Deeds Not Words is a broad-focus d20 supers game in PDF format, designed to allow the creation of everything from costumed adventurers to two-gun acti

From the earliest days of Superhero 2044, D&D has consistently defeated attempts to adapt it for use as a Superhero role-playing game. Whether it's the first, second or third edition, the D20 System contains subtle elements which defy the conventions of Superhero gaming. Over the past few years...

Coruscant and the Core Worlds is a 160-page hardcover sourcebook for the STAR WARS D20 role-playing game

---

For the price, there is some very good material here, but I still think that $30 is a bit much. Maybe it’s just me, I don’t know, but I’ll protest that until the day I can’t rattle my dice any longer. The bottom line: if you are a Game Master, or just a die-hard Star Wars fan, you’ll likely find...

Looking to add some humor to your current d20 campaign, or need to get reacquainted with the misadventures of your favorite Zeetva?

---

In the end, this small tome does what it sets out to. It's definitely not for every player and it's not going to win any awards for graphic presentation as it uses a simple one column layout with little in the way of layout modifications or new art, but it's going to be a good companion to the...

A d20 adventure designed for 4-6 characters of 4th-6th level.

---

This is a well-written and amusing adventure, focused on a fair in a magical dimension populated by fairy tale creatures such as goblins, elves, ogres, dragons, hags as well as the more traditional fey. In fact, the whole adventure has a humorous fairy-tale feel to it and should make a fun once-off...

More than just a book of spells, Way of the Shugenja offers inside looks on the shugenja class.

---

I have very mixed feelings about this book. It is very heavy on the exposition side of things, with mostly cultural information in the various shugenja. This is not a negative thing, in my opinion though. But it IS quite costly, and for the price, on could have expected a few more crunchy bits. The...

The world is riddled with sites of arcane power, and binding them all together is the Nexus.

---

The Book of Eldritch Might III: The Nexus is a 96 page softcover book written by Monte Cook from Malhavoc Press, with a cover price of $18.95. It is collection of spells, magic items, and assorted arcane knicknacks. What makes this book unusual and different from its predecessors is its...

The module is very well written and presented.

---

"The Secret of Smuggler's Cove" is perhaps not the most original module in terms of basic theme, but is fairly original in how it puts those themes together.

I am and have been a long time Greyhawk fan. I do not have a dominant preference for a particular iteration of the Greyhawk setting.

---

Expedition to the Ruins of Castle Greyhawk (ERCGH) is both a very good product (4 Stars) and a not so good one (2 Stars), yielding an overall impression of being average (3 Stars).

twenty low level adventures

---

Remember the good old days, when adventures were underground, NPCs were there to be killed, and the finale of every dungeon was the dragon on the 20th level? Those days are back. Dungeon Crawl Classics don't waste your time with long-winded speeches, weird campaign settings, or NPCs who aren't...

Once you start using them, you'll never go back!

---

You might wonder what the point is. Once you give Paizo's Item Cards a try, you'll soon figure it out. If you like the tactile enhancement of player handouts, maps and props, you'll love the Item Cards.

Devilish Dens is an adventure accessory containing ten lairs of outsiders, suitable for medium to high-level characters, from Fast Forward Entertainme

---

The ambience of Devilish Dens may appeal to those who still enjoy 1st-Edition style dungeon bashing. The product is strong on tactical advice and weak on roleplaying advice. There's a number of concerns with stats, plot congruity, ecology, and missing information on magical items. There is no...

Prometheus Rising ... an adventure beyond your wildest imaginings, the solar system is more wonderful and terrifying than we ever imagined.

---

Prometheus begins with a page of great story. There are hints of a rebellion, The Company, space prisons, strange technology and more. The tagline for the download on its virtual shelf at RPGNow announces “95 Worlds, 1 Destiny" and the front cover of the download itself says “95 Planets, 1...

Four Realms, Four Evils

---

War horns wail and perilous realms cry out for heroes! Four settings, each detailed and mapped, ideal for novices launching their first campaign, or veteran GMs looking to challenge their players with terrible foes and foreign lands.

Let me just say that I personally found them both believable and promising.

