Delta Green Digital Assets: Murder Board Pack 1
Publisher: Arc Dream Publishing
by Kristopher H. [Verified Purchaser]

There is no denying that there are a lot of cool assets in this pack.

The problem is: When I spend $15 on digital assets I expect an absolutely seamless plug-n'-play experience. After all, I spent the money so I wouldn't have to spend the time making them myself.

  1. These assets are unnecessarily huge and absolutely not optimized for VTT use. Any that I use I first need to down sample and save in a more optimized format (e.g. webp). If I were to use these out of the box, I'd need to upgrade my VTT hosting tier for more storage.
  2. They don't have drop shadow. Although there is a "helpful" comment in the instructions about adding it yourself.

These assets could've easily been reduced by over 50% in file size and provided with a shadow and no shadow version. If there really is demand for the hi-res assets, adding the optimized versions wouldn't have increased the file size by much.

Time to look into batch commands for GIMP. Not an impossible problem to solve, but one I wish I didn't have to solve after spending the money.

Disclosure: I was involved with the playtest of this game.

It has been a real treat to watch this game evolve through the playtest to the polished final product available today. However, I've got to say I've been having an absolute BLAST with this game from day one. Even the rough early versions of this game had immense playability and huge potential. Now though? With the incredible art, the refinements to usability and gameplay, the additional oracles? Solid gold. Do not sleep on this one.

The game plays great as a solo experience, but its equally as smooth running a GM-less, zero-prep game with a small group. Grab this game, get some friends together, and head out into the Forge for some sci-fi adventure.

The Great Book of Random Tables
Publisher: dicegeeks
by Kristopher H. [Verified Purchaser]

This would be a decent collection of tables, IF I thought I could use them easily at the table. Unfortunately, it isn't hyperlinked for ease of navigation, which is fairly inexcusable for a reference PDF. Worse than that however is that the PDF is locked such that I cannot even manually add my own. Usability is KEY and as it currently stands, I'm likely not going to get this PDF to the table and I feel like this was money better spent elsewhere.

EDIT: Hyperlinks have been added! I'd like to be able to bookmark certain tables, but the security features that prevent editing are still in place.
