This is everything you need as a player. A wealth of information on learning the earthdawn system. Written in clear language that explains things well. Good if you are looking for a fantasy game that actually has a reason for dungeons that makes sense.

Great module for Flashing Blades or any other Musketeer role playing system such as All for One and One for All. Characters are detailed, interesting plot line, and period accurate. Excellent chrome for En Garde games

Strays from the actual historical aircraft, but has some interesting alternate history variants. Good addition to Leftkrieg or Luftwaffe 46 games.

This is the second product in the WARGAMES line, but the third in the "Cold War Series". As with the other products, it looks at the period of time known as the Cold War. A period of time of escalating tensions in the world....especially between America and Russia. The first product was Defcon 1 and this was my first exposure to the era. I really enjoyed it and was eager to pick up the next product, Wargames I. I grabbed a copy and was very happy. When Wargames II came out I avidly snatched up a copy and poured over it.
Now my review.....
First and formost this is a setting book and so adds to the world setting more than providing a set of ready-made characters, although they are some in there too.
This module details, to use a phrase, the Superspies and Commandoes of the Cold War....Similar to agencies such as S.H.I.E.L.D. in the Marvel Universe. As such, the power levels dealt with are around PL 8-9 and not the four-color PL 10 that some might be more accustomed to.

I found myself marvelously underwhelmed by this product... The Guns presented here are almost completely unusable for player characters as they take 2 full round actions to reload and provoke attacks of opportunity on each round. They are too expensive when you consider that you'll likely have to carry multiples of these if you want to shoot more than on enemy per battle, they suffer -1 penalty to attack even with a exotic weapon proficiency, and they break easily. There is a small chance per die rolled for damage that you might get to roll it again, but the fact that you have to spend the next 2 full rounds reloading makes this almost pointless unless you have the ability to roll max damage 3 or 4 times or have enough money (and carrying capacity) to carry multiple guns on your character. The rules presented here make guns markedly worse than bows or crossbows and just keep getting worse as you gain levels since you won't benefit from iterative attacks unless you have multiple guns an...

Gnolls are one of my favorite fantasy bad guys, and this PDF traces their origins from a parody of a 19th century Welsh rugby team to OD&D gnome/troll hybrids to fungoid ghouls to cannibalistic hyena-men. That's right, gnolls aren't based on any known mythology, and have evolved from a 19th century satirical short story into a roleplaying game standard. An interesting look at how these creature came to be. Includes the original story, "How Nuth Would Have Practiced His Art Upon the Gnoles", and a lot of wonderful illustrations of hyena-men....

Interesting application of the formal concept of personality types, or social styles, to describe characters and the compatibility or clash between them in a way you may not have seen before. The discussions of an additional violence index and of (some) mental illnesses are more sketchy.
It looks as if it should drop in to a different game system with little work, if you want (excluding, obviously, the setting-specific alien species and their adjustments to personality type and violence propensity)....

Macho Woman with Guns GOLD Edition. Lots of eye candy. Good character creation system with numerous options. The game is well supported with modules and supplemental material. If you need a break from your reguler game session give it a try.

For a preview, this doesn't really give you much...unless you happen to recognize the game system it closely resembles - FENG SHUI!
...and that is not a bad thing. If Spectrum Games can bring the magic to the old west that they brought to 80s cartoons, then consider me SOLD!
...did I mention I love the old Feng Shui game system? And Clint Eastwood? Combining the two can't go wrong.
Still, this is a short preview with little aside from the most basic of mechanics, so we will have to wait and see....

From the same mind that brought us Barbarians of Lemuria, this is quite possibly the easiest modern game system since Recon. The rules are easy, the combat fast and furious, and it's inexpensive to boot.
Especially with the current nostalgia for the old 80s action flicks and TV shows like the A-Team, Dogs of WAR is a great choice for a night of guns a blazing.
I think the only bad thing about it is the art is nowhere near as good as the original Barbarians of Lemuria. Not even close. But we're not playing the game for the pictures. That would be silly....

This is, by far, the best fantasy roleplaying game I have come across in a long, long time. I was getting pretty tired of all the D20 variants, which all looked pretty much the same. Barbarians of Lemuria is a perfect blend of swords and sorcery, action, and story-gaming. Easy to make characters, easy to play, and a magic system that's perfect for its particular genre.
...now if only I can draw the rest of my friends away from the 4E, I would be able to play Barbarians of Lemuria all the time!...

Probably my favorite space combat game.
Easy to learn, quick playing, flexible and diceless!
This version is not simply a pdf reprint. It is in full hypertext and includes new optional rules and real space science as well as the game it self.
Slag works best for mid-sized fleets of small to medium sized starships. The system does not have the detail for a satisfying fighter duel. Supersized ships such as the Galactica or Imperial Star Destroyers while possible are a bit cumbersome.
Highlights for me include the dice-less (but not rock-paper-scissor) combat and the flexible design system. A range of tech levels and system types are included. The game also includes example designs so you can play right away....

The quality of the writing is good. Unfortunately, this is a very small product consisting of one systemless character description. As such, this is about the smallest detectable particle that can be called a gaming product, even less massive than the previously measured "short zine article" format. I object to such products cluttering up the product menu.

This is actually a cute and useful little game in a very compact form. I can't wholeheartedly endorse it over other options, considering the lack of campaign support, but you should definitely check it out if you are a fan of d20-style fantasy RPGs. It includes three core classes, point-based magic, and a number of monsters drawn from the computer game on which it is based.
