The Spider God's Bride is a collection of Sword and Sorcery adventures in the mold of Robert E. Howard's Conan and Kull stories. To be upfront, I do not play the Legend System so I really did not pay attention to the stats for the NPCs and the Monsters. I am actually going to use it with Crypts and Things. What I really loved about this product were the adventures. The title alone comes across as a the title of a novel from the 70's or 80's that would find in a used book store these days complete with a lurid cover of brawny warrior with a broadsword protecting a beautiful, scantily clad woman from a demon from the pits of Hell. Evil cults, dark gods, demons, rogues, cut throats, fowl sorcerers, mysterious women: all of that you can find in these adventures. I really think that this product captures the spirit of Sword and Sorcery fiction. Mongoose did a great job with the old Conan RPG and The Spider God's Bride shows that they still do sword and sorcery RPG adventures better than just about anyone.
