Mimics - An Unnecessary Work | Dungeons - Useless Ideas | Jiggles & Wiggles - Gelatinous Cubes Rule! | Snowy Scenes by Phillip Reed Games
  • SYSTEM: Dungeons & Dragons
  • PRODUCT TYPE: pocket maps
  • RETAIL PRICE: $20 each
  • DESCRIPTION: These are foldable maps of RPG words and art that fit in a pocket with a grouchy attitude. The author, Phillip Reed, says these works suck. His words not mine. Which should make you want to buy them even more. Mimics, An Unnecessary Work. This collection of useless thoughts is divided into four camps: Making mimics more wondrous and magical. A 4d6 table as well as a 3d6 table, each offering some quick ideas about what is the mimic imitating this time. A multitude of mimic encounter ideas. And a mysterious mimic’s lair with which to kill characters. Dungeons: 1d10 terrible ideas for what the PCs may find when they open a locked door in the dungeon. More dungeon encounters. 3d6 dungeon inhabitants. Jiggles & Wiggles, Gelatinous Cubes Rule! Now what is that damn cube doing? What’s inside this jiggly gelatinous cube? Take inspiration from these words and use a few of these ideas to wipe-out the party. After all, the adventurers likely deserve death for some past offense. Snowy Scenes offers several encounter seeds for those times when the PCs are exploring an arctic environment and the GM is sick of their nonsense. Playing in the snow on one side for 4d12 encounters and winter encounters with 2d20 on the other. GM can’t decide which one to use? Use playing in the snow if the PCs have been likable this session and use winter encounters if someone at the table has been annoying or unusually foolish.

I have the three Midnight Tower Trilogies (Secrets of the Drow, Rise of the Ice Dragons, Prophecy of Nine Omens) from their Kickstarter. Very good looking books, the adventures are easy to digest, great layout. Their site has additional resources as well.
The PDFs are great too.
Unfortunately, I have no room on the shelf for these, so if anyone is interested....

The uppermost books and their artwork look incredible.

The art does look incredible. The summaries provided for the first two volumes, however, seem incredibly dull. Hopefully detailed reviews of the actual content will change my mind.

EDIT: Did a little more digging. Before the Stroke of Midnight looks like it might hold my interest.

Tbh, I have no reference when it comes to TTRPGs as I'm just sort-of starting out.

In which case the adventures may be perfectly fine. I probably qualify as a slightly jaded old fart... but if you're just starting out, odds are you haven't seen the same familiar plot lines, villains, and tropes recycled over and over again. So don't let me, or anyone else, rain on your parade. If the adventures look fun, run 'em!
