A very early d20 product, it shows to some degree, as several of the features presented in this product have balance issues. However, the great strength of the product is its detailed examination of a goddess, her place in a a pantheon, and a religion based around death. Death cults have many forms in fantasy settings as well as in the real world, and to have one detailed so thoroughly is a great help to a campaign designer. In addition, the organization is very effective, presenting the character of the goddess first - thereby personalizing and making the rest of the book that much more interesting. It's definitely worth a look, especially if you are considering making a death god or goddess for a pantheon of your own devising. This can take a lot of work off your shoulders.

This book gives a look into a school of magic from many different points of view. The standard character races, religions and gods, and other schools of magic all have their say and even differentiates between wizard and sorcerer approaches to enchantment. This gives a very thorough background for a player or GM wanting to add more detail to the practice of magic in their campaign world.

It would be especially helpful for games with arcane practicioners at the center, including the various "magical college" and "magical explorers" campaigns that have been published by many companies.

The list of spells is evocative and seems well-balanced for the most part. It certainly is detailed enough and if you're an obsessive spellbook-filler like myself you'll want to concoct quests to obtain many of these spells right away.

The file is in good shape but doesn't use any special PDF features. It's a steal for the price.

One of the first "horseback" supplements to come out during the d20 boom, this supplement remains a solid outing. Combining it with other supplements that perhaps came out later - mass combat, exploration, chase scenes - makes it even stronger. The rules are relatively simple but cover most of the horse-related stuff that fantasy folk have to deal with.

The additional material covering non-horse mounts is a welcome addition. Battle hares ahoy! Everyone loves a good battle hare.

Ever since the advent of wilderness adventures, mounts have been an important but often overlooked part of the game. One area that might have been interesting to explore in future editions is "what to do with them when we get to the dungeon", and other game-related logistical questions that can sometimes bog down the action.

The file is well-optimized but doesn't have any special PDF features. It is well worth the price.

A useful-looking collection of diverse, sometimes surprising locales and inhabitants of the poorer parts of a city, including shops, taverns, alleys and various other common encounters, with passable art. Unfortunately doesn't seem to include the New NPC Classes mentioned in the Alleyways section.

A few useful ideas - phasm juice stands out, for me - amid various fairly trivial notions of Rag this, alchemical solution that and ideas that are just not written to be as cool as they might be. Spark cloth, which figures prominently in the introduction, unfortunately doesn't seem to have any stats. I wouldn't want to pay a lot for this, but a DM might find several entries that germinate further ideas.

This is a cute little addition to my gaming library. Nice layout, good information, and a fun thing to show my players :)

Very nice, good information, full of little goodies for the discerning GM.

Gives a great bases for cyberpunk in the D20 Modern system. Very open and portable to almost any game or group of players. Also I enjoy the the weapons stats, they really try to take in to account that a weapons maybe firing the same bullet, but that does not make them equal.

I've been wanting to make one of these tables for years but could never think of 100 things to put on it and usually ran out of steam after 20. It's very simply formatted and easy to port into FGII or another DM assistant program which is a must for me to enjoy a product. So many documents have such complicated formatting that they aren't very adaptable but I found all the products I bought from this company were easy to read and port. Cheap is also a huge plus!

Someone's read "Perdido Street Station"? This instalment shows a good strong concept, though a bit one-dimensional and with some frankly far-fetched elements.

I have to agree with the previous reviewer that it's not an attractive option mechanically. The Zizak might make a PC species with some additional strong benefit, perhaps some bonus to technology that (among other applications) could improve their use of powered armour, which seems to be important to them.

It is exactly what it says it is...a list of 100 plants. Would have been a more useful product if it includes some sort of description, particularly since most people (like us city folk) would have no clue what half of these are. I suppose I can go troll wikipedia and look up the plants...but if I wanted to do that I don't need to buy supplements. probably should have read some of the other reviews for similar products first to get a better idea what to expect.

The various lists in Dark Quest's "100 [Whatevers]" line vary in quality and usefulness, but I'd rank this one very near the top. It gets so boring, when PCs in a fantasy RPG loot their foes' dead bodies or search through an abandoned hut, to say, "You find nothing of interest." With this chart, I can roll a few quick dice and say, "In one of the orc's pockets you find a cork, a tuft of fur, and a vanilla bean." This adds a little richness to the description--and since I'm using this convenient chart, I don't have to think too hard about it or come up with ideas on my own. I'm glad this product is in my RPG library.

Not very long ago, I needed to throw a couple of useless but flavorful magic books onto an NPC's bookshelf. I wish I'd already purchased this product before that adventure. I came up with a couple of reasonable-sounding titles, but this list of 100 arcane book subjects would have helped me broaden my own thinking a bit. I don't know that I'd necessarily use the entries on this list as the exact titles of the books, but if you need to come up with a quick description of what's in an book about magic (perhaps not necessarily a magical book or a spellbook), this chart is very handy. It's not the greatest product in the world, but it can sure help out a DM pressed for time or running short on imagination.

This product delivers exactly what it promises: a list of 100 sailing ship names, numbered so you can easily pick randomly from the list with a d% roll. Of course, you can also cherry-pick names from the list. I can't help comparing Dark Quest's "100 [Whatevers]" line with the Two Bit Tables line; in this case, I prefer the names on Dark Quest's list of "100 Sailing Ships" to those in TBT's comparable product (although TBT's costs, well, two bits less than Dark Quest's). Some of the names on this list are a little pallid, some are very good, and most are somewhere in between. If you could use a chart of 100 sailing ship names, this product is a good way to get one.

This product delivers exactly what it promises: a list of 100 shops, like "alchemist," "furrier," "herbalist," etc. If you need to quickly fill out a city street with random shops, the table works like a charm. If you're looking for shop names, though--sort of what I was looking for when I bought the product--look elsewhere. I'd rate this product as "so-so." It really feels weird to suggest that a 74¢ item is overpriced, but where this line overlaps with the Two Bit Tables line, the TBT products sometimes give you 8x the variety for 2/3 the price. I generally like Top Fashion's "100 Whatevers" line, but I wouldn't rate "100 Shops" as one of the best in the line.
