Beyond the Golden Vault

Date Added: 03/20/2023 11:26:31

I absolutely adored Baba Lysaga’s Nocturns and Nightmares so was super excited to see what this fabulous dream team of creatives had come up with next!

I certainly wasn’t disappointed – Beyond The Golden Vault is beautifully crafted; gorgeous artwork and professional design accentuate the the top quality writing and there is a wealth of information here to help you craft a fabulous campaign filled with heists and high jinx for your crafty crew of crims!

Everything you need is here – from detailed descriptions of the locations and settings to engaging NPCs who may aid or hinder the party. There is also very clear step by step guidance on how to plan and execute each heist!

Saphyx Spectacular Spells - Cantrip to lv 2 spells
Publisher: Awfully Queer Heroes
by Penny B. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 03/13/2023 08:20:45

I once heard a famous actor quoted as saying 'If I'm going to play a wizard I want ALL the toys in the dressing up box!'

I really feel that this collection of spells would have delighted the hell out of him!

These two volumes are an absolute chocolate box of treats for anyone who wants to add a touch of 'absolutely fabulous' to their 'awfully queer' magic-user.

I was over the moon / rainbow to see spells like 'Instill Pride' and the appearance at one point of a gargantuan unicorn XD and I only wish I had more games to play in so that I could whip me up a wizard who can be deadly, dark and dangerous whilst still spraying their enemies with rainbows.

Saphyx has an incredibly rich back story and in her own right would make a wonderful NPC either to hinge an adventure around, as an antagonist or rival during a quest, or to weave in as someone the PCs must seek out to gain her help.

The spells themselves are AN ABSOLUTE JOY!!!!! Some are more serious, some are more tongue-in-cheek but all of them pack a wonderful punch and are perfectly balanced to work in-play, adding absolutely tons of flavour while still being 100% functional.

I just adore a character whose spells are developed around who they are and make you feel that they are really expressing their personality and experiences through their magic. Because of her rich and unique life, Saphyx can bring this kind of magic to your world with passion and pizzazz - I know she's going to become a firm fave with my group.

These two gorgeous volumes have been crafted with such humor and heart they are going to delight both players and DMs alike - a perfect balance between mischief and well-balanced magic!

Tower of the Soul
Publisher: Awfully Queer Heroes
by Penny B. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 12/14/2022 03:07:12

I haven't run this setting yet but I'm super excited to do so having read through the ENORMOUS amount of material! It's an absolute steal for the price – especially as it has so much re-playability and a lot of the material such as the spells for example, can easily be lifted into any game. I adore that inclusivity is woven seamlessly into its core; it's so rare to find a product that feels as though it was truly made for the LGBTQIA+ community by the LGBTQIA+ community– a product where we're not just a side note taped on to tick a box or even a quirky main stage feature but genuinely represented in an authentic and seamless way. Tower of the soul succeeds in being both a delightfully original, dynamic and creative setting (Play as the forces of chaos? Fight 'the balance' that seeks to eradicate individuality? OMG yes please!!!) and a flagship for representation – I can't wait to bring this to my table as I just know my group are going to adore it!

Baba Lysaga's Nocturnes and Nightmares
Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild
by Penny B. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 10/31/2022 04:39:02

This book is an absolute banquet of dark delights – MORE than enough to gift a new or experienced DM everything they need to run several horror / Halloween themed campaigns set with the nightmare domains presented; and there are a couple of extremely well written one-shots in there as well.

Honestly, if you’re a new DM and you want to run a Halloween special as your first game – grab this, it has all you need. On the other hand, if you’re an old-hand and you want to throw something marvellously rich, inspiring and unexpected at your party this spooky season – you can’t go wrong with this.

The book includes domain descriptions, spells, monsters, subclasses, two adventures to kick you off and it’s all tied together so beautifully by the overarching story of Baba Lysaga’s corruption of young Strahd, as well as the incredible artwork that is so, so inspiring and evocative of the settings.

It’s an absolute candy box of wicked treats for you to dip into – either to craft a unique campaign or to supplement your Ravenloft / Horror-themed adventures.

