Sinister Secret of Whiterock
Free RPG day was last weekend and I was able to pick up this Goodman Games module. When it comes to free stuff I was not expecting all that great of things except for this module. They have shown to put good effort and write very creative modules and...  |

| Rumble in the Wizard's Tower
At a glance: True to the Wicked Fantasy Factory mission statement, Rumble in the Wizard’s Tower will turn your role playing experience into an artificial blood spatter filled, henchman chopping, campy B-movie. This is not a bad thing; whatever your gaming style, your party will find...  |

Ring of Thieves
Sometimes good luck just happens. I was doing a search for a Freeport module and somehow this module came up. It is not related to Freeport at all but was precisely what I was looking for. So, I bought the module and got a chance to run it. It went very well. I’m not...  |

| Wicked Fantasy Factory #0: Temple of Blood
I was lucky enough to have a game store in my area participate in Free RPG day. Even luckier, they didn't have a limit on how much free stuff you could take. However, not to be greedy, I limited myself to 5 pieces, including this one, Temple of Blood from Wicked Fantasy Factory and...  |

| Wicked Fantasy Factory #0: Temple of Blood
One of the 4 items my brother & I got from Free RPG Day was the Temple of Blood adventure.
Production Quality
I'd say it's hit and miss. The cover had bad contrast with most dark red & dark gray and almost everything ends up blending together. Not something that will grab...  |

| Heroes of High Favor: Elves
Heroes of High Favor: Elves is what I feel is the best book by Bad Axe Games to date. The book is small and one might not notice it on the store selves if not for a most majestic cover by Brad Kelly and Andrew Hale. The cover is amazing; I can not really do it justice in a description. But...  |

Heroes of High Favor: Dwarves is Bad Axe Games first book, and is also the first in their line of race books. This book is rather small being only 62 pages and it is not a full size book. However the price is only about ten dollars American and it is packed inside. The cover is one of the...  |

| The Hamlet of Thumble
The Hamlet of Thumble is an adventure for first to second level characters that are either good or evil. Do not allow that description to fool you, as this is much more then one’s average module. The book is seventy pages in length. The layout is solid and it is easy to read. The black and...  |

| Delta Green d20
I think a couple of clarifications need to be made to this review:
1) Delta Green d20 was written for use with the BRP system, and the d20 version of CoC. It was originally co-authored by John Tynes, who co-authored the d20 version of CoC with Monte Cook. While Tynes may not have...  |

Delta Green
Delta Green is a sourcebook for the Call of Cthulhu (CoC) game from Pagan Publishing. This version also includes stats for the d20 version of Call of Cthulhu, but otherwise is pretty much unchanged, other than presumably being reedited to make room for such stats, and they...  |

| Zorcerer of Zo
At first I wanted an opening paragraph filled with Z’s instead of S’s but I felt that was a bit too annoying. Instead I will dive in on the fun of Fairy Tale gaming. It is games set in those mythical worlds or ones heavily influenced by them. The Shrek movies give an okay example of how...  |

| Dungeon Crawl Classics #24: Legend of the Ripper
A good horror adventure can be hard to do in D&D. They are usually written for low levels as it is tough to really make a high level character scared. There are just too many options and too many classes built to handle the truly scary things. But a module that wants to do horror needs...  |

One of the essential icons of a psionic character, and something that sets them apart from the more typical wizard or sorcerer, is the use of crystals. While crystals of all sorts have been linked to magical abilities within historic myth, within the realm Dungeons and Dragons, if one sees...  |
