Just got in to using Adobe In Design and wanted a basic book. Did want to spend a ton on a book in case it wasn't what I'd need. This is a great book for beginners. Very clearly written and helpful.

A fine edition to the OSRIC rules, not only does it give players that are fans of the Bard class a retro version to play with, but it also gives classic players a nice alternative to the overpowering Monk class that is in the original 1st edition Players Hand Book, and of course it has a lot of other Goodie's to play with in your game.

I recommended this book to any retro gamer wanting to add more to there game!

Best... 1st Edition Clone...... EVER!!!!

Ever sense I bought an old 1st edition Starter set years ago I have been looking for 1st edition books for a LONG time, and that I have found THIS! I can finally start that retro game that I have always wanted to play/run!

I recommend this to all classic gamers everywhere for that Old School feeling that we all look for!

Nice little expansion adds to the fun of the original.

I just love the idea you've had to reproduce what our 13-years old silly adventures have been. It's still a little too slick & neat for me but there's a lot of merit here.

I was underwhelmed by this product offering. The presentation is fine, but the content is lacking in both detail and cohesiveness. The encounters are thrown together with no real thought, and they seem woefully out of balance. Using this resource for a random night of fun with characters that are not part of a regular campaign might be interesting, but even that fun would be dampened by the fact that you have to look up all the stats for the monsters elsewhere, creating a great a mount of extra work.

On the plus side, the publishers never claim this product is anything but what it is: an adventure that was created when the author was in junior high school. It does provide a feeling of nostalgia, but I can't say that would make me want to purchase a similar product if it weren't free.

2 of 5 stars. (Would have been 1 star based solely on content, but the fact they were so upfront about it gives the extra star.)

Foray into the Wilderness is a free product, and there's a good reason why. It is a horrible product not worth the money.

The artwork is mediocre (and that's being generous). The font used simulates handwriting and makes it illegible. The document tries to simulate being written in a notebook. Instead of being quaint, it makes it doubly difficult to read.

The content itself seems to have been written by a 5th grade munchkin player . From what I can see, we have a few notes on what could possibly be the start of a properly written adventure.

Essentially, there a badly drawn map with 7 encounters. The encounters themselves provide just the barest of information on the type of monster and treasure. There are no proper descriptions or background information.

After that, there's a GM Adventure log, with an empty Notes page, an empty Module Title page, and empty Summary Matrix, Weapons Matrix, Combat Matrix, and Spells Inventory pages.

It almost looks like the author took old notes from when he was 13 years old, scanned them and tried to pass them off as a proper module. If that is the case, either keep it to yourself or complete and polish the module properly.

The module ends with advertisement for additional products from Usherwood Publishing. Here's a tip. If you include a sample of your products, make sure the sample is at least of some type of quality, not the junk you provided.

I, for one, will not purchase any products from Usherwood Publishing.

Cute idea, but virtually unreadable. Trying to simulate a kid writing in a loose leaf notebook, they went overboard with notebook graphics and a cursive font, making it very difficult for these middle aged eyes to read. Also sluggish, very sluggish even on my PC, much less my tablet.

Your watermarking destroys the interactive form fields.

It's a pity I can't give it a 4.9. It looks awesome... but... it is a pretty big PDF. Is there anyway to reduce the size?

This feels like old school in the best way. It has a sketch book style. Break out the graph paper and gather a few friends and have fun :)

A great adventure for the OSRIC RPG, and a truly classic RPG product - beautifully illustrated, packed with campaign notes and tips on running the adventure, reference sheets, and new creatures and magic items. Usherwood Publishing does an excellent job in capturing the old-school feel in their products, and this one is no exception.

This works really well, but you have to turn on the VBA support in the Tools_Add-Ins... (The Analysis ToolPak-VBA and the Internet Assistant VBA) This makes a great random generator for gems and jewlery.

This didn't work - I have Windows XP, and recalculating gives everything a "#name" result. Might be me, might be the program, might be a gremlin, but it didn't work for me. Too bad, I liked the idea.

Great idea, and it would be a handy utility, but I never could get it to work. I checked the boxes, and it tried to to generate values, but it never displayed anything but "#name" or "value". Was something missing in the download?
