The Genius Guide to Feats of Metamagic
Publisher: Rogue Genius Games

OK, but a little disappointing. I was really impressed with the other product I have purchased from Super Genius Games ("The Forgotten Tomb of Felgar"), and I had somewhat high expectations for this product. I have long liked the idea of using metamagic feats as a way of customizing wizards (and other spellcasters to a lesser extent) and giving you character more individuality and flair. In this regard, I felt the product fell short of it's potential. While there are a couple feats that I found to be interesting and useful (my favorite is trap spell), many seemed to merely increase (or decrease) some numerical aspect of the spell in exchange for a increased (or decreased) spell level. Some were simply rehashed versions of feats seen elsewhere. For instance, the feat chain spell is a tweaked version of chain spell from the 3rd edition complete arcane. Overall, not bad for $2, but I was hoping for more feats that would give my characters new ways to use their magic, not merely tweak the numbers.

(Collection) Favorites Bundle

This bundle contains nine items, all tied to CMG's Toeffrun setting. Some were quite good, others not so much. The most useful is the adventure, which is well written, and can be inserted fairly easily into other campaigns. The CMG PROSE system for NPCs is rather useful, it provides more detail to the NPC's personality and makes running the game easier. The Jalstown Locus (guide to the city from the players perspective) is also useful, especially as a backdrop to the adventure. The other items, however, appear less useful. The Toeffrun creation myth is very campaign specific; unless you plan to use the Toeffrun setting it is of little use. The 2 NPC classes, the country cleric and the Trundlefolk seem rather redundant. The county cleric is essentially the same as the adept from the 3.5 DMG. The Trundlefolk are an interesting people; they seem to be loosely modeled on the Gypsy (Romani) peoples - but the supplement is too short, and does not provide suggestions for integrating the people into a campaign world (perhaps another supplement on Toeffrun does this, but it should be here too). I'm not a big fan of random name generators or random description generators in general. This said, the "Lexus - Unlimited Titles IV" and the "Lexus - Dwellings Vol 1" failed to impress me, they seemed rather par for the course in generating bland titles for books or a bland description of a room.

+: Good adventure, well developed town.

-: Other products in bundle were of little use

Overall it was a good dealt for the sale price of a dollar, though would be hesitant to pay the full $20 for it.

Fantasy Portrait: Christmas Elves

The illustration is nice, but it is only the single image (for some reason I was expecting more pictures).

Pros: Nice image, free.

Cons: Only the single image (appears twice in the pdf, once with text, once without).

Elements of Magic (Revised)

Very interesting and flexible magic system. Allows players to create the effect they want without sticking to stock spells. The game balance is also pretty good, though I would recommend this for campaigns featuring this as the only sort of magic class, things become rather confusing trying to use this in addition to standard magic. My only complaint is its complexity; it can really slow down a game, and is too difficult for newer players.
