All the High Places
Publisher: Michael Brown
by Jeff V. [Verified Purchaser]

This is a great one page adventure that sets up a problem that has no official solution but allows plenty of scope for player ingenuity. I think it would work very well with the ultra-light Cepheus Quantum rules (although you can, of course, run it with any Traveller-type ruleset). However, I would like to have had a bit more information on the Aori people – I appreciate the format limits the adventure to one page but I think there was room to at least include what Tech Level they are.

Thanks for the kind review. You're right, I should've made some sort of indication as to the Aori's Tech Level; it's 0, although I suppose the Ref can bump it up to 1 if (s)he wants to make them a little more aware of what's going on. I've made the correction to the file.

Game Angry: How to RPG The Angry Way
Publisher: Angry Games, Inc.
by Jeff V. [Verified Purchaser]

A humourous, intelligent and insightful guide to improving your GMing skills, with advice for beginners, veterans and everybody in between. Highly recommended, with 5 stars for content. The only reason this isn't a 5 star review is that the writing style is a bit too verbose for my tastes.

Present Day Cthulhu powered by Fate
Publisher: Starbright
by Jeff V. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 06/08/2018 08:13:22

If this was an early draft of someone’s house rules then I would describe it as a promising start. As a commercial product it is sadly lacking and probably unplayable in its current form.

It looks like the scan of a physical product rather than an electronic document. There is also a lot less content here than you’d expect from a 137 page PDF, due to the vast amount of white space.

As per the product description, you get a summary of the Cthulhu mythos and the Fate Core rules. You also get the stats for 20 monsters and a dozen NPCs, and rules for the Cthulhu Mythos skill, some Unnatural Powers and insanity rules.

Cover / acknowledgements / contents: 4 pages (contents page is hyperlinked); Setting: 27 pages; Mythos Sites: 5.5 pages (12 sites); Dreamlands: 4.5 pages (11 sites); Monsters: 26 pages (20 monsters); Fate Core Rules: 43 pages; Running the Game: 7 pages; Creating Adventures: 20 pages (including example scenario).

I also didn’t like the way some of the wording is taken directly from the works of H.P. Lovecraft without attribution.

Monstrous Leaders
Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild
by Jeff V. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 01/25/2017 10:36:12

A nice little PDF with 20 traits you can add to monsters to make them tougher and/or more interesting, together with a suggestion as to what that should do to the CR.

Each trait is considered to be roughly equivalent to a feat, although there is quite a wide disparity in combat usefulness between the traits - I'd feel quite happy handing some of them out for free, whilst a couple could be quite powerful in the right circumstances.

Six well-drawn city maps (although I already had a map of Neverwinter). You can never have enough maps!

Planar Art Pack: The Planes, Spheres, and Aether
Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild
by Jeff V. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 08/05/2016 10:36:03

Over 50 pieces of art. I'm glad I got it, as there are four or five pieces that really grabbed me, and it's "Pay what you want" so the price is right!

There aren't any I disliked, but many of them are portraits of just one person (often with a tiefling or vampire vibe), which I can't see being particularly suitable as cover art. I would have prefered more landscapes.

Heroic Toolkits: Vehicles (Revised)
Publisher: Gun Metal Games
by Jeffrey V. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 04/19/2008 13:42:12

This is an excellent resource for True20 games set in any era.

It includes vehicles from all eras - low tech and fantasy, industrial age, golden age, modern age, near future and sci-fi. There are lots of different types - land, sea, air and space are included, too many count but well over a hundred in all.

There are also some new feats, vehicle related uses for old skills, and lots of supplemental rules.

Dawning Star: Operation Quick Launch
Publisher: Blue Devil Games
by Jeffrey V. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 11/01/2007 06:19:55

Excellent product, that makes good use of the d20 Future ruleset and is full of imaginative ideas.

Its a good place to start a d20 future campaign as it focuses on just one planet, albeit one with a long history that will only gradually become apparent to the players.

Blue Rose - The Roleplaying Game of Romantic Fantasy (True20)
Publisher: Green Ronin Publishing
by Jeffrey V. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 10/11/2005 00:00:00

I bought it for its innovative rules system, but this can now be purchased separately as the True 20 system.

Its a game of romantic fantasy, so should provide a good change of pace from the usual hack and slash of many d20 system games - if you can find people willing to look beyond the word "romantic" (my regular role-playing group win't even consider it, unfortunately).

It does a good job of introducing romantic fantasy, and centres around 3 countries - the utopia the players are assumed to be from, the realm of the evil sorcerer and the nation of misguided zealots.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: The tone and style; its very different from the other games I own.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: I woul have liked more detail about the world, rather than just having 3 nations.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>
