Endorsed by Vic Wertz and Paizo regulars, I had to take a look at Fire and Brimstone. All I can say is OUCH! Cool rules for hot rock.

Thanks for the review! You've been immortalized:

Quotes on Fire and Brimstone

(down at the bottom, there)

After downloading and reading all I can say is that 4th Edition is already here and it is Fire and Brimstone.

I'm unable to download from My Downloads section. I get the follow ing errors when I try:

Forbidden

Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. please try again later.

I think Gary fixed that. Try again?

In my case, the file keeps downloading and then WinZip complains that the file isn't a valid archive. Hmm. New one on me.

I tried to download this and a couple other free pdfs and it says they are corrupted

I got a message that said Compressed (zip) file is invalid or corrupt.

Also the same message for A Medieval Magical Society: Guide to Mapping and A Medieval Magical Society: Guide to Monster Statistics.

Try changing the extension of your .zip file to .pdf.

I frequently have that problem with some of the files.

What I've found is that the PDF is included in the ZIP folder, but it is not actually been zipped. Thus, I just copy the PDF file and put it in a normal folder.

That has been working without problem.

I actually used the Open with menu to access Adobe Reader and that seems to have worked. But thanks for the other idea

Speaking as a huge fan of hidden volcano bases, this looks to be a very valuable resource for those with similar leanings.

I loved your work on Sam and Max by the way.

It's actually a bug that Gary hasn't managed to fix yet. It turns out that most unzippers are smart enough to realize the difference, but the one built into Windows is very particular.

This is great stuff. A buddy of mine is a geologist and when he read these rules he was floored. He's never seen a set of game rules that talked about the effects of phenocrysts within mafic lavas. Blew his mind... Simply awesome.

Facepalm... BOO!

Funny, but not quite what I was looking for...

I love the incredible amount of detail. They actually devote equal space to the effects of lava on fire-immune creatures as they do to those not quite as fortunate.

How does this even cover fantastic creatures that would call lava their home? Those whales from Atlantis: The Lost Empire spring to mind.

I really dislike comedy products. I wish I could remove this from my download list now.

Sir, there's nothing comedic about it.

This is the first universally acepted rules addendum to EVER hit the gaming community.

This, sir, is an ACHIEVEMENT.

So you are saying that in a fantasy campaign it shouldn't be possible to survive falling in lava or that there should be creatures that are native to it? Lets agree to disagree.

Actually, there is an entire sidebar devoted to creatures that are immune to the effects of lava. So, it DOES deal with creatures who would be native to lava.

And the same sidebar deals with characters who would be immune to the effects of lava.

I don't see the problem here and I look forward to more products like this.

Underwhelming, to say the least, and mildly humorous, and I wasn't impressed - there's only two simple rules:

1) Fall into lava, you die. No save.

2) Fall into lava, if you're immune to fire, you don't die.

Erm... *makes face* Really, not all that hard to figure out.

Well worth the price then.

... I wasn't impressed - there's only two simple rules ...

I'd prefer to call it ... concise.

I agree completely. I am going through my downloads and verifying I have saved everything. I made sure to save this again also on my external hard drive simply because of it's usefulness.

Where else in RPGdom would you see such a coverage of Bowen's reaction series?
