Sisters of the Aquarian Order

The Sisters are an ancient order of mystics that have guided humanity since ancient times. These mystics train there minds and have psychic powers that seem almost magical.

The book is divided into six chapters. Chapter one presents the sister of the Aquarian Order class. The class gets a few psychic powers and rituals. I don't know if this has been corrected in the pdf or for later printings, but the introduction has a few repeated paragraphs.

The second chapter describes the rituals of the order. These psychic rituals essentially work like spells and are very "witch-y" in nature (not surprising considering this is one of Tim's books).

Chapter three gives stats for a new weapon, includes a few pieces of equipment, and includes two new starships.

Chapter four discusses using the Sisters in your game and chapter five extends that by taking about the history, present, and future of the order (plus detailing the Sisters' home planet, Gaia).

Chapter six discusses the splinter Capricorn order and other heresies. I like the treatment of the alternate group and that they aren't really darksiders (in the star knight/void knight way) and in their minds are working for the good of humanity.

This book is a lot of fun. If you want to want to play a witch in space, this is your opportunity. If you're a GM the Sisters provide a great opportunity for mystery. I can't recommend this book highly enough. Get your copy today.

In addition to the map files you get a 20 page pdf chock full of goodness. While it doesn't fill your mega dungeon, it provides you with all the back story and charts of random awesome that you need to do so. At 7.00, this is a product I really recommend.

The Lost Temple of Forgotten Evil is a level 4-6 fantasy adventure by Kevin Watson. It is part one of the Hauntings of Hastur series. I own one of the print OSR/5E kickstarter copies as well as OSR/5E pdf and the Pathfinder pdf.

Having to do with Hastur, the adventure obviously has a dark feel to it, but it's definitely not too dark or weird to be added to a standard D&D game. The adventure could be placed on the outskirts of any fantasy kingdom with little work.

While I've not ran through it, I really like it. The author has included a great mix of well-balanced combat and non-combat encounters. While there are definitely times you have to fight, parley is important too.

A majority of the foes faced by the party will be human. This surprised me considering Hastur's involvement, but given the plot, it does make sense. I hope to see more eldritch horrors in part two.

The pdf's come with an extra pdf that is just illustrations and maps from the adventure. This was an excellent touch and I wish more companies would do this with their releases. I know the art style isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I think it works given the flavor of the adventure. I do want to talk about the portrait of Fredu for a moment. He resembles Robin Williams.Williams was a great man and avid gamer, so it's cool. I appreciated it, but it actually kind of made me too sad to read the adventure for a bit.

So the important question, should you pick up this adventure. I say most definitely.

If you're curious about the style, just out the free sidequest: River Crossing.

Eugenics Brigade: Villains of WWII (M&M 3e)
Publisher: Vigilance Press
by Justin I. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 02/01/2011 23:34:34

You can never have too many meta human Nazis and the Eugenics Brigade contains some nasty ones. I've not playtested them yet, but everything seems to be in order stats-wise. The artwork is nice and fits. The characters each have briefing reports that make them setting neutrel, but still leaves with great flair and background.

The product's content gets a 5 out of 5.

I'd give the layout 4 out of 5. The only issue I had was with the formatting of the stat blocks. There were spaces and indentations that seemed very superfluous.

I've loved all of the products released by ZNG. They have just the right mix of comics and camp. C7 is no exception.

The background on the band is quite an entertaining read. That???s a definite plus of ZNG releases, they always entertaining to read in addition to being well statted.

Deathklock of MTV???s Metalocalypse came to mind while reading this supplement and I wonder if that was part of Mr. Curry???s inspiration. That being said I think Deathklok would make perfect background music for a game using C7.

These guys will definitely be interesting foes for teen/college age heroes, though old rockers could just as easily face off against Circle Seven. <br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: Nearly everything. The band rocks and make interesting villains. I thought the roadie info was quite helpful and I love the HQ and vehicle descriptions.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: While it's a cool concept I wasn't a big fan of Callie, but she still a very interesting character.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

The Journal of Franklin Von Mookenstein
Publisher: Cracked Mirror Publishing
by Justin I. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 05/23/2007 00:00:00

The Journal of Franklin Von Mookenstein is overall a really good product. The write-ups are quite useful. If I have any complaint, it???s that I wish the product would???ve contained a few more original creations. As it stands, the book is primarily made of undead creatures from the D&D 3.5 Monster Manual. While this is great and quite useful it would???ve been nice to see some new monsters. In addition, perhaps statting up some iconic horror creatures, such as Frankenstein???s monster would???ve been cool. Still this book is quite useful if you plan on including horror elements in your game.

Also I was reading the introduction and I kept thinking of Mookenstein as a pastiche of Ravenloft???s Van Reichten who in turn was a pastiche of Van Helsing. <br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: Great write-ups and monster customization rules.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: I would have liked to seen a few more non-undead, non-Monster Manual creatures.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

13 Shades of Darkness 2.0
Publisher: Plain Brown Wrapper Games
by Justin I. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 05/23/2007 00:00:00

13 Shades of Darkness 2.0 is a good product with some rather memorable villains. As the blurb says it contains a variety of villains at a variety of power levels.

Upon reviewing the book I???ve found that there are only a few characters that I myself would (or have used), the Contessa (a Big Bad in my setting), Dr. Jack, and Captain Kill You. It???s not that the other villains aren???t well crafted or interesting; it???s more just a matter of personal taste I suppose. I didn???t think the characters fit that well in my setting. They???re too dark or just too strange.

That being said I still recommend this book to anyone looking for an interesting villain for a darker setting.

<br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: see above<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: see above<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Acceptable<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

This book is one of the best superlink books I???ve read. The book is well written and not just a dry collection of info. Plenty of stats and background, to be used in any serious supers game.

I???m looking forward to Powers & Perils #2, mentioned in the book. <br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: See above<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: I liked pretty much everything.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Date Added: 10/25/2006 00:00:00

I bought it yesterday and I like it. It's pretty campy, but still rather interesting. All of the characters are quite interesting, though Abra's definitely my favorite.

I love the idea of the Boneyard. I always thought it would be cool to have a dimension like that and I'm glad to see that other M&M players/creators thought it would be a good idea as well. <br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: The Boneyard is a great idea and a nice dark tribute to a certain film.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Not much, overall I liked everything.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>