---

What makes these races special is that they are not modelled after the "classical" fantasy races found in most fantasy RPGs (Elves, Dwarves, etc.). It was the stated goal of Umbragia's designers to avoid such cliches and create something original. IMO they have succeeded.

For those of you interested in running a campaign set in Umbragia, the "Nations" are obviously essential to get started.

---

"Nations of Umbragia" is the second volume dedicated to Jagged Edge Game's "Umbragia - Realms of Shadow" campaign setting. It presents an overview of the world inhabited by the various races introduced in their first game supplement, "People of the Realms".

These are pretty good

---

I have played D&D for quite a while, and I see the need for character record sheets individualized by class. These are pretty good, having even spell planning sheets for spell casters and animal sheets for familiars/animal companions/mounts/pets.

Super Hero writing meets D&D

---

Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk is another update of a classic adventure for the d20 rule set. Written by several industry veterans, Ruins has a lot of mixed history with everything ranging from serious to humorous takes on it. As one of the dungeons associated most closely with Gary Gygax,...

This d20 adventure, a companion to The Book of Eldritch Might, is designed for challenging high-level play rarely supported in other d20 products.

Demon God's Fane Written by Monte Cook
The criteria I use to evaluate a d20 adventure includes the following:
1. Interesting and varied encounters: I look for unique encounters, allowing for a variety of role and roll playing. ...

Lean & Hungry is a 64-page mono softcover product costing $14.95. Largish spaces between paragraphs and titles, along with a few chunks of white space at the end of chapters, give the product an airy feel. Two pages of ads don't help this aspect. Art runs from good to average; the front cover...

Secrets of the Ancients presents a series of vignettes that can be used individually or together to enrich any fantasy campaign using the d20 game sys

---

The book provides solid entertainment value for the dollar and even if the adventures themselves aren’t used, the GM should get some value out of the monsters, magic items, and the prestige class.

This introductory adventure takes you on a wonderful trip from the snowed in village of Kirkwood to the marvelous city of Bluffside.

---

This product is for the people who play in Bluffside a valuable source of information, but as an adventure it is fairly poor. The main reason I give it an Average score that it would be a 4 for a Bluffside campaign, but a 2 or even 1 in any other situation. Also the power level in the module is...

The Pantheon and Pagan faiths is a book of divine magic and knowledge for The Hunt: Rise of Evil campaign setting.

---

First things first, jumping right out of the gate I noted that Pagan Faiths takes a more earthy feel to divinity. What does that mean exactly? It means that while there are some panthionestic elements common to fantasy role-playing games, Pagan Faiths went a step beyond that and integrated these...

In the Saddle is a nice little pdf all about horses and mounts.

---

Like many of Darkquest Games pdf’s In the Saddle is filled with detail to the overflowing point. The first chapter describes horses and taking care of them in great detail. No longer will horses just be a way to get from point A to point B. With this the horse can be given personality and style....

This comprehensive set of reference manuals is a must for HackMaster GM and player alike.

Volume I of the Hacklopedia of Beasts is soft-covered and has 112 pages. The front cover is a drawing of an encounter with a Bulette; the back cover has a sample entry (the Adapter). The inside covers are advertisements for other Hackmaster and Kenzerco products. The first few pages include the...

Coup de Grace
If you’re looking to augment the spellcasting methods in your d20 campaign or running a Swashbuckling Adventures game, this book may be for you.

The third volume of creature reference manuals for the HackMaster 4th Edition RPG

---

The first seven pages are the typical Hackmaster disclaimer about roleplaying games, table of contents, and explanations of creature statistics. The major differences from Hacklopedias and prior monster books are that nearly every beast in Hackmaster has a twenty-hit point kicker to add to its 1d8...

"The easiest way to learn how to play the Third Edition Dungeons & Dragons game."

---

This is the product's goal and it does it admirably. I used the product to introduce a group of non-roleplayers to the game and I was surprised how they were just eating it up. After each adventure they were begging for the next. I knew D&D was a great game but it was hard to explain to new...

The High Points: Travelling to the caves is a challenge in itself, the adventure providing rules for surviving the harsh conditions up in the frozen mountains. The monsters are mainly appropriate to the adventure. The setting is unusual, there is some roleplaying opportunity with the ice mephit,...
