Challenges and Rewards
Publisher: Bards and Sages
by Dennis K. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 04/02/2006 00:00:00

This product provides some simple but effective means to determine CRs and gauge rewards, making nice additions to the SRD. However, this publication is more of an essay than a book, IMO. The Cover, ToC, and OGL license take up 1/2 of the publication. You only get 3 pages of content. While, it is nice to not have pages and pages to read through in a reference; that is also partly why you buy a book-- for the flavor text. Then, just add on a reference sheet that GMs and players could print out and use in their games. In this manner, I feel that more could have been done to enhance the meaning, context and usage of the rules outlined in this publication. Overall, I would think this would make a nice add-on for bundling with another product or as a promotional. [Update Note: I've adjusted my Quality rating up to Acceptable and Overall rating to better reflect what I do like about the content, namely the suggested rules mechanics. I'll admit that I do use the rule mechanics in this publication for my games, so I am finding the content useful. However, I just can't shake off my disappointment in the value and presentation of the content. I also notice that the publisher has lowered the price by nearly half since I purchased it earlier this year, so IMO the value is better now than when I purchased it. (No, I don't want any money refunded, etc. I'm just being honest here.) Finally, I appreciate the publisher's reflections and feedback on my initial comments; I think that it was appropriate for me to expand on my initial review. Thanks.]

Creator Reply:
We always like to hear back from customers. Yes, the product is short, but when it comes to calculating experience for special circumstances, who wants to wade through 20 pages of text? The product is deliberately short and concise to make it easy to use. Other than the page count, was there another issue you had with the product, because from your first sentence it sounded like you liked the product, but your rating doesn't reflect it. We appreciate feedback we can use, so if you could flesh out your review a bit more it would be appreciated.

Probably the best D20 treatment that I've seen yet for mythical Greece. Good application of low magic with mythical epic. This book has something for non-magic players/DMs to mythic-hero players/DMs.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>
