The Big Book of Maps for Tabletop Roleplaying Games - Volume 1: Fantasy Adventure
Publisher: Paths to Adventure
by Jacob B. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 02/25/2018 12:12:07

This is a fantastic resource for any fantasy rpg. The maps are presented in two formats: one is numbered for GMs to use, and the other is without numbers; to be used as "player maps"

The variation in maps is excellent. There are underground caverns, temples, crypts, village scenes, waterways, hedge mazes, and many more.

Justin Andrew Mason has done a wonderful job in presenting generic fantasy maps to be used in any fantasy tabletop rpg.

The Great Game [ICONS]
Publisher: Fainting Goat Games
by Jacob B. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 01/10/2014 17:30:49

One of the most innovative space/cosmic settings I have seen published for superhero games in quite some time, The Great Game offers a universe of possibilities for your campaign. Although written for the ICON superhero rpg, this sourcebook can be used as a reference guide to any superhero rpg with a little conversion know-how.

The Great Game is 53 pages long and filled with numerous illustrations from a number of different artists. It even includes a "snack cake comic" like in the olden days of comic-dom. Layout appears top-notch, and several pdfs are presented, allowing for easy printing.

The Great Game is filled with a number of homage characters and settings that give a nod to superhero comics from across the last century. The Prometheans give tribute to the numerous "space gods" of Jack Kirby. The Ghostlight Legion nods toward Space Ghost. The Bloodstone Protectorate mixes the Green Lantern Corps with the vile immortal mind of Ego the Living Planet. The Krobon Empire shows how much fun a "Flash Gordon" style setting can be. Even the Mech Centrality pays homage to the Transformers! How about an homage to Rom the Spaceknight and the Dire Wraiths? Check!

Even though I do not play ICONS, this single sourcebook has a wealth of knowledge that will find its way into my superhero campaign. Furthermore, the possibility for Fainting Goat Games to expand upon this book is as infinite as the universe. I will be sure to look favorably upon future space-based books from FGG, if they are of the same quality as The Great Game.

Black Tokyo
Publisher: Skortched Urf' Studios
by Jacob B. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 02/16/2008 14:16:56

Being a pseudo-fan of anime and hentai, I was interested in seeing what this book had to offer. Alas, I was to be a bit disappointed.

Black Tokyo is not very well presented. The writing is average, at best, and there are only three good pieces of art in the entire book (one of the good illustrations is a gun). Considering the huge amount of hentai artists available across the internet, one would think the company would have taken the time to acquire a better artist for this project.

The feats presented range from the mundane (giving bonuses to sexual encounters; similar to the BoEF) to abilities that give one's character full, off-scale supernatural powers (transforming one's sexual organs into weapons, mind control, and more).

The campaign setting of Black Tokyo reflects more on the darker and sadistic hentai series available -- Urotsukidoji and the more gore-tastic hentai series -- as opposed to lighter, "lets have lots of inappropriate sex" hentai film available. Rape and oppression seem to be the norm.

To be fair, one is able to customize their hentai campaign as they see fit. This book may provide some interesting inspiration for a hentai-based game. However, as a setting book and resource material, Black Tokyo leaves a lot to be desired.
