This programs is actually pretty cool.......while I personally dont use it for AD&D, so the generated NPC's and monsters are not particularly useful to me, the name generater (particularly the monster one) are invaluable when I want to get ideas. My favorite so far has been the giant flaming undead bear................made for a very memorable encounter.

Sometimes you really can have your cake and eat it too. That’s the best way I can think to sum up Fantasy Fiends: Kobolds. What else do you call a product that utilizes 4E layout and design elements in a 3.5 d20 product?
From the description, this book doesn’t sound like it should be as interesting or as useful as it is. A short book of kobolds? It hardly seems worth the effort. However, those who give this a chance will find a product that’s truly inspirational in not only what’s given here, but how simple and easy it is to use what’s presented.
Opening with a brief introduction on the society, combat tactics, and advantages that kobolds have, the book then gives us several listings for encounter groups in ascending Encounter Levels, each with a brief description of what the band consists of and what their tactics are, along with stat blocks for short traps. It really has to be seen to be believed, but the layout is exactly like what’s in the 4E books, but with the 3.5 stats ins...

While the book is clearly outdated (it uses AD&D rules), it still offers interesting classical horror characters and scenarios that can be employed in appropriate settings with little further work required. Converting the statistics to the current rules should not pose too much of a problem, either.
The scan is, however, of very poor quality, with the letters appearing in rather light grey against a white background, and thus rather hard to read and definitely tiring to the eyes. The text is also largely image-only, and can only be accessed as text in places. The book does come with chapter riders, so it is still quite accessible.
All in all, I give a poor rating to the book for the poor quality scans. Content-wise a much higher rating would have been in order....

There are a lot of little things that seem to fall through the cracks in the average campaign world, and holidays are one of those. Maybe a few GMs are heavily invested in the verisimilitude of their campaign world enough to introduce days when everyone takes off of work and celebrates or goes to pray, but for the most part holidays are one of those things that seem to get quietly ignored. With Curious Items: Child’s Play, Healing Fireball aims to introduce the arguably most famous of all holidays, Christmas, into your game world.
To be clear, the book takes a very low-key approach to doing this. Claus, the main character of the holiday, isn’t a demigod flying around the world on a magic sleigh, but rather is a kindly shop proprietor in town, and every year he hands out presents to good little girls and boys. Is there something more to him? Maybe, but the book leaves that in your hands. Instead, the main thrust of this PDF is what toys are given out on this festive day.
The book ...

What a great service and what a great product!!! This is what I have been waiting for for a long time.
The PDF scan is pretty darn good. As I have read in other reviews, yes, when printed out at 8.5 X 11 some of the text is slightly fuzzy. This minor quality "flaw" is pale in comparison to what you actually get. A PDF of both the Player's and the DM's references that you can print anytime you need to refer to the rules. For the price I have to say this is well worth it! I am very pleased, obviously.
As I put ware and tare on my copy I don't have to worry because I can just reprint any parts that I have damaged and replace them. Simply fantastic!...

What a great service and what a great product!!! This is what I have been waiting for for a long time.
The PDF scan is pretty darn good. As I have read in other reviews, yes, there is a little print "bleeding" that shows through from the back side of some of the pages and yes, when printed out at 8.5 X 11 some of the text is slightly fuzzy. These minor quality "flaws" are pale in comparison to what you actually get. A PDF of the entire book in color with some map references that you can print anytime you need to reference the rules. For the price I have to say this is well worth it! I am very pleased, obviously.
When printing the document, there is perfect spacing along the left margin for either a comb spine or a ring binder. I have access to some very high quality printers and binding machines and I have printed out a fantastic copy for myself. This can also be achieved at a quality printing and binding store. As I put ware and tare on my copy I don't have to worry because I ca...

