A good set of common maps to be used. These are NOT set for 1" figures or any minatures of any kind. Once I got past that I ended up really liking this set.
Black and white will be easy on the printer. The maps are not cluttered with excesive detail which is a plus because I will be using this to write and draw upon the specifics of my campaign. This will be a good visual aid.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Acceptable<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

Good background music. A good deal for $1. Can place it on repeat and not worry about a choppy break when it starts over.

The floorplans help to give a general idea of an Inn or Tavern that players will enter. The squares are marked by dotted lines. This helps blend them into the background but gives you placement for figures. A good mix of different size inns and floorplan types.

This is perfect music to have on a low volume for background mood music. Its not intended for dramatic effect. I've found my group enjoys having music going on in the background and it adds to the mood without distracting from what people are saying.

This is perfect music to have on a low volume for background mood music. It is very similar in effect as playing the Diablo 2 game music. It helps set tone but can be a bit much at times with players having to compete for attention even at low levels. Overall its a good product.

An interesting idea though I was wanting more. Many of the cards are numbers that can be used in place of dice rolls. Some will be wasted if used for the d20 system as there are very few times to use a 4. The other effects range from pretty power to weak so a GM will need to weigh and balance each card before using. The size of the cards are smaller then standard playing card and CCG size. They are a little too small.
Where I found this product to be most useful was in giving me ideas to create my own cards and seeing what is balanced and isnt balanced.

An overall good suppliment and idea. Similar to how GURPS handles advantages and disadvantages during player creation.
These rules are best used for people who want to roleplay out their characters and ideas. It is not a good tool for adding abilities. If used for such you will get a one eyed, albino, with no friends, and body order that then has major benefits in other areas.

Good background music. Play it and set the volume to low. There are no sudden changes in music or feel from the music to compete with what players are trying to say. It adds a good mood.

Not sure if you were expecting the 1812 overture. For $1 it does the job of noise and music in the background to help set tone.
In most products I would agree with this reviewer that you should look at other company's alternatives before purchasing. But there are hardly any gaming music companies out there. Again for $1 this song is worth the price.

For $1 its hard to beat this. This series of music is good for background music. Try one and give it a test.

This is a great set of items to be placed in treasure hordes or curiosity shops in a town. They are not meant to be powerful items to give abilities or powers in the game. They add a nice touch of flavor and are perfect idea starters for new quests or adventures.

I had been thinking of trying out the 101 series for some time and this bundle got me to try it. I am glad I did as its really a good value.
It comes with 2 version: a color version and a printer friendly black and white version. That is much appreciated.
In some suppliments authors add in 2 versions of a suppliment to pad up the page count. Not so with the 101 series. Each entry has enough information to expand on and use in your campaign without goinging into too much detail to not fit into your game.

This suppliment brings back some of the randomness from 2nd ed D&D in mixing potions.
There is a chart that lists random effects of mixing potions. Each effect lists what happens when you mix them externally or mixed internally inside a drinker.
A few new feats are included and fills out this nicely. I am really liking this Forbidden Aracana series. It adds a few touches to rules that dont warrant a full blown 64+ page book at it is at a good price.

Performance Magic adds in basic ideas for entertaining people through magic. It adds some new spells and new magic items but also goes over standard spells and how they can be used for purposes other then the obvious.
This will help to give new points of view on how to use spells and classes.
