The Demon Stones (Pathfinder)
Publisher: MonkeyBlood Design
by Edwin N. [Verified Purchaser]

Demon Stones combines an excellent rural romp, replete with interesting NPCs of mixed desires, with a solid delve with interesting tricks and a nice assortment of baddies. In the hands of a good GM, the finale promises to be remembered by the players for a long time to come. But I suspect the ride getting there will be remembered for even longer. Between the denizens of Gravencross and the multiple story threads running through the adventure, this could easily make for the foundation of a lengthy campaign.

The PDF is cleanly laid out in a logical fashion. The descriptions are clearly written and well summarized to make it easy for a GM to quickly get acquainted (or reacquainted) with the story lines, and as necessary, multiple descriptions are provided depending on how the characters arrive at a particular scene.

And the maps. As can be no surprise to anybody who has seen other work from Monkey Blood Design, the maps are beautiful and highly functional. Both GM and player/VTT versions are included, and there are lots of them. Sketches throughout the piece finish off the work nicely, bringing an extra bit of life to the story.

100 numbers between 1 and 100, Inclusive
Publisher: Troll in the Corner

I must agree with some other reviewers that mathematically speaking, that while there are many numbers between 1 and 100, there are only 98 whole numbers between those two limits, as the word, "between" is used in the early editions. In later editions, "between" has come to include an alternate definition of, "between, inclusively". I feel like this product's title should be changed to something that provides a better indication of its contents. Perhaps, "100 whole numbers between 1 and 100, inclusive". I was really hoping for a list that did not include 1 or 100 as I find that those extreme cases do not follow current models of "failing forward". I am concerned that I will be forced to re-roll approximately 2% of my rolls to avoid these results, and that this will lead to player discomfort, at best, and complete distrust of me,, their GM, at worst. This is not the sort of inclusive, world-building experience that I attempt to foster in the RPGs that I run. That said, product was delivered very quickly and the environmentally friendly packaging protected all the bits as they were streamed my way. Excellent job. For my rating, I have chosen one of the many fine numbers on the list, in this case the number "5".
