It ends with a OGL and credits. (1 pages) Closing thoughts. Layout and editing where both good, art is a mix of color and black and white. It is fair to good. The spells where mostly inventive and interesting, though there was a couple I had some disagreements on. Mostly the levels, such as Char Lash is level 1 for wiz, 2 for bard and inquisitor and 3 for witch. For a level 1 it is good, for a level 2 is solid, but I think it would be to weak for a 3rd level spell. Other than that I really don't have anything negative to say. So what's my rating? I am going to give this one a 4.5 review. Trust me, I'm a Succubus. 101 Alternate Racial Traits by Rite Publishing This product is 17 pages long. It starts with a cover and credits. (2 pages) Alternate Racial Traits (12 pages)
There is also alternate stats for a half-drow and half-orc presented in the books as well. These other two stats make for 101 traits. A couple of the ones I liked.
It ends with a OGL, Ads. (3 pages) Closing thoughts. The art ranges from meh to pretty good, most of it is color. One piece is black and white. Layout and editing was pretty good I did notice a couple of spots, one where there was no space between paragraphs, but nothing major. There was a couple of traits I didn't care for or just seemed odd. Like one where a elf has naga blood, or a gnome with lurker blood. Other might like them, but I didn't care for a few of them like that. Taken a whole though I liked the majority of them. Many of them can be used with just a fluff change for other races. If you are looking for more traits this is worth picking up. So what's my rating? I am going to give it a 4. It was good but I did notice a couple of minor errors and while most of it was good, there was a few I was meh about and a couple I didn't like. Trust me, I'm a Succubus. ![]() Faces of the Tarnished Souk: The Ghost-Light that Dreamed, Gozutozawa (PFRPG) PDFRite Publishing![]() Our Price: $1.99 Add to CartAnother top notch addition to the series.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Faces of the Tarnished Souk: The Ghost-Light that Dreamed, Gozutozawa by Rite Publishing This product is 16 pages long.

The section ends with two new feats, rules for implanting ioun stones, 2 new magic items, 10 new ioun stones, the two new templates, archetype, and 3 new evolutions. It ends with a OGL, Ads. (3 pages) Closing thoughts. Artwork is black and white and fair. Layout and editing was very good. The NPC concept and history are very nice. Totally different with a nice new twist. The extra stuff is all well done and interesting. I really have nothing negative to say about this product. If you are fan of the series or just would like a new interesting NPC to use, then I recommend picking this up. So what's my rating? Well for lack of having anything negative to say I am giving it a 5 star. Trust me, I'm a Succubus. 30 Character Motivations by Adamant Entertainment This product is 12 pages long. It starts with a cover. (1 pages) Introduction (2 pages)
Motivations (8 pages)
It ends with a OGL. (1 pages) Closing thoughts. The layout and editing are ok, the artwork is color and fair. The pages have a gray jagged torn parchment look. Which looks nice but makes it less print friendly. As for the motivations for the most part they match pretty well to what you would expect. Some I disagreed with but all and all not bad. Let me say I like the idea of this product. Now with that said I did have a few issues. One the negatives are helpful too. I kinda would have rather them have more negative aspects to them. Also they are not really balanced I thought some of them was much stronger than some of the others. The weak ones I would say is worth a feat likely. The strongest though I would say is worth three feats. Such as one of them gives you a +2 luck bonus to all saves. So I liked the idea but felt it needs some work and I would have liked to have seen it done slightly differently. Maybe for each positive motivation you had to take a negative one to counter balance it. I think that would have been better personally. All and all it's not but a bit pricey. So if the idea interest you it is worth picking up. So what's my rating? I am going to have to give it a 3 in the end. It is a neat idea and the RPing idea's it helps provide and character fleshing out I felt was worth half a 3 star. Trust me, I'm a Succubus.

