The truth is that allergies and heat are still being very unkind to the rare Ballard Spotted Bruce, but I have something in hand I want to enthuse about anyway: The Book of Glorious Joy, written by Jamie Revell. I’ve had this in proof form for a while now, and am delighted that it’s finally [...]
I’m covering another book by Chris A. Field tonight, and there’s one more in the queue after this. (I was originally going to cover both here, but found I wanted to share enough of this one to justify splitting the post.) Fursona II: New Options for Anthropomorphic Heroes is 20 pages long and is $2.99 US [...]
Rather than reviewing a particular book today, I’m going to talk about how a setting I’ve long been interested in opened up for me in the “I want to run this, and feel I can” way.
One of my regular players, Lon Braidwood, is the biggest fan of Fading Suns I know personally. Other folks [...]
This was originally a True20 supplement and I enthused about it on LiveJournal at the time. Now I’m going to enthuse about it again in its incarnation as a Mongoose RuneQuest supplement. The Survivor’s Guide to the Age of Blood, RuneQuest edition, is a 185-page PDF available at DriveThruRPG for $9.96 US. The setup [...]
More Pathfinder-compatible fun today, featuring the ever-capable Owen K.C. Stephens’ Anachronistic Adventurers: The Enforcer, a 19-page PDF available from DriveThruRPG for $2.99 US. Owen writes his own introductions just fine, so I’ll quote:
The enforcer is the epitome of the modern fighting combatant, from professional soldier to citizen militia, mercenary-of-fortune to experienced insurgent, and [...]
Today I’ve got a Pathfinder RPG book from Paizo itself, one of the entries in their series of 36-page Companions, each covering a specific place or group in their world of Golarion. Andoran, Spirit of Liberty is $7.99 US for PDF from Paizo. (Paizo does its PDFs well, too, with heavy bookmarking and all. They’re [...]
Tonight I’m looking at an adventure for 4th edition Dungeons and Dragons, The Adventures of Frank Frazetta’s Death Dealer: Shadows of Mirahan. Some of you need to stop laughing, and some of you need to go fire up any convenient heavy metal or hard rock album to listen to while reading this. (In case you’re not [...]
A couple days ago, I burbled about a book for people playing intelligent but not anthropomorphic animals. Today I’ve got the logical companion to that: Fursona: The Definitive Guide to Creating Anthropomorphic Characters, by Chris A. Field. This is a 105-page PDF, available for $9.99 from DriveThruRPG. It’s written with the Pathfinder RPG in [...]
Today, Guide to the Ingressa, by Mike McArtor and a crew of contributors. This is a 98-page PDF available for $11.95 from DriveThruRPG; there’s also a 34-page freebie intro available.
What we have here is the foundation of what’s intended to be an ongoing collaborative cross-media sort of creative venture. The folks at [...]
Today I’m going to praise The Noble Wild, a D&D 3.x supplement by Lee Garvin. It’s a 168-page PDF for sale for $8.99 US at DriveThruRPG. The subtitle is “An Animal Player’s Handbook for Fantasy Role-Playing Games”, and that’s just what this is: a book about playing characters who are intelligent but still animals. [...]
