VII
by Howard Jeng
Publisher: White Wolf
Date Added: 07/03/2009 16:38:48
VII Content-wise, VII does deliver everything promised in the ad copy, but not much more. It does supply three different options for VII, but the first two are not radically different from each other. Without spoiling anything, both options, in broad terms, seem like obvious conclusions reachable from the description of VII given in the main book. However, some of the details are non-obvious and interesting, and the third choice is very much different from the first two. Taken individually, there's nothing wrong with the contents of the book, but the whole is less than the sum of the parts. From a technical standpoint, the PDF is serviceable. The text is as legible as print would be, though the lack of bookmarks is annoying. There don't seem to be any overly complicated page layouts that would slow down rendering significantly like in some other White Wolf products....

Origin of the Species: Transmechs
by Carl Anderson
Publisher: Crafty Games
Date Added: 07/03/2009 15:46:29
Origin of the Species: Transmechs I bought this shortly after I received the email about the release and though I was skeptical, I'm glad I bought it. The rules are quite well done and balanced. The feats do a good job of covering all the bases without eating up too many of your precious feat slots. So far, this is the best system I've seen for role playing the Transformers.

The Psychic's Handbook
by Shane O'Connor [Staff]
Publisher: Green Ronin
Date Added: 07/03/2009 14:30:38
The Psychic's Handbook I remember, back when I was playing AD&D, how cool it was that characters had a small chance of having a psionic wild talent. The odds were against it, but every so often, a character would have a random psionic power. So occasionally there’d be a 1st-level fighter who could teleport, or a thief with the ability to read minds, above and beyond what such characters could normally do. Of course, then 3E came along, and such things were sacrificed in the name of balance. Psionics was reworked to be almost exactly like magic, characters who wanted to dip into psionics were pretty much limited to multiclassing. I missed the old method of doing things, but accepted that you just couldn’t have that and keep game balance at the same time. Thank you, Green Ronin, for creating The Psychic’s Handbook and showing me just how wrong I was. The Psychic’s Handbook is a 3.5 sourcebook, re-released in PDF form for the first time, as part of Green Ronin’s classic “3rd Era” line of products. Oftenti...

WorldWorksGames / ExteriorWorks: Hinterland
by Aleksandar Saranac
Publisher: WorldWorks Games
Date Added: 07/03/2009 07:09:28
WorldWorksGames / ExteriorWorks: Hinterland I have previously bought Fat Dragon E-Z Terrain Forest and Ruins and it was perfect set for my wargames. Attending to add some new colour to my terrain, I have bought Hinterlands, expecting more-less the same just with little bit different graphics. But I was totaly dissapointed. Hinterland offered much less then FD set. Actualy, the only thing I was able to use here were small hills (FD offers just one, but big and modular), and one tile with river end to connect my FD grassland with WWG Swampworks I have bought earlier (and found it very usefull). The biggest dissapointment are coniferous trees. While in FD set complex versions look perfect and complitly 3D (even the simple versions look great), with WWG they still have some kind of 2,5D look I do not like on my battlefield. Deciduous trees are not usable in any of the two sets, they shold be built as wire models. Another problem are tiles that are part of this set. They are littered with 2D drawings of big boulders, bridges, kam...

Adventurer's Guide to Cthonia
by David Hopper
Publisher: Alea Publishing Group
Date Added: 07/03/2009 00:50:35
Adventurer's Guide to Cthonia I have always enjoyed this original campaign setting. The two authors have spent a lot of time and effort to not only make it a 'fun game' but to also incorporate a lot of historical material. Yes, it is still a fantasy game; but I think anyone who enjoys history, especially of the medieval era will enjoy this setting.

Feudal Characters: Noble
by David Hopper
Publisher: Alea Publishing Group
Date Added: 07/03/2009 00:43:52
Feudal Characters: Noble Having used this product in the game I am playing in; I can honestly say good job to the Alea Publishing Group and it's authors, Cameron and Josh. I agree that while not all the powers mesh 100% with each other or a real game, it's a well written and useful multiclass.

