Hobgoblins of the Mailed Fist

This is great stuff. I was looking for ideas for a mercenary band in my game, and bought 4 different titles. This is the one that works for me and will be used.

Plusses: "Realistic" D&D mercenaries. Highly lawful LE/LN, highly organized, well equiped, well trained. The troopers are Warrior 4 - not ridiculously overpowered but very tough if, like me, you default to a world where typical soldiers are Warrior 1, 5th level parties probably have a reputation (Fireball!), and 9th level is a big deal. They make good use of Fighter/Clerics, Bards, and Rangers as well. Even some air power.

Minuses: None.

Notes: Adaptable to most D&D settings. For me, in Greyhawk, they earned their stripes fighting in the civil wars that collapsed the Great Kingdom.

Thank you for this review. I much appreciate the kind words! Also, glad you could easily adapt it to Greyhawk--that's my favourite old-school campaign world and everything we publish is designed with a eye to fitting it into Greyhawk somewhere. Good luck with your campaign!

20 Quick Half-Orc NPCs

This edition-neutral D&D product is just what I was looking for. The NPC's are orginal ideas, thoughtfully created and usable as "regular" folks for my player characters to interact with in a wide variety of ways. i used the cover NPC, Clorinda, last night, and it nearlqy resulted in a bar fight when a random NPC objected to her, stood down by PC Intimidation - yeah!

Also, I like how the author thinks about half-orcs, as being more than a threat.

A good variety of characters, who could fit in many types of campaigns. The illustrations are good, and the characters range from "pretty normal", which is mostly what I want, to "would fit someone else's campaign better" but might be interesting offbeat in mine".

My favorites are Ace the Archer, who as they describe could be an assassin, love interest, or rival. Huey the Minotaur, whow for some reason tends to get kicked out of parties he joins. Idrina the pub owner with a secret. Marius the ronin knight. And Shifty the Kobold Pirate.