It ends with a OGL, campaign notes pages and a blank page. (7 pages) Closing thoughts. The art is black and white, ranges from meh to fair. Layout and editing is pretty good. I didn't notice a few mistakes here and there but not to bad. This is a basic location book with some adventure idea's. With the OGL, notes(and I am not sure why there is 5 pages of campaign notes pages to be printed it, it is a PDF the page could be printed as much as wanted) The book is only 21 pages long with only 19 of that actual content. The book is pretty decent but feels incomplete. It could have really used a few more pages honestly. It's a nice start all and all though, so maybe they will do a follow up product on it. So what's my rating? Well for the 3.99 price I am going to have to give it a 3 star. If you are looking for a basic setting and adventure idea's it's not bad. Trust me, I'm a Succubus. 101 0th Level Spells by Rite Publishing This product is 24 pages long. It starts with a cover and credits. (2 pages) Spell Tables (3 pages)
Spells (16 pages)
It ends with a OGL, Ads. (3 pages) Closing thoughts. The art is black and white, ranges from fair to good. Editing and layout where both very good. There was a few spells I thought where a little silly, like Pants that just removes a targets pants. Some that was cute but of little use like Smoke Image, but these are cantrips and I liked the vast majority of them and even the ones I didn't care for was more a matter of taste than anything wrong with the spell. I really have nothing negative to say, really my biggest issues was with the Create Snow spell and how they worded it. So whats my rating? Well going to go with a 5 star. If you like cantrips you will love this and if you liked the rest of the series I recommend it. Trust me, I'm a Succubus. Midgard Northlands by Open Design This product is 114 pages long.

Next it gets into the classes. They get the following new.
There is some expanded skills on what all you can do with them, which is followed by new feats. There is 15 achievement feats, 9 combat feats, 6 general feats, 1 item creation feat, 10 meta magic feat, 5 monster feats, 2 team work feats and 38 traits. After that it gets into new equipment. There is 3 new armor, 11 new weapons, and 35 new varies equipment. Chapter Four (27 pages)
Chapter Five (12 pages)
Chapter Six (14 pages)
It ends with a OGL, full page map and back cover. (3 pages) Closing thoughts. The artwork is black and white and very good. Editing and layout was very good. I did notice a couple of spots here and there but that’s to be expected in a book this size. Everything about this book was well written and interesting. If you are looking for a new campaign setting then this book has what you need, if you are looking for information to add to a existing setting to cover the northlands of a campaign world then again all you need is here. Or even if you are just looking for idea's for adventures and characters from such a environment. I really have nothing negative to say about this, other than to say this book does for the northlands what Tales of the Old Margreve did from Grim Tales folklore forests. I highly recommend this book if the subject interest you in the slightest. So what's my rating? Well despite a couple of minor editing/layout errors this book is outstanding. So I am going to give it a 5 star review. Trust me, I'm a Succubus. Creature Codex 2: Infernal Index by Demiurge Press This product is 9 pages long. It starts with a cover, credits, and ToC. (2 pages) Monsters (6 pages)
It ends with a OGL. (1 pages) Closing thoughts. There is two versions a color version and a black and white version for ease of printing. Editing and layout are good. The art range from subpar to ok. Really the only art I really didn't like was the Div one, the rest was ok. They was all interesting and pretty cool, I especially like the Kyton, Baboulas, hands down the best of the new monsters. If you are looking for some new Devils, Demons, or Daemons to spring on your players then this book is worth the price. So what's my rating? I am going to give it a 4 star, it is good but felt it could have been even better.

