| Necromancy: Beyond the Grave
Necromancy: Beyond the Grave is the second book in Mongoose Publishing's Encyclopaedia Arcane series. Unlike the Slayer's Guides, this particular line is considerably more 'meaty' when it comes to rules content, something that many felt that Mongoose's previous work lacked.

| Scrolls of Skelos
My Bias: I think the Conan d20 book is the best thing that has happened to 3rd edition DnD. In my opinion, it offers more useful ideas and options for campaigns than Unearthed Arcana or any campain setting produced by Wizards or Mongoose. That said I do not run a Conan world rather a...  |

| Modern Player's Companion
I enjoy d20 Modern in many aspects more than standard d20. The reasons tend to be that d20 Modern characters, due to their extra abilities like talents, reputation, defense bonus, action points, ease of mutli-classing and other player focused abilities like occupations, puts them in a...  |

| Way of the Sword
This review is sponsored by Gaming Frontiers:
Way of the Sword is almost a perfect D20 book. It takes material from Arcana Unearthed relating to fighters and the art of fighting, and puts it into one nice PDF. First off, for those who own the print book, there is no reason to own the...  |

| The Horror Beneath
Just to make sure this gets to the worst of the worse list, it needs to be said that this is a single worst product in any genre I have ever seen make its way to the publisher. The plotline is less imaginative then anything anyone can come up with after being explained the point of Role...  |

Beyond Monks is for those players and GMs who want a core character class whose abilities more closely reflect the physical intensity of the action heroes of the screen from the 80's and 90's rather than the Monk and its nod to Kung Fu and other mysticism influences.

| BESM d20 Stingy Gamer Edition
I've already reviewed BESM d20. It's a very interesting take that not only captures the anime feel for the d20 system, but also provides a set of point based character building guidelines.
Why then is the old review a higher score than this product? Well, this product isn't aimed at me....  |
