Treasure Tokens! A TtRPG Supplement
Publisher: By Jason D. Essex
by Todd [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 01/08/2024 20:30:42

I was expecting tokens for use on a virtual tabletop but these are just random images or clip art with a black line around the box or AI-generated artwork.

I've now earned my lesson to not Pay What You Want until after I download the product. Even for the $1 that I paid, I feel ripped off.

Thank you for your feedback concerning this ePub. I did not realize that not listing the term "virtual table" would be detrimental. Noted. A video of Treasure Tokens! for this epub is now available. https://www.facebook.com/ByJasonDEssexLocalAuthor/videos/2609103315930649 Have a great week!

Dusktown (Town Map)

Thanks for the free map; the detail and art style are nice and clean and easy on the eye. I'll definitely use it in one of my campaigns at some point. However, the white map text is incredibly hard to read, both in the key and on the map itself. I would suggest using a white non-serif font without an outline for the map key and enlarge the text on the map.

There are a few spelling and grammar errors in the write-up, but I understand that English may not be your first language. • wjere = where • whisphered = whispered • The example labels are for a Dungeons & Dragons setting; however, in addition to this version...

Also, compressing it into a .RAR file makes it difficult for Mac users to open without third-party software. ZIP files are usable between both PCs and Macs.

VTT Battle Maps - Lovecraft inspired: Halls of Cthulhu - Three 40x30 maps
Publisher: PenguinComics
by Todd T. [Verified Purchaser]

This map was EVERYTHING needed for the final showdown in our Cthulhu game set in ancient Atlantis. EVERYTHING. I flipped the maps so the action flowed from left to right, the maps allow you to ramp up the encounters from low to high to the showdown with the Big Bad Evil Girl at the end. The artwork is beautiful; my players kept commenting on how great and detailed it looked. We played out the scenario in Roll20, and with the dynamic lighting and strategically placed light sources, the map and its denizens kept the players hopping.

Entering the temple (left map), the characters were ambushed by dozens of minion adherents; a treacherous bridge leads further into the cavern — and of course, falling off means death by bottomless pit! An altar across the chasm was perfect for chanting cultists to summon hordes of rat-things to swarm the adventurers.

On the middle map, a plank across the gulf leads to the altar of rat-things… but a few dagger-wielding apostles bar the way! Deeper in the cavern, another altar was in use to call forth byakhee; two characters met their end when one was eaten and the other was dropped into the ravine. A narrow (and guarded) overpass leads to the third map.

On the final map, a large central tabernacle of a tentacled face was surrounded by 12 cultists led by a lieutenant. Large pits around this had large tentacles lying in wait to grab unaware explorers and pull them in. In the far corners, two other lieutenants stood on stone platforms guarded by followers on the stairs. The BBEG stood on a platform between them, taunting the PCs as she fired spell after spell at them. Ultimately, the surviving characters lost when Qtulu was summoned and sank the city (as the scenario dictated).

This map is perfect for characters to run a gauntlet that builds up to a climactic showdown at the end. An excellent product!

Bundle of Bad Things [BUNDLE]
Publisher: Atelier Clandestin
by Todd T. [Verified Purchaser]

CONTENT: There are quite a few good ideas in here, but there are also a few insta-kills where the party meets a terrible fate and is killed. Leaving the characters' destiny up to one dice roll takes away player agency; after all, the only thing the players have in the game are their characters. The tables should be plot hooks for further roleplaying and adventuring, not an end to it.

LAYOUT: Some of the events are written in an unclear manner. Just a very few spelling and grammar errors. Some awkward line breaks have an event start in one column and finish in the next when there is space to move the entire event to the second column.

Overall, a decent product, but wait for it to go on sale.

After These Messages: Sitcom RPG
Publisher: The GM's Table
by Todd T. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 05/28/2023 08:58:46

I've often thought about how a sitcom or soap opera would work in gaming terms; this book tells you how to run a sitcom game. The material is good, referencing many sitcoms over the past decades. This runs on the Powered by the Apocalypse engine; if you don't have those rules, you'll need to get them. The book offers no hint or clue on how to run the game if you don't.

Unfortunately, the presentation is less than professional. There are a LOT of spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors in the final product. I mean A LOT. This really could and should have had another few passes at proofreading or even a simple spell-check.

I found the font choice for the body text difficult to read on-screen; I had to zoom in quite a bit to make it legible. Also, the condensed typeface uses a capital letter I as a one (1) which was confusing until I figured it out; not a good choice. And what size is the font? It looks to be about 7 or 8 pt, which is too small; no less than 9 or 10 pt. should typically be used for printed material.

Twenty dollars for a 30-page PDF is waaaay overpriced. Even $10 is still too much (I bought it at this price as the Deal of the Day). If you're interested in purchasing this, wait for a sale. And wait and see if there will be a cleaned-up version in the future.

  • Vague or no system instructions: -1 star
  • Poor presentation of material: -1 star

My gaming group loved this adventure and they still talk about some of the events that happened while playing the pregens: poor Jerry Willis' injuries grew at an alarming exponential rate, and the saloon madam kept hitting her comrades when shooting her pistol. Call of Cthulhu works extremely well with the Wild West.

BASH! Fantasy: Character Build Templates
Publisher: Basic Action Games
by Todd T. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 09/16/2017 08:46:28

I love using this supplement. Whether I need a character on-the-fly or I have an idea for one, I can easily find the class's basic description and quickly flesh him/her out. And the idea of the "Classic Combo" suggestions is a good way to recreate characters from other media. There are even a couple of classes I hadn't considered before! This is a great modular add-on for the fun BASH: Fantasy or BASH: Legends of Steel games.
