Brogan Spindle, the Copper Fox's page

All other screens never held a candle to this one, and all other 4th edition products (books, e-zines, miniatures, with the exception of dice) have got nothing on this kickass screen. Sturdy construction, easy charts for reference, and nice art really make this shine.

I see this book as pathetic compared to the 3.5 FRPG. This book lacks so much in both crunchy bits and fluffiness. It smothers flavor and crisp texture with too much rough fiber. It is sadly just a piece of crap. But don't worry: 4.5 edition is already underway!

I feel like there's something completely wrong with this book. Nothing about this waste was at all impressive. And next time, release the campaign guide with the idea that a player is going to read it. Screw the separate player's guide. Complete campaign rules is the way to go. Is WotC eager to burn bridges? Apparently so.

There is one thing that does somewhat fall short, but only in a couple of entries: the orc and goblin have no real crunch entries. Aside from that, the rest of the entries are all very satisfying. They got me pondering, and now I want to use bugbears and ogres like they're going out of style. Very creepy, sick, brutal, nasty stuff, and I love every bit of it. That Nick Logue is one twisted pup, and God bless him for that. The hobgoblin combat-geared alchemy sounds intriguing as well. Arsonist goblins do appear logically driven, and trolls that disembowel themselves to divine the future...just freaking awesome. Pathfinder is the true way for the future, and I love reading its work.

This adventure is nice for a quick start, but even starter adventures have price lists for adventuring goods and backup gear. The rules are sketchy, and missing some essential knowledge for DM's and PC's. The inability to actually select and know what gear you may utilize is just a crippling shot to the proverbial groin for everyone but the novice DM and players, and surely the least enthusiastic participant may ask, "What happens when I throw all of my javelins/daggers, or fire all of my bolts? Can I buy more? Can I spend the treasure I find? Can my dwarf buy some plate armor? May I use the greataxe the berserker was wielding?" Really, this feels very half-hearted. It's incomplete. Next time, give it your all.