Stat Blocks (6 page)
There is also two new feats in this section, both used by her. There is also three new magic items. Once is just a elixir, the other two are very cool. A shadow ring and snake bracer. Bonus Stuff (3 pages)
It ends with a OGL and ads. (3 pages) Closing thoughts. The artwork is black and white, ranges from ok to very good. Editing and layout are top notch. I didn't notice any obvious errors. This is a very complex and interesting NPC both from a fluff and crunch stand point. It is well written and interesting personality for her, as is the stat blocks complex and interesting. The two new templates where nice, I especially like the Spellpowered one, the feats where good. The magic items where also well done, but that does bring me to one of my two critics of the product. The shadow ring implies it can cast deeper darkness, but it doesn't flat say this. The powers on the ring should have been made more clear. Which bring me to my last critic, the Amalgan template. A clever template but I found it a bit hard to wrap my head around the first time reading it. So what's my rating? Well this is perhaps the best of the NPC's in the series so far and while some of the bonus stuff could have been more clear, the NPC was perfect. So I am going to give it a 4.5 star review. I almost went 5 stars but felt the ring especially should be cleared up a little to earn a perfect rating. Based on the NPC alone and no bonus stuff then I would give it a 5 star. Trust me, I'm a Succubus. 30 Intelligent Magic Items by Rite Publishing This product is 21 pages long. It starts with a cover and credits. (2 pages) Introduction (1 ½ pages)
30 Magic Items (14 ½ pages)
It ends with a OGL and 2 pages of ads (3 pages) Closing thoughts. The layout and editing was very good, it is nice borders. The artwork is a mix of black and white and color. It ranges from meh to ok. The items are all well done, with interesting histories, personalities and desires of their own. The worst of the items are just merely interesting, while the best ones make you want to figure out a way to get them in the hands of your PC's or NPC's. Really other than the art work which I wasn't a fan of, I have nothing even remotely negative to say about this product. If you want some interesting intelligent magic items for your game then pick this up, you won't be sorry. So what's my rating? Well artwork aside there is nothing at all wrong with this and the artwork doesn't distract from the product. Though art of each item would be been nice. So I am giving this a 5 star. I liked it that much I am forgoing my normal half star deduction I would give for the lack of art for each item. Trust me, I'm a Succubus. ![]() Book of Friends and Foes: Under the Mountain (PFRPG) PDFJon Brazer Enterprises![]() Our Price: $2.00 Add to CartFive NPC's for use in the Underdark.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Book of Friends and Foes: Under the Mountain by Jon Brazer Enterprise This product is 8 pages long.

It ends with a OGL. (1 pages) Closing thoughts. The editing and layout was pretty good, could have used a little more polish, I did notice a few grammar and spelling errors. The artwork is black and white and ok. The background on the NPC's are ok, there is a few hooks to use them as foes or friends all for the most part. But none of them stood out as something that really grabs you either. If you are looking for some fully stated NPC's to keep around handy for use. Then this is worth picking up. So what's my rating? I am going to give this one a 3 star. Worth the cheap price but could have used more work.

It ends with a OGL. (1 pages) Closing thoughts. Layout and editing are good. I didn't notice any obvious errors. The art work is black and white but very good. The five monster are pretty interesting, I thought the Blightdaemon and Death Adept was the most interesting. Taken as a whole the monsters are solid and so is the product. It gives exactly what it promises with very good artwork and no obvious flaws. It is a very clean PDF with no borders so very print friendly. If you are looking for a few new monsters then this is worth the buck fifty asking price. So what's my rating? I am going to give it a 5. I didn't notice any obvious errors and while the monsters weren't great they was good, but the artwork was very good which honestly is almost worth buying just for the art. Trust me, I'm a Succubus. The Inquisitors Edge by Open Design This product is 16 pages long. It starts off with a cover, credits, and ToC. (2 pages) Next it jumps into introduction and examining of the Inquisitor class. (2 pages) Feats (6 pages)
Cautious Trip – you can't fall prone while doing a trip attack.
Character Builds (4 pages)
It ends with a OGL and ad. (2 page) Closing Thoughts. Editing and layout was nice, the only artwork is on the cover which is used once more inside the book. The borders are different, I am not sure what they are suppose to be, they look ok but cut down on how print friendly it is. Most of the feats can be used by anyone, many are ranged feats, some casters and some teamwork feats. Only a few are inquisitor only, though a few of them are more geared for them. Some of the feats where very good, some where pretty good, a few I just didn't care for, and a couple I am not sure anyone would take. Gotcha being a good example, if you have a free hand and a ally is in reach, you can attempt as a immediate action to keep them standing, instead of being knocked prone/pushed/pulled etc. It is not a bad idea but honestly I just don't see anyone taking the feat when there are so many better ones. The builds are pretty cool, though while I like the Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing a lot. It is really more suited as a NPC build than a PC build for most campaigns. Which makes it less useful as advice for a PC build. So what's my rating? I am a bit torn on this one. What is good is mostly very good, but there is a few things that are not up to par on what I have come to expect in the series. So I am going to settle on a 3.5 star. Good and worth the money but could have used a little more work.

