Mine all mine...don't touch's page

My players were in need of a little extra exp. to hit the next part of our ongoing game recently and I pulled this out to help fill that gap. Let me say the story is pretty sound for the size of the adventure and it fit neatly within the suggested 4 hour time frame. My group had a little bit of a struggle and I'm not 100% sure if it was them or if the adventure is just a tad too hard for 3rd level characters. (there has been discussion of trying again with different characters, so if my group wants to play it a second time something here must be pretty good.) The overall story can be fit into an existing campaign with only minimal work and the characters are pretty generic and truth be told I swapped them out for some faces my party already knew. Short adventures such as these are a live saver when the GM (usually me) has had life intrude and very little time to work on the game. I will be looking into more of these adventures to pad out my kit of one night stands as it were.

I am a long time fan of the Minotaur race. The twist here is they no longer need to be brutes and barbarians. The idea of an intelligent and calculating creature makes them all the more fun to play with, my players fully expected the typical Big Cow with an Axe and were unprepared but had a great time with these guys. They look to be a regular features in our ongoing campaign. The writing was crisp and enjoyable to read, I noticed no errors or typos that sometimes plague the smaller publications. All in all a good solid addition to a GM's toolbox. Highly recommend.

Okay, this plays fast, the rules are simple, and it's loads of fun. Throw it in your pack for convention season and waiting in line is a lot more bearable. Add the expansion for even more fun.

Having bought and really liked the players companion in this line I have long looked at this book. Well thanks to a little spare cash E-bay and a wife who knows Valentines day isn't always about flowers and chocolates (thanks dear) I finally got myself a copy. This is a great assortment of beasties, low level to high there were not any I looked at and couldn't see myself using. The best part is my regular gaming group has no idea what is in this book so anything I pull out is new and interesting. Stand outs were of course the Monkeybat and I really liked the Spiderbear as well. I look forward to future releases in the Shadowsfall line up.

Let me start by saying these are some really amazing looking figures.
The set itself is really well done, with an exception or two(the Dullahan is riding a miniature pony...or is a really bad sculpt)I got mine through a different distributor and got a factory sealed case delivered by UPS. The box arrived in very good condition so mishandling can only account for so much. My set had seven broken figures (3 off bases and easy fixes 1 missing arm a so-so fix 1 broken giant sword jury is still out on a fix and 2 so smashed they are a complete wash) I realize that there will be some degree of breakage but seven in one case for the price charged is too high. In every instance the broken figures had been smashed by the large figure which had come loose. Either a better grade of plastic (or a softer not sure which) or a better means of packaging is needed here. Sending figures back to Wizkids is a hassle I shouldn't have to put up with to get a complete unbroken set and is the reason I can only give this set 4 stars.
