5 out of 5 rating for Deluxe Dungeon Master's Screen Hands down the most useful information on this (and the chunk that takes up the most space) are the conditions. I've referenced these more times than I can count over the weekend at Winter Fantasy - it's so handy to have the conditions...

Excellent thread! I found a leather bound collection of the Deadlands Players Guide and Marshals Handbook (one big tome) signed by Shane Hensley a dozen or so years ago and picked it up. Definitely my favorite single RPG item! I also managed to get my hands on two highly regarded Call of Cthulhu...

4 out of 5 rating for Corruption in Kryptgarden I DM'ed Corruption in Kryptgarden at GenCon 2014 and had an absolute blast. My players were fantastic (it helped that four of the six came as a group, and the other two were very involved), and my only real complaint comes from the level of prep...

4 out of 5 rating for Dues for the Dead Dues for the Dead has a simple setup and a straightforward premise. Nothing is wrong with that in and of itself, and thankfully there are some intriguing and cool areas in the dungeon crawl to distract the players from the fact that there is a single path...

5 out of 5 rating for Outlaws of the Iron Route I ran Outlaws of the Iron Route at Gamehole Con a number of times, and each experience was different. The scenario does a really good job of investing the characters into the machinations of the NPCs and utilizes some cool moments to really bring...

4 out of 5 rating for Defiance in Phlan Defiance in Phlan is a collection of five mini-scenarios designed to be run in an hour block each, and they each can be done in that allotment - but just barely. If you've got the time to expand out each of them, they get that much better. I've ran all...

5 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Dungeon Master's Guide The prevailing idea behind the publication of the Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition game seems to be "tools for your toolbox," and in that regard the new Dungeon Master's Guide knocks it out of the park. Alternate rules for lingering...

4 out of 5 rating for Rise of the Runelords Adventure Path Paizo has stated that they wanted their first adventure path to be "classic" - evil wizard showdown kind of thing. They did that in spades, and the result is a fun (if dangerous depending on PCs) and engaging series of scenarios with...

4 out of 5 rating for Age of Worms Adventure Path Overall I really enjoyed running the Age of Worms adventure path from Dungeon magazine. My biggest issue was with the first scenario, which is a pretty standard run-of-the-mill dungeon crawl that feels displaced from the rest of the scenarios. I...

4 out of 5 rating for Star Wars: Edge of the Empire Beginner Game Another boxed set that does a lot to get people playing, the Beginner Game to FFG's Star Wars: Edge of the Empire is designed to be opened and played right away. You learn the system as you go, and the pregens are varied enough...

4 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Starter Set But it could be so much more. I like the fact that it's a boxed set, but the amount of content that's in said box leaves the purchaser a bit lacking in my mind. No maps of the area, even to facilitate theater of the mind, and no battle mats for...

4 out of 5 rating for Hoard of the Dragon Queen Hoard of the Dragon Queen is a fun adventure that suffers a bit too much from travel issues in my mind. Some of the early chapters are a little heavy handed in what you can and can't do and are light on actual objectives, but those can be...

5 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Basic Rules It's free. It covers the basics of Dungeons & Dragons, enough to get a group of people playing and understanding the rules with the least amount of effort. It is, simply put, a gateway drug to the full books, which simply add MORE variety...

5 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Player's Handbook Are you a gamer? Did you get introduced to roleplaying games through some past incarnation of Dungeons & Dragons? Do you have fond memories of playing D&D with your family and/or friends? If you answered yes to any of these questions, the...

5 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Monster Manual The Monster Manual for the new 5th edition of Dungeons & Dragons is gorgeous to behold and filled to the seams with useful information. Up to this point, my favorite D&D monster book had been the 2nd edition Monstrous Manual, simply for the...

I just posted up in the Downloads section (D&D Next Fan Creations) a 54 page PDF containing random magical item tables from the four volumes of the Encyclopedia Magica in D&D Next terms (Uncommon, Rare, Very Rare, Legendary, and Minor Artifact). Of course, not all of the items are going to...

I put together random tables for the non-unique items in the four volumes of the Encyclopedia Magica with a breakdown corresponding to the categories in D&D Next (Uncommon, Rare, Very Rare, Legendary, and Minor Artifact). The GP value of the items are listed but you'll have to use the index from...