The book is primarily aimed at DMs BUT – I would would honestly buy this as a player just for the insanely fabulous subclasses – I WANT TO PLAY THEM ALL!!!! I mean who doesn’t want to be a Dark Harlequin Bard? or a Plague Doctor? Each subclass shines with a dark, seductive light of its own – each as rich and unique as they are enticing to play!

I am going to be playing A LOT of campaigns using this – just reading it through the first time, my head was absolutely fizzing with inspiration! It has all a DM needs to run a huge array of unique horror-themed games and can either stand alone or be used to bolster any other horror setting you desire. The love and care that has gone into crafting it is evident throughout and results in something that is both spine-chilling and heart-harming in equal measure. My only wish now is for a hard-back copy!

The Gods of Rega Collection
Publisher: Of Gods and Gamemasters
by Penny B. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 10/24/2022 08:44:09

The Gods of Rega Collection is a rich and inspiring resource for DMs which draws from the writer's obvious love and great knowledge of mythologies, bringing some truly inspirational content that would spark anyone's imagination.

The book includes a wealth of information on the world of Tellus and the Successor States of Rega - lands in conflict as they struggle against the evil forces of chaos that seek to overpower them - including history, pantheon, races, monsters, maps, and even a unique calendar.

Although this is aimed at DMs, there is a playable race included, and enough detail that a player could easily work with their DM to forge their character's links to the deities or regions described.

This is all beautifully presented and woven together with a storyteller's art so that reading through it you feel spellbound, as if by a fireside listening to captivating tales of old.

Short End of The Stick Up
Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild
by Lou P. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 07/15/2022 15:52:56

This is a sweet little one page scenario with full information for adding Big Pete to your campaign - even as a sidekick should your party take a shine to him in the end. Although the encounter is short it is jam packed with comedy and heart - Pete is a unique character amongst gnomes and that in itself is refreshing and inspiring! If you're a creative DM looking for a unique spring board into a new adventure, or a DM pressed for time time who needs a grab-n-go encounter to throw at a travelling party on their way from X to Y this little gem is perfect. Tons of fun, short and sweet and Pete is an absolute riot to run as an NPC. Lots of options are given for dealing with this little rogue - but your party will probably think of their own as well, and who knows, they may even take a liking to Big Pete and decide to let him join them!

Barovian Nights - 101 Ravenloft Encounters
Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild
by Lou P. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 05/10/2022 03:56:29

This product is just a god-send for DMs whether you're running Strahd for the first time or the 100th you are going to find some fantastic encounter ideas - more than you'll ever use in one campaign - and plenty of tips, guidance and suggestions for making your Barovian adventures truly unique. It was wonderful to see the increased stat block there as well - a real time saver if you're running with a higher level party. Everything was neatly laid out and so clearly presented you could really just pick this up on the fly and dive into it to pull out an encounter or two as you need them. Honestly, it's a real dream in that respect. My players for this were a group of dinosaurs who had played in Barovia many many times and met the devil in all his many forms right back since 2e. I'm happy to say they were delighted by all the new encounters and ideas and so joyful to meet a Strahd who was much more of a challenge than he had been in the past! Sadly, as a Romani person, I must say that the re-imagining of the Vistani is where the product falls short. True, this re-imagining has taken out many of the inherently evil characteristics of the Vistani, and for many players that might be enough. But there is still a lot there that is uncomfortable, dehumanising and offensive, even if different reasons are given for it. I can 100% understand the wish for kind-hearted non-Roma creators to want to make amends for the horror that is the Vistani, I love that they want to do that and I want to put my arms round them and hug them and thank them for feeling that way. This is obviously what Oliver Darkshire has tried to do and I do deeply appreciate that, but I'm sad to say it hasn't worked out. I hope this honest note doesn't put you off buying this product though, which in every other way is wonderful and well worth the money. It's beautifully produced, a real time saver and a valuable source of inspiration and guidance for this much loved setting! If you want to read my more detailed review you can do so HERE

Thank you for the honesty, and the kind words. Needless to say, this is something of an -old- project, and I haven't really revised it since it was written a few years ago. In hindsight (which as we know is 20-20), I look back on the optimism of 2019 Oliver thinking he could fix the world's problems via good intentions with bemusement, and I suppose I wish I still had his optimism, however ineffectual it was. I think when I have a moment I shall remove the section you've indicated, as I can't say I disagree with your assessment in the cold light of day. If anything, I'm rather grateful you drew my attention back to it. All that being said, your review is very much appreciated, and I'm glad you had fun with it.

