Utility: 5 (Very useful for any fantasy campaign) Artistic Appeal: 4 (Good computer generated map) Cost: 5 (A dollar)

Comments: Part of the Village Snooper supplement series, the Leather Shop is a fantastic tool for gamemasters. Not only is there a detailed map of the store (with detailed key), but also a list of suggested items for sale and even an adventure hook.

Highly recommended.

Very nice.

Utility: 5 (Very useful character for Mutants and Masterminds 3e)

Artistic Appeal: 5 (High quality artist representation of the character)

Cost: 5 (Under a buck is always a 5)

Comments: Being a player and gamemaster of mutants and masterminds, original NPCs are always appreciated. But this is not just another NPC workup, the Badger is a well thought out and usable character with a good background and is easily usable in any campaign.

Utility: 5 (Very useful as player handouts or for accent art on a website or blog)

Artistic Appeal: 5 (High quality artist renditions)

Cost: 4 (Good deal for the sheer number of quality pictures)

Comments: This is a stockpile of quality fantasy images. Each picture is presented in full color or in gray scale and are large. I highly recommend them. The price is up there, but you get 19 different images in two versions (color and gray).

Overall Score: 4

Utility: 4 (Could be useful)

Artistic Appeal: 5 (High quality black and white artist rendition)

Cost: 4 (Decently priced for a single black and white picture)

Comments: This is a black and white drawing of a half orc warrior with staff and sword. It is well drawn and useful as a visual aid in an RPG or for use as flavor art on a blog or website.

Overall: 5

Utility: 4 (Adventure for The One Ring system)

Art: 5 (High quality artist renditions within the work)

Writing: 5 (Very well written, clear and engaging)

Cost: 5 (cannot beat free)

Comments: This is intended as a standalone adventure for the One Ring system but can be used as part of a larger campaign. It was originally used as a convention module at the debut and was given a full production makeover. The art is fantastic and really enhances the work. The layout of the adventure is clear and easily followed, with italicized “read aloud” flavor text and well plotted GM insight text. This adventure is great for new players and gamemasters as well as veterans.

The adventure itself is quick, but not rushed with plenty of opportunity for roleplaying. The pacing is good, and the entire adventure can be played in an evening or can easily be extended to last several game sessions.

Overall Score: 3

Utility: 3 (Could be useful for small unit miniature wargames or RPGs)

Artistic Appeal: 3 (Computer generated floor plans)

Cost: 4 (Nicely priced. Additional materials cost could be an issue.)

Comments: This is a nicely constructed floor plan for a dungeon room. By itself, it has little appeal as a battle mat or flooring for a small unit wargame. It is meant to be a part of a larger dungeon. It can be used with other products as is as a supplemental room. Intended for RPG miniatures as it has the standard 1” x 1” grid overlaying the art. The grid itself is not subtle, detracting from the art.

Overall: 5

Utility: 4 (Usable as a standalone product, but better if used in conjunction with other sourcebooks and adventures.)

Art: 5 (High Quality. Color Cover with black and white interior pages.)

Writing: 5 (Integrated story within the crunch of the campaign.)

Cost: 5 (Very reasonable for a PDF of its size)

Comments: Catalyst Game Labs has a reputation for high quality products and this is no exception. It is a campaign for Shadowrun that sees the runners hobnob with the upper crust, something that most street trash gets little experience in. Loaded with the right amount of fluff to keep the gamemaster in story ideas for a long time, this campaign would be good as a standalone or as part of an ongoing campaign... especially for high-speed runners who want to run with the elite (class that is).

Highly recommended.

Overall Score: 4

Utility: 3 (Could be useful character or NPC imagery.)

Artistic Appeal: 4 (Good computer generated images)

Cost: 4 (Decent price for 14 images.)

Comments: 14 computer generated images of an Asian woman in various poses. Good for those wanting an image for player handouts. Provided in PNG format.

Overall Score: 3

Utility: 3 (Could be useful)

Artistic Appeal: 2 (Nice flower print on the border.)

Cost: 5 (Anything under a buck gets a five in my book.)

Comments: Why someone would need a d100 roll for Earth religions, I have no idea. If you did, this would be very handy.

Overall Score: 4

Utility: 4 (Useful for visual representation or player hand out. Comes in Pen and ink, gray scale and color.)

Artistic Appeal: 5 (High quality artist rendering)

Cost: 3 (Reasonable for three drawings)

Comments: One of the best Locathah rendition I have seen. The artist provides a black and white, gray shaded and full color copy. All three are high quality and certainly usable by DM/GMs as visual aides. Provided in TIFF format.

Overall Score: 4

Utility: 4 (Very useful for starship miniature wargaming with a lot of set up required. Variable playing surface size if made modular. Storage can be an issue.)

Artistic Appeal: 5 (High quality computer generated star field)

Cost: 3 (Reasonable. Other materials cost may be an issue)

Comments: This product is excellent for starship based miniature combat. Very high quality star field that is produced in a modular fashion. I can see where there may be an issue of storing the finished pieces, even if made modular as recommended. Total size is 4 feet by 6 feet (or 120 cm x 180 cm), but modular pieces can be assembled for smaller playing surface
