Very easy to follow, quick to learn and set up. All in all a good game.

Nothing takes a roleplaying session from a system of numbers and dice rolls and brings it into the realm of high adventure like the willingness to believe, just for a moment, that you are the person described on your character sheet. And few things can assist in that process like a few well-placed props. This handy guide is a great way to get your feet wet into the wide world of propmaking. It is an easy to follow guide for making some common gaming props without spending a lot of money.

Well, for a dollar its definitely a five stars. I wish it had thick black borders allowing it to be cut out, rather than just as a standee. The goats themselves look good.

I was excited to see a new article for 4th Edition D&D. Part of the reason for my purchase is to support the creation of further articles.I love skill challenges for some of the same reasons as the writers. The concept revolutionized my approach to non-combat situations in my games.
This is a decent summary of the rules, and of some of the common approaches to them. It also contains some advice I don't recall seeing elsewhere. I don't agree with all of it, but it seems clear that it works for the writers and could work for others.
The cover art is beautiful, but I believe it's just a public domain image. There are a few inside illustrations that are pretty good and have a clear 4th Edition influence; they're not just generic fantasy pictures.
There are also two example skill challenges.The actual text is about 3 and a half of the 10 pages.I hope these writers produce more and post them to DriveThruRPG. I'll be on the lookout.

The expanded Gebb intro is great! It does a great job introducing the basic premise and characers; the concept and setting sketches of the base are a really fun addition. I always love to see the full, pulled back view of settings we normally only get glimpses of during the story.

Oh, poor Steve! As usual KMO has made him the most endearing character with his misguided cheer.

Very clever, well defined. I like the Antipathy as Horses are the opposing or rival of the rat. Really want to use these as a red herring in a game, especially the swarm, coupled with the unexpected weight of metal rats. Great write up and stat blocks.

Cool, well written. I made a review on my role-play YouTube channel "Dethstrok9", but I will say it was rather dissapointingly "just okay" as opposed to the other products I have read from this line. However, if you need a quick scenario for either Cthulhu LIVE or Call of Cthulhu, you can't beat the price of this product. 8/10

All I can say is... WOW!
If you want a more detailed review, check out my YouTube review of the PDF at my channel (who's link I can't put here) "Dethstrok9".
10/10 Must Buy!

Gunna be honest. I love all the Swords of Kos stories. This one is no exception. If you like this one they have more! (No, I dont work for them. Lol)

I bought this as an idea generator, as it's on the surface a simple list of things you might encounter while travelling. It's mostly system-agnostic, which I needed, because the systems I run and write for don't always meet normal gaming assumptions.
It had a few things that borrowed from myths I knew, but never too many to clutter out the story part. Some of the suggestions were short and descriptive, some were scene seeds, and some were scenario seeds, which I felt I could easily make into a game. About 5% had me considering HOW I would write that game, and pausing before scrolling further.
It's a good thing to reach for when a trail or road lacks interest.

This one would make a great familiar! Way too cute to kill. Way too useful.

The punchline on this one really got me. Even if you see where it's going, it's so well done!

The best thing about this supplement is the inventiveness of the monster descriptions. Even though I will be using these monsters in a campaign run using a completely different RPG system, the descriptions are enough to make the book worthwhile for me.
I also liked the fact that not all of the "monsters" are killers, some are helpful - which makes a nice change of pace.
Only one small negative - the text of Bad Beer states it drowns its victims, but the image shows an acid effect.
