The treatment of Gods taking on masks in different cultures is fun. Their little setting supplements are a lot like Paizo's, pretty good for getting into a specific flavor and eminently useable for insertion into a homebrew. The Southlands has a lot of stuff if you want D&D Egypt. I have their later core Midgard setting books, but have not really gone through them.I adopted the Baba Yaga and gnomes storyline into my Reign of Winter Pathfinder adventure path game and it was fantastic.I have their monster books from the big ones like the Creature Codex to the small things like Book of Drakes, their Giants ones, and the Monsters of Sin. A good variety, although the prominence of their Thursir giants in the giants book does not really resonate with me. I loved that they did an ecology series in Kobold Quarterly and collected it in a book.Their big Demon Cults book is a lot of fun with interesting dark figures to incorporate into a D&D mythos.I enjoyed Kobold Quarterly, a lot of good stuff that felt really Dragon Magaziney.The modules generally look interesting in themes, a lot of dark fairy tale that matches well with the setting, but I have not run any. I read through their 5e lairs anthology and it was decent.I am not that into their player options. The race ones were a little too short, I would have wanted more descriptions in them, and the general magic and class option stuff I have a bunch of from a lot of bundles, but I have not gone into them in depth.I generally do not have an interest in the Kobold Guides.</blockquote>
