula parallel the original three coils is a little too pat. Each page contains no more than a few paragraphs, dominated by artwork of varying quality. I don't get the sense of a document new members of Order Dracul might receive. The spartan style of The Testament of Longinus, or a reproduction of a hand-written manuscript with varying styles, might have helped. No doubt, Ri...

The Testament of Longinus
by Frank Mitchell
Publisher: White Wolf
Date Added: 11/18/2009 22:05:26
The Testament of Longinus This was an unexpected pleasure. The Testament of Longinus evokes memories of religious texts I've read (by choice or not). There's That One Really Boring Book, and That Book Written On Psychedelic Mushrooms. The text repeats itself, contradicts itself, and changes tense and person for a chapter before reverting back ... not unlike many real texts. Another nice touch is the use of footnotes by the supposed editors and translators. Not only do the footnotes add authenticity, the editors argue different interpretations IN THE FOOTNOTES, almost as if speaking to each other. Appendices by each elaborate his or her respective approach: one points out inaccuracies and contradictions as if to deconstruct it, another touts his theory of up to eight different authors, and a third defends his faith against the arguments of the other two. This book adds depth to the Lancea Sanctum, provides a prop for a V:tM game when printed, AND is an amusing, if dark and morbid, read....
