A place to not only serve as homebase but with great NPCs for a party to care about. Throw in fantasy, pulp, a bit of sci-fi with cryptids and paranormal creatures and you have a great old school feel that will draw the players in to a great setting that has a bit of everything and yet is new in enough ways to feel like you have not been here before. A five Star buy!

The system here is on the rules light end, yet complete in what is needed to run any of the Mongoose Conan modules of old or the newer Modiphius Adventures. If you want to just run your own Hyborian Age or Hyborian like games or just need a faster paced and more fade into the background system for the adventures above, this game will work great for you. With little work you could add the Author's There and Hack Again game to have Frodo, Bilbo and Aragon join Conan, Kull, Fahrad and the Grey Mouser and Elric on a quest to fight Thulsa Doom, Thoth-Amon, Smaug and the Ringwraiths if you like. All this with a complete yet light game.

If you want to just run your own Middle Earth or Middle Earth like games or just need a faster paced and more fade into the background system for the adventures above, this game will work great for you. With little work you could add the Author's By This Axe I Hack game to have Conan, Kull, Fahrad and the Grey Mouser and Elric join Froto, Aragorn and Bilbo on a quest to fight Thulsa Doom, Smaug and the Ringwraiths if you like. All this with a complete yet light game.

It is one of the best fits for a port over to Astonishing Swordsmen and Sorcerers of Hyperborea that I have seen in a while. There are many great OSR modules, but not as many that can be run as a Sword and Sorcery style with such ease. This module reads like it was made for Conan and his ilk. The monsters are well done and the adventure is well contructed and covers the plot of destroying an evil item in an interesting way that I would want to run or had I not read it, played through. Even if you don't DM, point your DM this way and enjoy.

It is one of the best fits for a port over to Astonishing Swordsmen and Sorcerers of Hyperborea that I have seen in a while. There are many great OSR modules, but not as many that can be run as a Sword and Sorcery style with such ease. This module reads like it was made for Conan and his ilk and this collection of maps and monsters plus handouts are a must have. Very useful even without the module as a mini creature collection, but for the price even better if you buy the sister product.

A great example of taking a great system and making it fit an idea for a world. Using 5E as a basis and taking the level of magic down a notch and starting the characters at lower power brings the low magic, high danger Warhammer style setting to life. From there you gain power over 10 levels per class at a faster rate per level than 5e. The magic system is changed to better fit the level of power in a lower magic world, while still being powerful within the setting and more dangerous to use. When I bought this product I thought it might be good for things to add to my 5e game. Instead I find that I would rather run this game on its own when on a 5e break. That is reason enough to give it 5 stars.

Great way to add some items from older editions to 5e. The author has done well making a very useful product and even brought out a printer friendly verson, for those who wish all products had a backgroundless version, as soon as asked for one. If you want more armor and weapons and miss some of those seen in past editons, this is a good place to start. Five stars for use and for the author's update.

Best,

More monsters are always great and these are some of the best from the past converted to 5e. I've had a chance to use a few and the balance seems right. I would give this product 5 stars and add that the author added a print friendly version within a very short time of my mentioning how helpful it would be to those of us who are still stuck on liking a printed copy to read.

An excellent product filling in some useful creatures and races from Limbo. The Slaad round out those already seen in 5e and the other monsters are well presented.

An excellent source for NPCs that would appear in an army. I have not had time to run any numbers, but the stats seem well balanced and the author does a great job of giving a brief setup for each entry. If you are worried about the Author's statement that English is not the Author's native language, don't be. While there are small usage or word issues, the work is still very clear. I wish I could trust myself to be as clear in another language.
As the Author notes, these are Stats for the groups of soldiers and attached personal found in an army. The Armies covered are the standard Human, Elf, Dwarf types expected in such a product. Where this product really shines is in the other armies covered, such as an Undead Army, an Infernal army of Tieflings and a Fey army. In many ways the feel is like a Warhammer army list, but set to use in 5e encounters rather than minature warfare. This would be a great product to use to create a section of an army for your Characters to interact with when they find themselves caught in a war zone.
Overall, a great addition to the NPCs in the Monster Manual and a product I will keep up with as the author updates it further. The only negative, I would give it is the same one most products have on this site and therefore not something I'd drop the rating for. The use of a color background is painful in printing even it looks nice on screen. A printer friendly white background would certainly make this old gamer, who prints everything to read, a happy gamer.

Wow. This is exactly, what I needed for quick monster ideas. If you want to spark your ideas for great Things from Beyond for your game in any setting (This fits Conan and Primeval Thule like it was made for them) buy this. It is like Goodman Games' Random Esoteric Creature Generator for Classic Fantasy Role-Playing Games and their Modern Simulacra on steroids, but for 5e. The system for creating your "Thing from Beyond" is well explained and the logic of how to test its balance against a list of creatures in the MM is a very good idea, that is also fun. The pdf, while not printer friendly, due to a background, did not seem to eat as much ink as I feared it would and printed very well in Draft mode. I do wish more sellers here would be aware of us poor old folk who prefer to read printed copies of our pdfs. This was the only minor fault in the product and does not bring down a beyond five star rating from me. This is now my go to random monster system. If you are not certain about using Cthulhu inspired creatures, don't worry, instead make them servants of Chaos or Trickster Gods Maybe those Demon lords did more than create madness in your Realms. Did that crazy Elemental/Dragon Cult or some Blood Sucking Jerk of a Mage, dabble is messing with creatures too? The many tables covering types and traits of creatures here, have you covered. I look forward to more useful things from this author.

Best,

Tom

The author continues to create useful options that are very good values. In this case, you get a very useful addition to your list of Warlock Patrons. Everything looks balanced and just as important looks like it would be fun to play. For the price of these products, they are excellent five star items worth trying out and should you find them at all lacking in any way, contact the author as he has proven excellent at working with buyers to improve small things that add to each buy. Need a way to have a Dragon involved with the Characters from the start and have a player who wants something a bit different from a Sorcerer, this fills that role very well. A good buy.

More of the same as per part one. These round out other Deities of the Forgotten Realms and gives the same type of information for them as part one. You get Specialty Priests and their vestments as well as a short table of punishments should your Priest not live up to his or her duties to the Gods. Very useful additions for those wanting more ways to make the Gods feel alive in their Forgotten Realms.

An excellent product adding a possible good aligned patron for your warlock. The class is well written and balanced with the official Player's Handbook patrons. I can see players enjoying this addition and DMs practicing their Christopher Walken impersonations after watching "The Prophecy". Fun all around.

The Author sent me a copy to look over a few days ago and added a few things (a cool example of how the character would look in a story), and sent me the final copy. It was good enough that I bought a copy as the price is very fair. The character class is a fighter that uses movement through natural use of teleports and related abilities as he/she advances in level. Mostly, the class looks fun to play if it fits your campaign. It is hard to say how balanced it would be as I have not used the class in play, but for the price it is worth trying and knowing the author, he would be glad to help any issues that would pop up.