It ends with a OGL. (1 pages) Closing thoughts. It has decent black and white art works. The layout and editing where pretty good. Other than the nice borders it is fairly plain and print friendly. As for the feats, a few was pretty cool, some was meh, but most was ok, not great and not bad. Same can be said for the spells. As for the societies I think that is a bit of a not as advertised. I was expecting information about societies not Archetypes and PrC's. They wasn't bad, they just wasn't what I was expecting. The Devout Healer and Kings Eye are both pretty good, as is the Hidden Sniper, but I was pretty meh about the Monks of the Green Leaf. All and all it is a solid product. So what's my rating? I am going to give it a 3 star. It is a solid book that is worth the money if you are looking for feats or spells to help with the Kingdom Building and or Mass Combat. It is less useful to others.

Spell Descriptions (22 pages)
It ends with a OGL and 2 pages of ads. (3 pages) Closing thoughts. The layout and editing where good, the art was good. It is a very nice looking book like you have come to expect from Rite Publishing. I know I didn't make a list of spells I liked and ones I didn't this time. Mostly because there is really no spells I felt had issues, beyond just personal preference. While most of the spells where just really well done and many inspired me to think of adventure idea's and the like. I honestly had lower expectations for this product. I mean I thought higher level spells would be harder to do, I was wrong. Rite Publishing did a fantastic job on this one. So what's my rating? Well unable to really find any flaws and with how well done the spells are, I am giving it one of my rare full 5 star ratings. I will note I am not a huge number cruncher especially for higher level stuff, but I didn't notice any issues. Trust me, I'm a Succubus Players Options: Flaws by 4 Wind Fantasy Games This product is 11 pages long. It starts with a cover and credits. (2 pages) Flaws (7 pages)
Many of the flaws will require a GM to keep extra notes to make sure the players play up the flaws correctly, some more so than other. Some require no extra book keeping but most do. I personally like the idea of flaws and I think it adds something to the game and it more than worth the little extra work required to use them. It ends with a OGL and back cover. (2 pages) Closing thoughts. There is almost no art at all, the two black and white images it has range from good to meh. The meh one I have seen before many times. Layout and editing are good. As I mentioned before I like the idea of flaws and this does well with it. If you don't mind a little extra book keeping then these will be nice options for most games. So what's my rating? I am going to give this one a 4 star review. I do have a couple of critics, one I would have liked a quick reference table like how feats are done for the flaws. It does have bookmarks but a table would have been very hand for quick reference. The other critic is I didn't like all the flaws and I am not sure all of them are equal. They are not bad but there was a couple I didn't think as bad as most and a couple I thought was a little worse than most, but all and all not bad. Trust me, I'm a Succubus.

This is mostly a free showcase to show what the company Spes Magna can do. Up until now it was only as a email, now you can get it this one as a PDF. I must say I really like the PDF format and hope all future and honestly all the old ones eventually get turned into PDF's. It makes them much easier to store and use. So what's my rating? I am going to give this one a 5 star review. I mean it is free stuff, that is well written, good editing and layout and decent art. There is no reason at all to not pick this up.

There is not a ton to say about the product. it gives exactly what it says it will give in the title. The abilities where well done and ranged from fairly interesting to pretty cool. For the price if you are looking for some cool special magical abilities that really fits dragon armor then it is worth the buck to pick it up. So what's my rating? I am going to give it a 4, it gives what it claims and does it well.