Free RPG Day: Oracle of Orcas
by David Hopper
Publisher: Alea Publishing Group
Date Added: 07/03/2009 00:35:22
Free RPG Day: Oracle of Orcas This is a great side quest. It's easily ran and played as part of a larger campaign or indeed as a one shot module. Kudos to Alea Publishing for bringing us this.

Raiders of Los Arch
by Thomas Milligan
Publisher: Dark Spire
Date Added: 07/02/2009 12:08:23
Raiders of Los Arch Product Description says: "This module includes detailed battle maps and unique extensive encounters." When you purchase you receive this note: "If you are interested in purchasing a printed copy email --- . Printed copies include full size battle mats." The PDF does not contain battle maps ,as stated in the description. I did not purchase the PDF so that I could purchase the printed copy. Seems like a decent low level 4E adventure, but I do not appreciate the inaccurate product description....

Darklore Manor - full album [BUNDLE]
by Nathan Turner
Publisher: Monolith Graphics
Date Added: 07/02/2009 09:44:17
Darklore Manor - full album [BUNDLE] This is very high-quality gothic music, perfect for a Cthulhu campaign, a dark-horror-style supernatural campaign (Vampire: Masquerade, Werewolf, or anything similar) or even a supernatural-D&D campaign. Just listening to it and reading the descriptive info for the tracks has given me several ideas for the D&D-horror campaign I'm planning. However, while the tracks including lyrics are okay to listen to purely for entertainment, I'm not sure they'd be useable as an accompaniment to DMing; they'd likely be too distracting for the players. Like: High-quality recordings of the tracks, atmospheric music and plenty of it (total running time for this bundle 51:10). Dislike: Vocal tracks not so useful as atmospheric music, lack of downloadable cover art (other than the small image on this site) and lack of downloadable descriptions of the tracks (a PDF with the colour text that appears on the bundle page would have been great)....

Origin of the Species: Transmechs
by Marcin Skupnik
Publisher: Crafty Games
Date Added: 07/02/2009 06:53:38
Origin of the Species: Transmechs I was quite surprised by the unannounced release of this toolkit. After buying it I must say that it almost completely covers the Transformers, with their sometimes unique technology. Included are feats that allow the creation of combiners, pretenders, triple-changers etc. The only missing element are the headmasters (and all other "masters"), but their inclusion would probably require more rules to make them work. This high quality pdf is a must for every transformers fan/spycraft gamer. For it's price it includes more than enough for several campaigns filled with gigantic transforming robots....

e-Adventure Tiles: Swamps I just picked this up and love it. Could use some reed tiles and some murk water-only tiles. Once again brilliant work by Ed :) Thanks very much!

The Day After Ragnarok
by Andrew George
Publisher: Atomic Overmind Press
Date Added: 07/02/2009 01:46:01
The Day After Ragnarok A grear 40's setting for affectionados of Pulp, cliffhanger, tubepunk, magic and monsters. Nazis, Cultists, Stalinists, Giants, and huuuuge Snakes! What more can you ask for If I had a negative comment to make its that some of the fonts in the PDF are not common here (Australia), so getting it printed is a pain.

ArcheTech Special Report: An Assortment of Armor
by Brenton Hudson
Publisher: Cracked Mirror Publishing
Date Added: 07/01/2009 21:02:15
ArcheTech Special Report: An Assortment of Armor ArcheTech is an amazing well-written sourcebook that gives anyone, be they GM or player, ideas for both battlesuit heroes and villains. The level of detail in explaining battlesuits in a realistic manner shows that the author did his homework. The author distinguishes armor between powered armor and exoskeletons, and even gives detailed examples of those two. A great deal of work was put into making this book. While I did find the book too short, I will admit that the book does its job very well. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to make a superhero game that is both fantastic and realistic at the same time....

Weapons & Assassins
by Ian Montgomery
Publisher: Palladium Books
Date Added: 07/01/2009 04:29:09
Weapons & Assassins VERY POOR QUALITY! The quality of the scan is very bad, even insulting that they expect you to pay for it. There are pages in the PDF that are cut off in places, and others printed sideways or at strange angles. If you buy this, like me, you will regret it. Don't waste your money here, as clearly the company has not even bothered to care about what they are offering, and quality checked what they are trying to sell you. Very bad quality.
