What I've gotten so far from Datastream, I've been happy with. It has been basically what I've expected. I calculated that the emails coming in would have to be worth on average 12.5 cent each, assuming the deckplans were worth $2.50 each. As of today I have received 17 emails. So I ask myself, has the content that I've gotten so far worth $2.13? I can only answer yes.

Some of the emails are less than the average, but others are worth more. If after the end of the month I feel like I've gotten my $5 worth, then I'm happy. I feel they have gotten better the more that I have received.

I've bought a LOT of PDFs. Many were not worth the $5 I paid for them. Some have been worth MUCH more than the $1.85 I paid for those.

Have I been blown away so far? No. Have I been thoroughly dissapointed? No. Things have been about what I've expected so far, but to me they are getting better.

There was one thing I hadn't expected though: The author asking for subscriber input. Phil Reed answers questions and encourages us to tell him more of what we want to see. Check out his feedback and questions at http://www.d20projects.com/

My style of gamemastering is that I want to spend my time on creating stories and making my players have fun. I don't have time to do everything, so things like Datastream fill in the gaps for me. <br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Variety of emails. There has been everything from robots, to cyberware, to opponets, to mecha components. And we haven't even seen the deck plans yet.

Feedback from the author. <br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Nothing yet.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Finally, a set of templates that is actually useful! Most books of templates contain templates that require you to create a campaign or adventure to support the new creature. The templates in the Advanced Bestiary are templates that can be added to any creature and not require a special adventure to support it. The templates are grouped into 1 of 3 levels indicating how much work they will take to add the template to create; 1 being the easiest to 3 requiring a bit of work to add it. There is also a section explaining the process for making templates. It gives clear guidelines for creating templates. Following the instructions will make the chances of you having to re-write a template a lot less. This book is a must for every GM. This is one of Green Ronin?s best books to date.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Almost all of the templates could be added to a creature and not have to be the big baddie. Templates are very useful. <br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: The heavy black border make printing out a couple of pages hard on the ink levels.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

This almost seems more art than a font. Absolutely gorgeous. The letters flow into the previous and next characters. They make a truly wonderful font to put on maps and hand outs for PC's. I have several players who figure out runes REALLY easily by counting occurrences and pattern matching. With the letters that flow into each other this will make that much tougher. The complexity and artistic nature of the font truly fits the draconic language.