In addition to her stat blocks we also get. Two new weapon properties, Weightless and Reshaping. Four new magic items.
There is also three new feats.
It ends with a OGL and 2 ads. (3 pages) Closing thoughts. The art is black and white and good. Layout is good as is editing. There was a couple of minor errors. The stat blocks are well done and the new items and feats where very nice. It is also very nice to see a 3pp company supporting another one. I am not well versed in psionics though, so I can't comment much on that part of the product. The background was interesting on her and I hope they eventually do a product about the merc company. So what's my rating? I am going to give this one a 4.5 star review. It is very well done and the feats and items where very nice. If you are looking for stat blocks or a new NPC to add to Coliseum Morpheuon then this is worth picking up. Trust me, I'm a Succubus. Advanced Options: Cavaliers Orders by Super Genius Games This product is 9 pages long. It starts with a cover and intro. (1 pages) Cavalier Orders (6 pages)
New Feats (1 page)
It ends with a OGL. (1 pages) Closing thoughts. There is not a lot of art, a couple of pieces like what is on the cover, some black and white weapons and then shields or symbols of each of the orders in the book. Editing and layout was well done. The orders where interesting and well done for the most part. I personally like the Order of the Rose the most, the one I was least impressed by was the Secret Flame. It wasn't bad but just didn't have as much of a “it” factor as the other orders. I didn't notice any obvious errors and things seem pretty well balanced and fitting. So whats my rating? I am going to settle for a 4 star review. It is well done, but a couple of the orders where not wholly original. Glaive and Skull, while well done, also was kinda expected. I would have liked this book to have had a couple of more orders and them to be a bit more different or out of the norm myself. Either way if you want some more order options for your cavalier it is worth picking up. Trust me, I'm a Succubus. At the Heart of Evil by Headless Hydra Games This product is 16 pages long. It starts with a cover and Credits. (2 pages) Introduction (2 pages)
The Old Keep (11 pages)
It ends with a OGL. (1 pages) Closing thoughts. The artwork is simple black and white, the maps are simple but well done. The encounters could be very dangerous in a couple of spots, which makes this adventure possible very hard. Or things might be very easy depending a bit on the makeup of the party. The adventure is undead heavy. Really there is two parts to this adventure and this is only the first part. I am assuming their will be a followup adventure to this free adventure for the next part. All and all this is fairly well done, there is not bookmarks or statblocks. I did have one critic, there is a woman the PC's can save and if they do they can earn a reward. Only it doesn't say what or even offer suggestions what the reward should be. I think it should have offered suggestions. The adventure could be used stand alone with out the second part fairly easy with only a few minor tweaks. So what's my rating? Well it is free, but it is a fairly simple straight forward adventure. I recommend picking it up, but I am going to rate it with a 4 star review. A nice but pretty simple straight forward adventure that could have used a little more polish. Trust me, I'm a Succubus. ![]() Ancient Warriors: Way of the Ninja (PFRPG) PDFNecromancers of the Northwest![]() Our Price: $2.49 Add to CartA spell-less ninja![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Way of the Ninja by Rite Publishing This product is 22 pages long.

Alternate Class Features (5 pages)
Equipment (4 pages)
It ends with a OGL and back cover. (2 pages) Closing thoughts. The artwork is fair a lot of it is older style art. Layout and editing was good, the parchment look while pretty for the pages does make it not very print friendly. I am sure some noticed the full BaB and the d8 hp. I know that breaks the PFRPG setup, but I consider that a rule of thumb and to confining. So I am in favor of some classes breaking that mold from time to time. The Alternate class feature section was pretty good, the equipment was nice, though considering ninja are notorious for all there gadgets I think this section should have been a lot bigger. Which brings me to the class, it is a spelless ninja which I like. I thought the schools where well done and I would have like to have seen them expanded a bit and the ninja allowed to learn more than one, in place of some of their other abilities I will get to. I did not care for the ambush/combat awareness tree of abilities. The first one was ok but I didn't care for the following ones. To me it seemed a bit powerful that they ended up always getting a surprise round even when there shouldn't be one and added in the bonus hit and damage they do, I felt made them to strong. Deadly strikes I would have tweaked. Made the first one stagger and make all of them possible cause bleed damage but only be usable when striking a enemy that is unaware of them. Adding some bonus to hit and damage as well, more of a assassins strike. So whats my rating? Well I really wanted to love this class, I do like it but feel it needs some more work and polish. I have always prefer the non-spell casting ninja as class. So for what it is and the fact there is not print friendly version I am giving it a 3 star review. Trust me, I'm a Succubus.