The Great Egg Scramble

Date Added: 05/03/2022 03:37:19

This was a wonderful Easter treat for me and my party - although it would be perfect for any springtime setting or even pancake day! - I really needed something that was a pick up and run but that had enough in it to make a really fun adventure and this one shot was PERFECT on all accounts. I just glanced through it before the session and encountered no confusion or problems during the game. My players really had a wonderful time with this - we played in a mixed age family group from 7yrs to 70! - They adored all the puzzles and challenges around the egg hunt course and these were really well thought out to provide some sort of challenge to suit everyone so no one was kicking their heels feeling like a spare part, it was a really fast paced, fun and engaging session and everyone was in very high spirits by the end of it! This would be a perfect one shot if you're looking for something that's easy to run, huge amounts of fun for your players and fits a springtime game night theme. It's great for all ages and has something for everyone - a winner all round!

This was an extremely well written and well balanced adventure that was great for my players who love a good mix of roleplay and combat encounters. It felt very much like being in an Indiana Jones movie and that vibe captured everyone's imagination right from the start! I'd definitely recommend this for DMs looking for something that's great quality but little to no prep time required - a perfect one to keep on standby for those last-minute game nights!

The Crunchy - a complete character class
Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild
by Lou P. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 02/28/2022 06:24:08

This is an absolutely solid gold, top notch character class creation. It's a very difficult thing to create a quirky, comedic class that at the same time is balanced and playable and not going to be annoying to the rest of the group. The Crunchy wins on all aspects - the class has been constructed with enormous care and consideration to allow you to play a character that is very much like the underdogs of our favourite books and films - occaisonally the comic releif but ultimately the stoutest heart and DEFINATELY NOT to be underestimated. So many beautiful backstories can be woven to explain why your unlikely crunchy character embarked on an adventuring life! I LOVE my Crunchy and so do the rest of my group and we see great things in his future - a wonderful, heart-warming product!

This is just SO MUCH FUN! The powers are all very well thought out and brilliantly balanced at each level - if the idea of turning your enemies against eachother and (my fave part) even raising the wrathful, raging dead floats your boat then I urge you to grab this at once, you'll not be disapointed. I've played two of these as PCs and one as an NPC and it works fantastically both ways round so it's great for both players and DMs. Enormous ammounts of fury-fuelled fun and zombie-mayhem!

Candlekeep Murders: The Deadwinter Prophecy
Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild
by Lou P. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 01/31/2022 04:33:05

This was absolutely fantastic to run - so much skulduggery going on, so many brilliant NPCs to play with, honestly, like having all the toys in the toy box if you are a fan of iconic murder mysteries! A word of advice for DMs - you will want to read the whole thing through at least twice before running it and have a notebook / cheat sheets to hand as you play. You'll also want your players to keep a 'detective's notebook' on the NPCs they interview, their ongoing suspicions and the clues they find so that things go smoothly from one session to the next (we took 4 sessions to complete it, each session was probably 2-3 hours). My players had an absolute field day with this adventure. It's split into two halves and the slower, more intriguing and mysterious pace of the first, followed by the frantic, riddle-solving, pressure-cooker feel of the second really works beautifully. Overall, this is a deliciously complex and well-written adventure that experienced DMs and players can have weeks of fun with!

Date Added: 01/17/2022 05:15:19

This was a super-fun adventure; deeply atmospheric and very intense but without any horror elements making it perfect for both the kids group and the adult group I ran it with. Both groups said it was exciting and tons of fun to play, and running it as DM was straighforward and fun as well. It's a very adaptable adventure too - very easy to add extra waves of baddies or have events happen simultaneously to create more of a pressure cooker for your more experienced group. Overall it was a perfect festive themed game with zero prep time needed on my side and a thrilling experience for the players.
