The recipes in this book are a lot of fun, even though I haven't had a chance to make more than one of them yet. I really look forward to making more. Also, there was a surprising amount of flavor text that helped me understand a few of the traditions a little bit more, which was an unexpected treat.
If you like game themed cookbooks, this one is for you!
Kind Blade and Cruel Divinities is a stand-alone novel set in the Ponyfinder campaign world. A self-contained story, albeit with a potential continuation teased at the end, it tells the tale of a young human male training to become an adventurer in a nation of ponies. Unsurprisingly, adventure ends up finding him.
Before going any further, I need to make a disclaimer: I’m a supporter of the author’s Patreon, as well as having ghost-written a small portion of one of the Ponyfinder sourcebooks. I’ve also used some Ponyfinder material in the course of my own creative writing. All that, plus I consider the author to be a friend of mine. So take this review with whatever grain of salt you feel is appropriate.
With regards to the technical aspects of this book, it’s available in three formats; my review is focused around the PDF format only. In that regard, the book is one hundred seventy pages long (which makes the listing for one hundred thirty rather odd), and doesn’t seem to have t...
Interesting short story. The concept is quite interesting and the theory of which side is the right and which one is wrong is a compelling one. Still, it leaves you with more questions than answers.
I can't believe I've never read anything like this before. An adventuring party with some free time goes to dinner. What would they talk about? What would they eat? This was funny as it was informative. Reading about this dinner party made them seem very real. The author did a great job with this story and I look forward to reading more by him.

I just picked this up as part of a post-christmas mass-purchase treat for myself. It is an exceptional worldbuilding supplement, dealing less with the crunch and more with the thought processes of world building. I've been doing this for a while, and I knew quite a bit of what is in here already, but it's great to see those practices layed out by experienced designers in an easy to digest way.

This book is one of the best game developer guides you will ever find. Filled with advice and guidelines on building your game. A must read for any aspiring game developer.
This audio drama is a great window into the world of Pugmire. The production values are superb for the cost of the item. The character of Darcy cat was compelling and the story should inspire others to new adventures in the world of Pugmire.
**Review of 'Blood Magic by Domino Finn, driveTHRU fiction epub', by Andrè M. Pietroschek.**
Note: My download by click failed, i had to right click the link and save it manually, which worked instantly & flawless.
On revisit to post my review I got an autoload of the epub into my browser's epub reader, unexpected. But such minor glitches & bugs can happen... Plus: Sometimes a purchased product cannot be reviewed, as the purchase failed to register in the review section.

This was a fun little Shadowrun short story. I love the Halloweeners and the author did a good job giving them more personality than they usually enjoy in Shadowrun lore. The setting was very well described throughout the story. The rundown neighborhoods where the Halloweeners and the First Nation gangs have their turf wars really spring to 'life'. Street-slang is in full use in this short story, and it really brings that Shadowrun ambience to the story. The story is a fun, entertaining read.
The story revolves around Yuri, a former Russian army man, and his somewhat more mysterious girlfriend, Soren. Yuri is given the right mix of mystery and detail for his backstory, but I wish Soren was developed a bit more.
There's a bit of adult content in the story, which honestly felt a little bit out of place for me.
As a Shadowrun GM this story greased my hamster wheel for how I could better integrate gangs into my Shadowrun adventures other than offering them up as easy targe...
I haven't read fiction in ~15 years. I randomly grabed this book. It was quite good. A quick, easy read, not something that looks like a thesaurus threw-up on the page. Obviously a 'character introduction' type piece. I look forward to more.
A tense story, with a fitting name. With a relentless drive, it raises the stakes at every opportunity before reaching a climactic and satisfying ending. Allthough this is the sixth Sabit story, it works well alone. It moves effortlessly between characters, making all of them, both heroes and villians, stand out as full characters.
This sampler provides pages of fun and inspirational material from Black Shark Enterprises. There are tables of pirate-themed encounters, nauticaL terms and an article speculating on piracy in the Minoan trade empire.
It was a nice little teaser, but I was hoping for something more. I get the whole special mask thing, but it really did not give me much to truly understand what the world was about. Maybe a conflict where the character used the mask would have been cool. It just gave me more questions. Oh well, I'm already planning my campaign. I just need to wait for the book to come out.

Refreshingly free from the stains of hubris and narcicissm Tim Fatchen delivers what he promises! Dark, gloomy, and moody this sample aka example of his background music (for Cthulhu or World of Darkness) made a very good impression to me, and worked even while editing my own fiction and cover-art-composing!
A wonderful appetizer proving that the musician or sound-artist Tim Fatchen did earn his place on our wishlists & products to remember!
