My judge of most RP books is the bestiary, and this book brings the monsters.

From classics like straightforward merfolk, to expansions on existing favorites like the mud mephit, and brand new crazyness. My personal favorite in the latter category? The Lepus - Tentacled. That's right, an effin' octo-rabbit! It's as wacky as it is deadly, and the full-page photo of the creature (page 58) does not disappoint. The artist, Derek Stevens, really outdid himself on that one. There's also all-manner of variants on mimics that are also very worth theiving from their dedicated adventure (House Party) and sticking into any homebrew game that might need some spicing up.

If you like unique monsters, a great revisit to the classics, and unique adventures, this is the book for you. If you hate fun, this book is not for you.

Questionable Quests is an amazing resource of exciting adventures and challenges for either a new or seasoned DM. Apart from unique and exciting combat scenarios, there are often alternate ways to complete the quests, keeping the players guessing and engaged the whole way through. Whether you are running them as stand alone or as a part of a larger game, there is something here that will work for everyone. Super excited for the chance to add these to my games.

The first thing that hits you is the excellent thought and preparation with regards to the format for each encounter, and the layout for the compendium as a whole. It's easy to read, easy to follow, and consistent throughout. The artwork is top notch and fires the imagination which for me, gives me creative ideas for 3d encounters and terrain - a big part of DM'ing in my world. The optional encounter variants allow DM's to adjust for taste and difficulty, while the huge spread in APL's (average party levels) makes it easy for beginning parties as well as experienced ones. I love the fact that a Bestiary is included so you don't have to go hunting around the web or your hardcover books for monster stats (ditto for magic items).

With all that said, is this for you? If you need some quick quests to drop into your campaign or one shot, this is a fantastic tool. This is definitely not a campaign so don't be looking for a full story arc here, that's not what this book is about.

If you need another tool in your DM arsenal, one that you'll use for years to come - this one won't disappoint.

A really great collection of fantasy adventures. Perfect for a last minute side-adventure or a story that has solid groundwork for multiple sessions of play.

The layout and trade dress is excellent! Easy to read fonts and background art that doesn't put a strain on the eyes to read but still has that fantasy look to it.

The art is also fantastic! One artist is used and it gives the book a cohesive, well-packaged look. I wish more companies would take note of that decsion.

Can't wait for more products from Gamer Girl Games!

I was gifted a copy of this by one of the creators based on a comment I left in a discussion group about what I like to see in an adventure scenario. But for the value inside, I would have been happy to pay full price. I've paid a lot more for a lot less.

Context:

I run an open world sandbox game, where 3 different groups are playing on the same world map in 3 different weekly sessions.

So I want short scenarios that are creative, no fluff or excess lore. Stuff that I can drop into existing areas with ease, in-between larger adventures, or even to string together into a larger scenario.

The quick quests in this book fit the bill. Varying levels of challenge, small focus, all meat and potatoes that I can take from prep to game table with a minimum of work and there isn't one in here I wouldn't use if it fit the action at the table for the coming week.

So along with things like "one page dungeons" and "five room dungeons" I will be adding this to my DM folder for side quests or adventure seeds.

If you need a ton of hand-holding and pre-keyed maps and boxed text and all that, this isn't for you - or rather, you will have to do a lot of work yourself.

However, if you're a good improvisor, have the resources or skill to connect this with maps and fill out the skeleton and muscle of each scenario here to the needs of your game, there is phenomenal value in this product.

Looking forward to Volume 2. I'll take all of this that you've got.
