This is a great product. Since I've started running a couple of games using a virtual table top, I'm looking for as many of these as possible. These work great for Deadlands! Arion Games, please convert more of your sets to counters!

A very, very useful resource for a Savage Worlds group - it adds another level of variety to a game session - GMs (and other players) never know when play is going to shift through use of a card.
And, as one other reviewer mentioned - this is very similar to an older product from another game system. Oddly enough, the creator of this project wrote for that other system. Coincidence? I think not.
I had my local copy center print these out on good quality bright white paper, using a laser printer, then glued them, front and back, to a deck of Bicycle brand playing cards. A little pricey and time consuming, yes - but the result is gorgeous!
Rumour has it that this will also be released as a D20 product, at some point. I intend to purchase it for use in those games, as well.

Privateer's Bounty is an excellant foray into role-playing on the high seas. It's got an excellant story, which is engaging and interesting, yet still short enough to be played out in one or two evenings of gaming, depending on how deeply characters engage in role-playing.
All in all, a great scenario. I'd be very tempted to run this at a convention, to attract attention to the Savage Worlds rules.

Screenmonkey appears to be exactly what I've been looking for - a simple utility to allow me to run role-playing games over the internet, for my past players who've scattered across the country. I was looking for something that wouldn't involve my less tech-savvy friends having to install client programs, and I wanted something cheap.
The fact that I can also use this at the table, with my laptop and a spare monitor, to display a map or image for my players on the spare monitor, including the 'fog of war', is another great feature.
I like this program, and recommend it.

This entire line of products from Darkfuries is an excellant set of tools for busy GM's. Now, if I need a floorplan, or even part of one, I can just yank these out of my harddrive, print them off if neccessary, and I'm ready to go. I can come up with descriptions and such on the fly, but a well-thought-out or designed floorplan is not something I can improvise well. These fit the bill.
Thanks, Darkfuries. I await your next set of floorplans. :D

I haven't gotten any use out of the description of the powers, included in the package, because I use the Forgotten Realms, which already has its own pantheons. However, the descriptions appear to be complete, thought out, and interesting.
Thanks, Darkfuries. I await your next set of floorplans. :D

These castles all show enough variation, and different applications that they're all useful, and not at all repetitive.
Thanks, Darkfuries. I await your next set of floorplans. :D

This was the first Darkfuries product I purchased, and on the strength of this one, I purchased the other three sets of floorplans. I'm very, very happy with this - it sees the most use, because taverns and inns are so very, very common to my campaign. I've even given to using a few of the floor plans repeatedly, because the same people built them - the players are coming to understand cookie-cutter way-stations in the realm they ride in...
Thanks, Darkfuries. I await your next set of floorplans. :D

I have to admit I don't use these screens 'as-is': when I GM, I use a 2'x3' foamcore board with the various tables I need glued around the surface, where I find them useful. However, the tables from the Random Megacore Screen are some of the best I've found, including some I've tried to make myself. So, I print out the pages of the screen, nip up the tables, and arrange them how I like. And they do a great job.
Thanks for a great product, one that I don't hesitate to recommend.

A very cool idea. Our group of gamers is overrun with good cooks, but it's hard to get motivated, and often when we get inspired, whatever we've made is far too good (and expensive) for enjoying during an evening's session. These basic but very tasty recipes are economical, enjoyable, and labor-saving. Personally, a few of my friends could have used this in college, as a primer-cookbook, to impress girls with...
I'll definately share any recipes we come up with, once we've re-defined our gaming menus to fit this idea.

A good looking short campaign. I like the historical influences that went into developing this supplement. The book does rely on the readers ability to educate themselves on the war, the background of the OSS, and such, but I wouldn't expect much else from something like this.
I use an entirely different rules system than is offered with this book (Savage Worlds), but the conversion was easy. I also intend to use this with the Weird Wars setting, published by Pinnacle Entertainment Group (www.peginc.com), so I'll be spicing up the adventure with more 'weirdness' than is historical, but it's a great base to work from.
I'd recommend this, for a short campaign, either played as-is, or dressed up for a longer run.

An excellant supplement for a GM to use, when he's getting ready to run an Evernight campaign - That way, he doesn't have to 'share out' his EN book, and the PDF doesn't give away an secrets...esp. if he prints out the pdf himself, and withholds the parts the players don't need access to in the beginning...
Thanks, PEG, for offering this. I hope this is a trend for the rest of your Savage Worlds settings books.

A very interesting read - full of lots of good alterations to a standard ranger, as well as a good additional core class, to counterpoint a fighter. I liked the rules for called shots, as well as the campaign information for involving arches.
Useful, if you'd like some variety in your fighters, beyond another load of feats. It's also very handy, if you want to expand your combat beyond outdoor encounters at 30 feet...