This is a solid set about the legendary tribe of the Zulus. It shows quiet a range of different types of people: villagers, hunters, warriors, clerics and nobles. The set should be useful for any pulp or victorian campaign, which takes place on the dark continent, particulary in South Africa. You also get a bunch of typical african animals and the big game hunter of the group gets his Big Four (not Five, because sadly the Cape Buffalo is missing).
All in all I can recommend this set for any historical adventure or military campaign set in Shaka Zulus land and because of the animals even for any modern campaign involving tourists, poachers, rangers or a Hatari-style adventure.
I would also like to see a 'Massai Set' from Arion Games....

The book is just what I needed. I'd much rather have a file on my computer to refer to than have to keep track of a physical book. The PDF is very readable. Thank you!

I didn´t hesitate to make this purchase. I like the classic tales and legends and tell them to my son at bedtime. As a Savage Worlds gamer, I was excited to see the book as well.
After a nice poem, the introduction is about heroes (archtypes) and sets the mood of the setting from a players point of view. After that it comes to character generation, with a few new edges, arcane backgrounds and trappings. Those elements are nicely done, although I would have liked to see more edges and maybe a hindrance or two.
Next is a chapter on swashbuckling adventures and this is really the best part of the book, especially about the acrobatic maneuvers and alternatives for the agility trait test. They really add spice to the setting and I plan to adopt many of them in my non-sherwood homegame. The rules about the archery contest are well done and gives you an idea on how to run similar events in other settings.
The chapter about gear is nothing special and does hardly add any new stuff, if...

I've yet to find a Future Armada product that isn't useful for my gaming - or just for entertainment.
This set gives you a science fiction variant of the container ship. The baseline model is huge - much like real-life container ships. You also get a stripped down variant of the container ship which is quite suitable for a small PC group. There is also the Sherpa class which is designed to carry a single container.
The technology/style makes this very suitable for a wide variety of science fiction universes - I can think of easy ways it could fit into Traveller, Serenity/Firefly, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, etc. The various containers, each of which can be entered in flight, make for a high degree of adaptability - want a Q ship? Easily done. A bunch of PCs who want to be privateers? No problem. I can easily see customizing this for hangars, weapon batteries, etc. And it makes fine prey for a bunch of pirates as well.
The plans themselves are of first-rate quality with bo...

Mostly a useful survey of the hand-to-hand combat styles taught in the late Victorian period, represented by advanced classes and statistics for implements such as the sword cane and reinforced walking stick, and particularly referring to Sherlock Holmes as the cover suggests. Good treatment of a defensive fighting style (bartitsu) and information on boxing.
I'm not too happy about editing. I was disappointed with the Fencing Master and background information on savate and the 1 1/2 pages spent on fiction pitting Self-Defence Girl against Saucy Jack detracted from the product for me....

Even before I started reviewing Creative Conclave’s work, I knew that their “Lazy GM” series of books was aptly named. It’s not that GM’s are an inherently lazy bunch, but rather, the amount of work that any given GM has to do for even a single adventure is strenuous at best. Even if you’re running a pre-generated adventure, it’s no picnic to prepare and run, and if you’re running an original adventure, well…you’ve got your work cut out for you. Nowhere is that more true with making appropriate encounters. After all, the d20 System allows for incredible flexibility when advancing or otherwise altering monsters, but you better be prepared to sit down and work out the math in painstaking detail…for each creature. Here, however, Create Conclave saves GMs from such burnout with their Dungeon Beasts product, covering a rather wide variety of monsters from the SRD.
Here, we find forty monsters are presented, none of which are humanoids of any basic sort (that is, don’t expect to see troll...

For 4e this is an excellent expansion to the PHB. Finally the rules for animal companions. Most of the rest of this product, I could have done without as it presents the same problem as feats in 3.x edition. Namely proffligation of powers. The new Ranger build is probably the only thing that will get a lot of use from this product.
Liked: ANIMAL COMPANIONs for Rangers
Disliked: The excessive introduction of new class powers

This is an excellent product. The selection of creatures is fantastic, and it is fairly easy to find mundane challenges for a party. My players now post watches EVERY time they stop to rest in my campaign.
