really great and you can chuck it into most gaming systems and it'll work great for Peppering in (exuse the cooking pun) some extra fun for my players

A fantastic gonzo science fantasy setting. I've used it to bolster my current DCC/MCC game with some fresh ideas. Alot of cool game-ready material in this book. Some amazing and unique tables as well as a plethora of ideas to use for inspiration or for direct use. The print quality is good (I bought SoftCover) and I haven't noticed any typos or mistakes. Overall fantastic product in both content and layout/writing quality.

This is a great collection of adventure ideas, medieval stories, unique villians. The adventures and story hooks are extremely evocative and will help any RPG historrical or fantasy that wishes to ground itself in moody medieval style adventures. The adventures are written for a specific camapign setting, but can easily be dropped into most homebrew campaign worlds (thats what I am doing). If I had one complaint I would have appriciated more art full page art of some of the villians (so I could show the players).

i like it adds to lion and dragon its worth it if you have l&d other wise yeh its fine

A really useful addition to any game set in a medieval-esque period, whether it's a real-world fantasy game or a typical D&D game. Easily incorporated into any sword & sorcery game!

This collection of OSR, medieval authentic adventures is perfect to add to any "realistic" game of Euro fantasy, and can easily be inserted into most D&D games or Pathfinder for that matter. A nice collection of intriguing and insightful adventures!

Awesome book full of great, challenging adventures for use in any OSR, or really any sword and board RPG. There are over 20 scenarios, and I've already dropped a pair of these into my home game. Huge value for the money, and the adventures are excellent.

This is a good game. I am normally not a fan of D&D style rules, but Star Adventurer fixes a lot of what I dislike. I like the hit point progression being flattened out to a single point per level for non-combat classes and 2 points per level for frontline classes. The random table for leveling up is really interesting. As is the "race" of your character being an archtype instead of a lengthy list of races and their modifiers. Overall, this is a tightly written and well thought out OSR game and well worth buying.

This is a tricky one to review - I really like RPGPundit as a, well, as a pundit, and subscribe to his YouTube channel. I thought Lion and Dragon was fantastic, a really good re-imagining of old school D&D in a genuine medieval setting. The L&D magic system is really great.

Old School Companion is a mixed bag. It's basically a collection of stuff from the RPGPundit's regular "...Presents" series of PDF products. I can't quite make up my mind if the content if this book is basically inessential, or if it just doesn't really fit with my personal DM style/game requirements.

There are some new classes and crit tables - these are decent, especially the Archer class as a variant of the original Fighter. Some of the info about the clerical order is also useful, even if like me you use Catholic Christianity as the basis for your game's religion rather than L&D's "official" Sol Invictus cult.

However, a lot of the content of the book seems, while interesting, not really a lot of use. There's a lot of material about real world magic like the Goetia and tarot and so on. This is all correct (the Pundit knows his occult) but I can't really see it being much use in game, the original L&D magic was pretty comprehensive and if you wanted to know about the Goetic demons there are plenty of places online you can print off a list of them. Similarly with the tarot - i can't imagine having a fully detailed tarot session in game, you'd just hit the high points that were relevent to the adventure and crack on. But then again, maybe that's just me. I know about the occult as well, so for someone without that background all this might be gold.

I have a similar problem with some of the mundane stuff towards the back of the book about costs of housing, travel times and so on. In my games, this kind of stuff is never really that important and while I expect it's well researched it just doesn't really seem to justify the page count to me. I am aware though, that as an Englishman, a lot of this "medieval authentic" stuff is just stuff I know from being English and growing up in England and having an interest in history. For an American reader, for example, this sort of information could be exactly what they need.

So there you go. The book is nicely designed and put together (although not as nicely as the original L&D book which was something special), but what you get out of it is probably dependent on your baseline knowledge of history and the occult, and how much crunch you like in your games. But the Pundit is still a top chap so I'm still giving it 4 stars.

My very first RPGPundit book purchase. Was not disappointed. Not a large title, but a complete game all the same. Made some characters and immediately was impressed with how easy it was for me to pick up the system. I do not have any previous OSR experience.

Would buy it again. Great value for the money.

I highly recommend this if you plan on doing a spelljammer-like campaign. Rules for flying craft, generating random floating islands and fun locations that are pulled from random genres. Guarenteed to find something useful.

My favourite part is the occupations for the Hipster Elves, they give off a Paranoid RPG feel with comical player backgrounds that would be fun to RP.

Very flexible and adaptable to most Space Opera settings. This isn't a product that spells everything out for you in microdetail, but rather gives you the tools to customize it to any setting. Personally I plan to use it to run a Babylon 5 campaign, which - using OGL Mongoose Games' Babylon 5 RPG as source material - will give a smoother and faster game!

Gonzo Fantasy with detailed content and great fun!

'The World Of The Last Sun' is an old school gonzo-fantasy compiled from lots of material from RPGPundit's other work.

There's a whopping 275 pages of content here! Due to the material being built up slowly over a period of time, nothing here feels like filler. Every single one of those pages is packed with unique content and belongs in this book.

My prior experience with RPGPundit's work was with 5E, for which he consulted on and his Realistic 'Lion and Dragon' medieval RPG ruleset. I was glad to see that this is every bit as well written as Lion and Dragon (These days a lot of products on the market are in desperate need of an editor in this regard!). The Setting and style however is very different, and is a credit to RPGPundit's versitility.

The author definitely seems to have great fun writing this, and there's a heavy dose of humour throughout all 7 chapters, as we have come to expect from these Gonzo style RPGs.

The layout is good, and the artwork is of a high quality - with probably just the right amount so that it doesn't ever get to the point where it overshadows the actual content.

There's probably a lot of content in here that someone could probably lift for a non-Gonzo game, such as a 5E campaign too. There's a lot of good random tables, characters, factions and locations that could transcend a setting here.

Overall I was very impressed with this work. I know the author has made enemies within the more mainstream RPG hobby on Social Media for his outspokenness. But despite all the negativity directed at him, his work keeps selling and gaining traction. The reason for that is that it's very good and the guy is the real deal when it comes to writing RPGs and Settings. 'World Of The Last Sun' is evidence of that.

Content: vast and flexible to any campaign Artwork: great Fun: unequivocable Value: excellent

Summary: you should consider acquiring this, in PDF or printed form.

Great book! I was having difficulties converting modern weapons into a ancient famtasy setting and this book became an invaluable resource to add to my collection. worth the money.
