Heroes Of Hellas
Publisher: Power Glyph Studio
by Anthony H. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 08/11/2013 17:41:13

I purchased HoH earlier today and have read over it and, in conjunction with my BoL rulebook have created several Heroes.

To put it simply. . . I like it a lot. If you are looking to run a game in the Age of Heroes, or if you want to run a Hercules and Xena style game, this would be just the book you need. If you are looking for additional information for your standard Barbarians of Lemuria or Legends of Steel game, you will find useful additions within these pages.

Are there typos, sure, a few, but they really aren't that big of a deal. The biggest companies out there have typos in the products they produce.

The art is pleasing to my eye, I love the cover, download the high resolution map that the author has provided for free if you need to print out a large copy of the map.

The only thing I would suggest to the author for his next endeavor is to consider making a layered PDF where the purchaser can disable things like the background watermark artwork, and make it a separate layer from the page numbers if you do.

If you are a BoL fan, buy this product.

Moleskin Maps 04
Publisher: Chubby Monster Games
by Anthony H. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 04/01/2013 12:23:48

I am now the owner of all four collections of Moleskin Maps, produced by +Matt Jackon at Chubby Monster Games, and I wanted to take this opportunity to provide a short comment regarding them.

Mr. Jackson has provided four excellent sets of what appear to be hand-drawn maps (if I understand correctly, they are inspired by maps that he had originally drawn in his Moleskine, thus the name).

There are 11 maps in volumes I & II, and 10 maps each in volumes III & IV. Most of them are underground caverns, although there are also a campsite (possibly two, depending on your interpretation of the map, a small village and a farm in volume I, as well as some other non-underground locations in the other volumes.

Each volume is a pdf with maps, and a location key sheet for the GM to set up what the map is going to represent.

If you visit Matt's blog, you can find samples of his work, to see if you like what you see.

In addition to a nicely laid out pdf, each volume also has a zip file containing high resolution PNG files, which you can use in your virtual table tops, or print out as needed for your not so virtual tabletops.

The price is very reasonable on these, and I highly recommend them to GM's who need some inspiration for locations.

Barbarians of Lemuria (Legendary Edition)
Publisher: Beyond Belief Games
by Anthony H. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 05/01/2010 08:27:41

Barbarians of Lemuria. . . I have encountered this product somewhat out of order. I purchased Dogs of War a few weeks ago and rather enjoyed it, and received Barbarians of Lemuria this morning. I printed it out (I'm fortunate enough to have a rather old, but functional laser printer in my study that will output double sided content, albeit SLOWLY :) ) and started reading over it.

If you own any of Mr. Washbournes other products, such as Dogs of War, or the Barbarians of the Aftermath by Nathaniel Torsen, which uses BoL rules, and enjoy them, then you won't be in for any surprises here.

For those who aren't familiar with these products, allow me to summarize, because it is a terribly hard system to catch on to.

To perform an action Roll 2d6 Add the Attribute that applies Add any appropriate combat abilities OR Add any appropriate careers (if not in combat) Add or subtract modifiers as the GM sees fit.

If your result is higher than a 9, you succeed

(For those of you that haven't figured it out by now, I was being facetious about the system being hard ;) )

You get 110 pages of nice, clean 2 column text with system and setting appropriate artwork, most of it simple line drawings, for which your printer will thank you when you go to print this out.

The writing is clear and concise, and after a quick read-through of about 25 minutes, I was ready to start making the characters that I will use for major bad-guys with my group when I run this game.

I don't anticipate any problems with character creation, a couple of weeks ago, I sat four guys down who had never heard of this system (using Dogs of War) and they had eight characters created out in less than half an hour (and that was with interruptions from outside sources), and within 5 minutes of play, everyone was in the swing of things as far as dice mechanics went.

The pdf includes a decent bestiary, sample characters, a pantheon of gods, a nice setting (Lemuria, of course), and three short adventure hooks to get you started. There is also a beautifully rendered map (In color) of Lemuria by Gill Pearce, whose galleries I went and looked over on her website (do a google search for her name, you'll find it).

The ONLY minus to my review is a very minor one.

On the character sheet, in order to hide the page number and header text (I assume this was the reason, at least), whoever did the layout placed a 'watermark' style image behind the character sheet.

When printing out on a black and white laser printer, this looks horrible, and makes a good portion of the sheet difficult to read. This is not a big deal to me, since I often create my own sheet (Although I like the sheet in this one, except for the watermark), but I own the software that will allow me to make adjustments to this, or rebuild it myself, which I will probably do.

My overall rating is 4.875 out of 5. Well done, well worth buying, as are the other products by Mr. Washbourne.

SUPERS! Comic Book Role Playing Game
Publisher: Beyond Belief Games
by Anthony H. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 04/03/2010 05:44:54

I purchased this in hopes of finding an easy to use supers system that didn't require me to do massive amounts of planning and calculating on where I wanted to take the character (The way most of the popular supers systems do).

I was not disappointed. I read through the rules in less than an hour (probably could have been less but I had interruptions from my daughter and granddaughter during that time), and was able to sit down immediately and work up the numbers for a character.

I've not played yet, but the rules seem straightforward enough that I don't anticipate any issues there.

Simple, clean layout. I approve and feel it was worth the money I spent.
