I'm NOT going to sugar-coat this: This is one of the BEST adventure creation kits on the market, and with some Ironsworn or Mythic inspiration can be used for ANY RPG in ANY genre... NEGATIVES: Blury edges Reversed order of second section/book

POSITIVES: 1 Adventure Easy to follow guidelines for plotting out a quest! Can be used as an aid for either Ironsworn or Mythic GM Emulator! If you like Me, Myself and Die you'll probably enjoy the simplicity here.

This is a scanned copy and it does not have the original page margins.

More troubling is the second book (of the three in this product) has all of the pages in reverse order--in other words the first page is page 32 and the last page is page 1. This PDF, like most all of the PDFs from WotC, is secured and does not permit alteration, so you just have to live with reading book 2 in reverse.

Rating: Fair (because it has searchable text, it's only saving grace).

This is a scanned file from a printed source.

The quality is poor, but readable. There's almost no discernable margins, so don't expect to print it out and bind it. In fact, a few pages got the edges cut off, but just barely. It's still legable.

The scan produced a light grey background, with dark grey text.

One good note is that the scan produced text and not images, so you can search the .pdf for text.

A helpful toolkit for the DM.

I bought this new way back when, and I was happy to see it return in a handy pdf form. First, let me address another review from several years ago that complained about forms being filled in. I don't know if the file was faulty back then and only included the filled-in forms, but this current file has both the blank and filled-in versions of the all the forms. The original print book also had this same set-up: each different form had both a blank and a filled-in version, with the latter set up as an example for the user.

The description and overview given for this product pretty much sums it up well, so if that appeals to you, then you won't be disappointed. It will help in randomly generating an adventure, but in my opinion, its more important use is as tool to get one's creativity flowing. Even a veteran DM can find some use in this book. I consider it an unsung classic.

I lost my original copy and found it here! Man, was I glad. This is a GREAT product for adventure designers and even story writers (which I have used this for with great success).

There are different parts to this, and my favorite and most used was the Adventure Cookbook, which consists of a detailed breakdown of possible settings, themes,plot hooks, pc goals, and lots more. You can roll randomly or pick and choose. It goes over villain choices, making memorable henchman, possible red herrings for PC's, and the list just keeps going.

Included are a plethera of design forms and templates to flowchart your story or adventure. Don't listen to the previous reviewer who said the forms are already filled out. There are sample forms filled out to give you an idea of how to use them, and then the blank versions also.

Warning...if you only like pointless dungeon crawls with very little story, you may not like this product. If you love depth to the campaign, and want it worthy of an epic novel, this may help.

Excited to see this old school title, even more excited that it had FORMS to help me out, so I bought it with my CC, downloaded it, waited anxuously for the organized widsom to flow into my head and then.....

THE FORMS ARE FILLED OUT! USELESS (unless I want to re-type or print and white out and copy or go through some other HASSLE)!

For less than 5 bucks, we know what they say....

This was actually a waste of money to me, the file format was clearly not well defined. I am glad it was only $5 and not more, or else I would have been extremely disappointed. But as they say, u get what u pay for.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Disappointing<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Ripped Off<br>

Man, I bought this in a fit of nostalgia. It's got some great advice and the charts are first rate.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: The plot-generating charts are still first rate.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Other content feels a little dated, but less thna you'd expect.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Acceptable<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

Not my cup of tea. Too much emphasis on plot, not enough on adventure!

A little dated because I no longer play the D&D system, but the content of the book is well presented and is very valuable.

The translation of the proprietary system to generic is very easy. I have and will continue to recommend this product.