Crafting tattoo's is the next, using the crafting skill to make them, charts for cost, DC's based on size of tat and the max size a tattoo can be based on the size of the creature getting it. It also has a small section on how to take care of a tattoo. Afterwards it gets into body art, which is branding, piercing, scars etc. After that we get into equipment section. This has all the gear one would need to make tattoo's and the like. The final part of this section gets into removal of tattoo's. Magical Tattoo's (16 pages)

It ends with a OGL, back cover and 1 ad. (4 pages) Closing thoughts. The artwork is black and white and ranges from pretty good to very good in a couple of cases. The layout and editing was good, I didn't notice any obvious errors. It is pretty print friendly. The feats mostly seem well done and well thought out and for the most part well balanced. There was a couple I was unsure of but would take play testing for me to make up my mind. Same is true of some of the magic items as well. This book pretty heavily covers everything you might want to know or need to know about tattoos and how to add them to your game. It is not perfect there was a few things that should have been added like how to recharge the scroll tattoos. Also I was very surprised not to see a new domain, this pretty much seemed to scream to me it needed a Tattoo domain. While I know this is about tattoos I would have liked to have seen more on other body art. Like Piercings and magic items for that, another 2-6 pages would have been nice covering that, same with scaring. The book is good, but I felt it could have been better. So whats my rating? I am going to settle on a 4.5 star. It is good, even very good for much of it. It gives you all you need to make tattoos a important part of any campaign, but it also left a few things on the table that could have helped push it up to great. Trust me, I'm a Succubus. Black Lords of the Marsh by Super Genius Games This product is 29 pages long. It starts with a cover and intro. (1 ½ pages) The Dragons ( 26 ½ pages)
It ends with a OGL and credits. (1 pages) Closing thoughts. I will be totally honest, this is mostly a book of stat blocks and I am not a huge number cruncher. I went over the stat blocks and nothing stood out to me as obviously wrong, I will as I mentioned not great at that so I fully admit I could have missed errors in the stat blocks. I am more of a if it looks right I just go with it type GM and not worry if the stat blocks are perfect. With that said I didn't notice any big errors in the stat blocks. The art is a mix, there is color, black and white and computer 3D art. The quality is also a mix, from pretty meh to very good and everything in between. The editing and layout was good. So whats my rating? Well if you are looking for complete stat blocks, advice, tactics for black dragons look no further than here. If that appeals to you then I highly recommend this product. I am going to settle on a 4 star though. Mostly cause while it accomplishes what it claims and does it well. I wasn't wowed either. I honestly think the section on alternate builds, advice etc needed to be bigger. Especially on the older dragons. I think the first half needed another half page and the later ones a full page. I think that would have helped make this product better. So I think it is a good product that could have been even better. Trust me, I'm a Succubus.

It ends with a OGL. (1 pages) Closing thoughts. I didn't notice any errors, though one page with some age, weight, height tables it looked a little crammed and not as clean looking as most SGG products. The art is good black and white art. The races all seem fairly well balanced, they have well done and history histories, ecologies etc. Everything you need to add these races to your campaign world. They really is nothing bad to say about the product beyond the one page I already mentioned. If you are looking for some wind/flying races to add to your game then these are worth picking up. While the Silfide where nice, I would have much rather had another winged race is this book and saved them for a book of races of air fey or something. That is not a knock against a book just a personal preference. So what's my rating? Well I am going to give this one a 4l5, it gives what it claims and does it well. Though it is not perfect. Trust me, I'm a Succubus.
