Old-School Essentials Advanced Fantasy (for Foundry VTT)
Publisher: Necrotic Gnome

It lacks automation. Some features like drag and drop seem to work. Also, none of the monsters have any art to them. This is why the module gets 3/5

Svärd och svartkonst
Publisher: Svartkonst

Varken bra eller dåligt, men jag är dock väldigt besviken.

Svärd & Svartkonst-regelboken är en väldigt välskriven regelbok där reglerna är tydliga och enkla att bläddra fram till i den fysiska boken. Eventuellt kan du använda dig av CTRL + F för PDF:en.

Men varför ett så pass lågt betyg?

Mitt betyg har inte satts på grund av hur reglerna är skrivna. Konsten är otroligt charmig och detta är ett högupplöst dokument som är skonsamt mot ögonen.

Varför inte 5/5? På grund av att det inte finns några bokmärken. Som utvecklare och utgivare måste man förstå att det som är lockande med PDF:er är just hur enkelt det är att använda dokumentformatet. Hur enkelt du kan hitta bokmärken och befinna dig just på den sidan som du söker dig till. I detta dokumentet är det dessvärre inte så. Inte ett enda bokmärke, inga hyperlänkar. Det känns som ett väldigt halvtaskigt inscannat dokument i otroligt hög upplösning.

Varför inte 4/5? Som jag nämnde tidigare finns det inte några bokmärken tillgängliga i PDF:en. Men för att motverka detta problem brukar man ju skapa sina egna bokmärken och anpassa PDF:en efter sina egna behov, men det fungerar inte här. Med tanke på att utgivaren eller utvecklaren har låst filen saknar du möjligheten att redigera eller ens markera text och spara det. Det är så otroligt ifrågasättbart varför de har gjort det på detta sätt om de inte inkluderade några egna bokmärken.

Detta känns som ett släpp som inte var passionerat, utan som om det vore något som de bara var tvungna att få ut.

Jag hoppas innerligt att utvecklaren ser denna recension och åtgärdar problemet omedelbart. Jag är verkligen genuint besviken, för detta är en så otroligt välskriven regelbok och ett så pass otroligt roligt spel.

Wow!

"The World of Greyhawk" book is just perfect. It is in such perfect condition. The scan is great, the PDF is hyperlinked, and the map is in high resolution. This is so good that I am completely floored! What a fantastic purchase! I highly recommend you pick this up.

The scan is ok, but it could be better. It is not difficult to read at the very least. The colours are also rather flat (thanks to the scan). Hopefully we will get a new scan in the future. But still worth the money!

The Things We Leave Behind - An Anthology of Modern Day Call of Cthulhu Scenarios
Publisher: Stygian Fox
by marco f. [Verified Purchaser]

Extra thanks to Youtuber Seth Skorkowsky for the recommendation

The product that I purchased was the watermarked PDF for $14.95.

Rarely do I as a dungeon master feel disgusted or scared as I read through notes for a scenario that I am going to run, this, however, managed to chill me to the bone.

A lot of love and care went into creating these modules and they are well detailed for keepers, so we can run these scenarios with ease. Some scenarios state that they can be completed within 1-2 sessions, which I do not see possible as there is so much going on in almost every scenario. I mean this book is PACKED with stuff!

Rarely do we see CoC adventures that work well in a modern setting, because usually, we, the keepers would have to say "there's no reception on your phone out here" to make sure the PC's can't use their phones for various reasons. In these scenarios, thas is not an issue. The scenarios are made so that whether or not an investigator has a smartphone or not, will not cripple the elements of horror that this module has to offer. It is fantastic.

The things that prevent me from giving this product a 5/5 are two points:

The artwork. The artwork in this book is sub-par at best. I do not mean to take a mean jab at the illustrator, but I do expect a certain kind of art style that does not make me feel like a normal 5-year old girl's face is "out of proportion. None of the "real", normal human characters look a bit too much uncanny valley.

Colour. This module is in black and white, which is a shame. Colour really helps to set the tone for keepers and players (when it comes to handouts.)

There's a keepers guide (for free) on DriveThru RPG called "The Mark of Evil" which gives you these handouts with colour and the maps are updated as well!

Get this module! It is really good! :)

Edit: As a respond to the reply:

Take notes ladies and gents. This is real service! Thank you for getting back to me <3

Thank you for the review, Marco, and we're glad to see that you thoroughly enjoyed the scenarios. As for the artwork and black and white book...well, it was our first. All of our books since this one has been in full-colour and we even have plans to release a second edition of "The Things We Leave Behind" at some point in the future, just to be able to update it to full-colour as well. We'll be sure to let you know when that happens (might be a few years yet) as it will contain a new scenario as well.
