Powers that Be: City Council
Publisher: EN Publishing
by Angus M. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 01/16/2004 00:00:00

It's an okay product for a set of pre-generated NPCs replete with pictures, but you may not find all of them (or their situations) to your taste. I know it will take a lot of work to move them into my campaign, but there are some good ideas in here nontheless.

En Ferreus Veritas: Rapier Combat
Publisher: Heyoka Studios
by Angus M. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 01/16/2004 00:00:00

An interesting little tome on fencing, dueling, and the like. Not quite as historical as I would have liked, but full of all sorts of tricks for would-be Duellists!

Sengoku: Revised Edition
Publisher: Gold Rush Games
by Angus M. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 01/16/2004 00:00:00

Can you ask for a better bargain? This book is fantastic for anyone wanting to roleplay in ANY system that would touch on Japan (or Nihon-esque) gamesettings, since over half the book is strictly historical information.

Very useful, very carefully considered, and really, really fun!

As a medievalist, I approve! ;)

The Book of Distinctions & Drawbacks
Publisher: Cryptosnark Games
by Angus M. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 01/16/2004 00:00:00

An interesting little tome. Needs a lot of modification for particular campaigns, but I think the meshing of the Vritue/Flaw (or whatever you want to call it) system with D&D is admirable.

Kaiser's Bazaar - Book A
Publisher: Mad Kaiser Games
by Angus M. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 01/05/2004 00:00:00

What a wonderful little volume! If you want more than just weapons, armour, and the standard adventurers pack, this is a great buy. Prices for fruit, wine, cloth, and all the little mundanities of life are here, along with price /ranges/ and ideas for/examples of particular shops. This will fill in any town rather neatly! If there is indeed a "Book B", I will be happy to pick it up.

Now just to fill in a city...

Character Customization
Publisher: Throwing Dice Games
by Angus M. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 09/09/2003 00:00:00

This is a truly amazing volume. As many people have pointed out, this is not a book for beginners, but if you have played D20 for a bit and feeling like doing some serious tinkering with the classes and prestige classes, this will give you all the ammunition you need to create balanced and innovative classes. It is not a fast read, it is not an "easy" read, but it is an incredibly powerful read and will leave you mind reeling with all the ideas that suddenly come to the surface!

This is the first product that I have left a review for, and I strongly feel it deserves high praise.

Deadlands Classic: Player's Guide
Publisher: Pinnacle Entertainment
by Angus M. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 03/26/2003 00:00:00

Deadlands is one of those odd games for my tastes. I know it is very popular, and I am happy that many others like it. To each their own, as it were.

What I find most odd about the game is not really the setting but the system. This is a real "bells & whistles" system. It employs dice, of all shapes and in goodly number. It also involves poker chips, in several colours. It also involves playing cards. At that point I tend to get overloaded. I prefer cleaner, simpler systems, such as "Over the Edge", "Ars Magica", and "Castle Falkenstein". The fewer the number of types of randomizers, the better.

On the other hand, I do have to point out my favourite aspect of this game -- hucksters. I love the thought that magic is really done through card tricks and that Hoyle's Rules is secretly a magic treatise! That is fun, clever, and really develops a character type quickly!

In any case, despite my not-quite-stellar rating, I encourage people to download this game just to see how different of a system it is. It may encourage creative juices of your own!
