Excellent for a variety of uses
Thu, Nov 5, 2009, 03:00 AM
This set features the TerrainLinX System, which brings a new take on modular design. The modularity does not only involve a simple and effective method to interlink the base tiles, but also a system by which wall sections can be assembled in a dazzling variety of modes, including multi-leveled structures.
Obviously the walls (wall sections and wall posts) combine to the base tiles (via anchors), bringing the whole to a very sturdy result - way tougher than anythins seen before.
The set does not only features elements involving a sewer system - a great variety of tiles with sewage disposal canals and wall sections with outflows and other unpleasant... "decorations" - but also tiles without sewer-specific elements and similar walls. Moreover, railing and balconies for upper stories linking and sections overhanging the lower levels add a nice level of extra detail and possibilities.
The set could be used to build a sewer system for an old city, but also a generic dungeon or even a ruined and deserted urban landscape just by using the tiles without sewage canals).
With a bit of creativity, there are many more opportunities, thanks to the excellent modularity and texturing detail of the single elements.
The non-PDF files are for automated cutting support accessories (Robocraft, SilhoutteSD), and anyone without these does not miss any element from this set.
   
Excellent start for PFRPG adventures

This brand new adventure module (and the very first one!) for PFRPG features a classical dungeon romp, with some wilderness travel added for variety.
The module shines in a number of different areas, from the overall plot, simple yet well thought and full of possibilities for roleplay, to the great layout, which is awesomely easy to read and navigate.
The goodness doesn't stop to these two points, as the side bars explaining quirks and stat-blocs are great both for novices and veterans transitioning to the new ruleset.
The characters are in for some great encounters, will they be fights, puzzles and traps, or old-fashioned good roleplay.
As a 1st level adventure, it also has a neat way of explaining why the characters are there and how they come to form an adventuring group.
The tie-in to the Dungeon flip mat is a great idea to bring more atmosphere to the gaming table (even if a map pack would have served better, with separate tiles for different rooms).
Can't wait for the sequels!
   
You need these little psychos!

Awesome set based on the revised, pathfinderized look for goblins.
Basic torch-wielding goblins are so funny that you'll want to print at least two copies of them, as they make up a very good looking bunch of the classical menacing, psychotic critters.
Art is crisp, detailed, and shows great consistency both with other sets relative size, and with the art you'll see in PF products.
If you're about to run RotRL, this is a must have. In any other case, this is a must have. :)
   
Great Value

Excellent set which includes a good selection of gnolls with different poses and weaponry. An extra hyena and a flind add variety.
The figures are crisp, with a distinctive "cartoony yet scary" look. Assembly is super easy, and both the novice and the veteran of papercrafting will have a great time.
Recommended on its own, or to complement the minis for the "Legacy of Fire" AP.
   
Grotto Goodies Galore!

This flip mat is an excellent resource for any adventure st in the underground wilderness.
The tunnels side, with its split areas and connecting passage/rocky bridge, is great for a spectacular battle or a tactically challenging encounter, thanks to a number of elements such as the pool, side alcoves and raised platforms.
Moreover it can be used as a wholly drawn-out map or just with each of its main areas.
The generic cavern side features rocky pillars, useful for cover, surprise attacks, ambushes and a lot more, and is useful for an endless number of possibilities.
The sturdy card stock and lamination provide a durable and good looking gaming aid.
Recommended not only for the Second Darkness AP, but for any climatic battle or side trek set in a cave complex.
   
Just great!

This set provides almost everything needed for a good wilderness scene/trek, including trees, boulders, a number of different tiles, and a selection of hill sizes.
Whether you need just a small map for a scenic encounter, or a full fledged battlefield for a skirmish or a clash of armies, look no further.
The modularity and print-on-need ensures that you have every piece you need.
The various elements are in high-resolution, and printing results look really really good.
Added bonus, most pieces from this set are very easily built even for a novice of the papercrafting hobby: basic trees and scrubbery are just cut-outs from folded and glued paper, hills are very simple boxes that require an effortless amount of planning, hills and boulders are a good way to get aquainted with more complex constructions.
It's really a great starting point.
   
Classics with a vengeance
Sun, May 4, 2008, 07:32 AM
This collection of classical nasties for RPGs is done in the style of the ecologies stuff from the old Dragon Magazine, and is an excellent resource for any setting and DM... ehrm, excuse me, GM.
While written with some references to the Pathfinder setting, the material presented here is quite easily adapted to any homebrew, and each 6-pages chapter is chock full of inspirational bits that can spur adventures or campaign or just an interesting encounter.
Whether you're a novice GM looking for some in depht info or an experienced one who can no longer see the monster for the stat-block, this one is for you.
Highly recommended.
   
You need a bigger boat

If you are even only thinking of a sea-based campaign, you just need this pdf.
A brand new feral deity with which you can scare the living daylights out your players' characters, along with general setting notes and tie-ins for inspiration, a monstruous servitor creature that can eat a tribe of ogres for breakfast, wicked magic items, a vile PrC for the inevitable bad guy, and some more.
Just be sure of having the Jaws soundtrack at hand when you introduce this nightmare in your games.
   
Must-Have Resource
Sun, Apr 6, 2008, 09:25 AM
In such a small Indulgence there's packed a real treasure for all the flashy fighters out there, for those who love spectacular fights bursting with daring maneuvers and cunning swordplay, for the pirates and swashbuckling fellows, and some more.
Along with a new and incredibly useful combat maneuver, a dozen of feats cover all the finer possibilities of letting your sword do the talking, from lunge to riposte to ACTUALLY parrying your opponents' attacks.
The excellent, compact historical notes give an added bonus and insight to the product.
Whether you are a player or a DM, don't miss this one.
