I love this. Now my inn can serve Sour Wine and Hydromel instead of the Mead, Ale, and Wine I usually think of on my own. Great product.

This is a good resource for almost any fantasy setting, actually. I can't wait to wield Fireskald! But I would like to point out this is NSFW and certainly not for children, as it contains adult references and words that are typically too strong for print. Children are not typically the demographic here on the onebookshelf sites, but they aren't kept out either, so a headsup would've been nice. I would have preferred seeing a euphemism instead of the F word. I know there is a way to rate some products as having mature content, and this one might have that, but I couldn't tell.

You are correct! Some of the language used in these names is crude, by today's standards. I had flagged the item as Adult, but apparently that doesn't do much of anything. I will note these concerns in the item description.
Thanks for your feedback and review! |

I might be able to find this on Google with about a half hour of searching--my time is worth 75 cents just to have it in my hand in less than 5 minutes! Of course there are some there that I had heard of, but quite a few I had not. This is one page that's going in my GM notebook, if for no other reason than to look up the clinical name for the compulsion to pick one's nose.

Most of these lean toward the horrific, and are very creative and imaginative. I can really see this being useful for any post-apocalyptic setting, but also any time you want to shake up your game by having mutant goons attack!

Petrified heroes standing sentinel, poisoned ale that spreads a deadly disease (but not the flux), corrupt officials and missing... parts... from the morgue... these are only some of the Rumors and Mysteries that had me saying "Oh, that's good. I can use that."

Man but I love these names! "Lars Shank," for example, is very evocative of a sailor/pirate of the unsavory variety... Nordic heritage showing, and wielding a homemade knife. About the lamest name I see on here is "Earl Sanders," and you have to admit that's still a pretty decent pirate name. I look forward to using this in my 50 Fathoms (Savage Worlds system) campaign.

You are not buying this product for the art or design (I read one section as "Not Able Encounters" before I realized the font style made it look like two words instead of one), although the map is more than usable. You ARE buying Spungo's Bar because it is 15 pages chock full of details about a seedy space opera bar with no system mechanics to slow it down. It easily tweaks into a seedy establishment anytime or anywhere (just replace the holographic dancers with real ones). Not only does it give great read-aloud flavor text describing the various areas of the bar, but there are vivid descriptions of the individual patrons, food offered, specialty drinks, and 4 adventure hooks that, again, are not limited to space opera settings. I would have liked Spungo's map on its own page for print-and-play readiness, but any GM needing it on a traditional 1" square map can easily transfer it to an 11 x 16 grid, and there is nothing on the page with the map that keeps it from being a player handout.

This is pretty much a "me too" review - the download file gives you 2 formats for the same design, making it easy to drop a finished-looking product into your desktop publishing software, then do a simple text box or two to add a Key.

For 70 cents, a lot of layering and work has gone into this file. I think it would be an interesting art element for a fantasy villain as a page/sidebar border or behind a character profile. Obviously this product is limited to desktop publishers.

This is one of the best "100" pieces yet from Fishwife Games! I'm more of a choose-your-own-adventure than d100 gal, and there were plenty of these to make a typical street scene more interesting. All are easily converted from fantasy to Victorian/Steampunk, Modern, or even Futuristic settings. That "old crone reading palms" could happen anywhere, even in Star Trek.

I purchased this for my 12 year old, who runs Faery's Tale, and she will be very happy with it. It's definitely usable and has at least a dollar's worth of information in map, hooks, twists, and NPC descriptions. The product could be a little better cleaned up: they appear to mix up "glade" and "grove" on the map key, and there are a few grammar errors and inconsistencies (they use both "pixy" and "pixie). I don't think these errors will distract from the use of the product, I just couldn't help noticing it myself.

I think the description could be worded a little better, but yes, this is a one page product with 100 common (or at least fairly common) household objects that can be used against zombies. Plenty of them made me smile with anticipation.

I'm always impressed by this volunteer effort by so many in the Publishing industry: it's literally a Who's Who of Savage Worlds licensees!

I have not looked at Argyle and Crew yet but this looks like it stands alone just fine. I like the simplicity of it, and the fact that it can be used in educational settings, or as a fun little game for the younger set. To be honest, I shared the link with my kid's elementary school guidance counselor--and you should too!

First off, I don't judge a game by whom it is not intended for. If you are a kid or offended by profanity, don't get it.
If you aren't... this game is an absolute BLAST!
Unfortunately, due to the nature of the game, it's hard for me to explain exactly how that works.
But I can explain some of the design elements that make it a great game and downloadable product.
For one, it is designed to work on a certain kind of preforated paper easily available at office supply stores. For another the game easily adjusts to alternate rules to fit the players needs. We played a normal game at GenCon, and then switched to the "poker rules" to make for faster games where players could join in easily.
Like I said, if you are part of the market, this game is for you.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>
