What is the correct text?

The Scarred Lands have returned. More than a module The Dagger of Spiragos is a great resource for Savage Scarred Lands fans an Savage Worlds fans as well. We get the second part of a great story plus much more. More npcs, more monsters and THE JACK OF TEARS AND HIS CARNIVAL KREWE.

In these...divided times (pun not intended), it's understandable to want to vent your feelings about an increasingly unequal society and this provides the framework for doing just that.

It combines the streamlined nature of SWADE with the scathing satire of good cyberpunk/dystopian sci-fi and allows you to explore far more themes through its additional rules, character options, and setting information that its limited page count might suggest.

This Sharp looking product will Jumpstart you Savage Worlds Scarred Lands Campaign. It contains setting rules, a list of the Languages of Scarn, the Ancestries of Scarn, which gives you information on playable races, and Cultural Packages.

BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE! 6 PREGENERATED CHARACTERS AND A AWESOME SCENARIO SO YOU CAN START RIGHT AWAY.

THE Scarred Lands comes to Savage Words.

Gauntlet of Spiragos is a dungeon crawl adventure set in the Scarred Lands, a fantasy campaign setting that dates back to the early day of the d20 OGL. This adventure provides a great entry point to the setting and captures its core identity: a world barely recovering and still marked (well, scarred really) by a cataclysmic war between divine entities. Beyond pure dungeon crawling, the adventure hints at a larger world (such as a potential religious schism among the spider-eye goblins, a shadowy necromancer who looms as a threat over the adventure, etc). The adventure gathers all relevant lore information about the region and the peoples involved to play right away, without having to search through the myriad of Scarred Lands books published elsewhere.

The layout is clear and includes tactical maps if you feel the need, but it can be probably run without these maps by using a theater of the mind approach.

In addition to converting the adventure (and the monsters), this supplement provides starter packs to play in the Scarred Lands. It makes a clear distinction between cultural heritage (which culture raised your character) and physiological traits (traits that you gain because you are an elf, dwarf, serpent-folk, etc), which is great way to adress with the rich diversity of the Scarred Lands and its peoples.

The Scarred Lands are coming to Savage Worlds. In case you haven't heard. The Blood Reaper is the first of their Creature Profiles. Not only did I get a cool new tough monster to use for my gamed. For a moment I was transported back to one of my favorite settings The Scarred Lands.

Seems that I'm the first person to give this product only 3 stars. So let me explain...

I have not heard about O&O before this second (SWADE) edition. But what I heard sounded like a sword&sorcery fantasy world with cool new ideas and without the usual clichés of elves, dwarves, orcs, knights and princesses. The kickstarter products (rulebook and "bizarre kingdoms") also sounded like a restart of the project that would be a suitable starting point for new entrants.

Turns out that this is not the case. The world description in the rulebook is very superficial. The kingdoms that are discussed here are on 1/2 - 1 page each; general information about what is and isn't possible in this world is largely missing. Lots of terms refer to maps that are not present in the book (and no, they're not present in the pay-what-you-want map that you can buy separately, either). Btw, the descriptions of the major kingdoms are not in the "Bizarre Kingdoms" book either, where only some more exotic locations are discussed. Instead, customers are asked to buy the first edition gazetteer, which seems to be a collection of disparate essays without a real world introduction.

What seems to be missing here is the book "between" the rulebook and the "Bizarre Kingdoms" - a real, proper introduction to the world, its workings and its most important realms.

Don't get me wrong - I do like what I see about those realms, it's just far to sketchy to give me a real mental image of the lands. For example, I have abolutely no idea about the tech levels available here. Some illustrations hint at "sword and sorcery" / iron age fantasy, while others are much more modern (just look at the latex-and-leather abyss-kissed dominatrix on the cover). So is the O&O world in reality yet another "everything goes" fantasy setting? From what I read here, I couldn't even tell...

In a sense, the same holds for the rules. Yes, the "Ancestries" and "Domains" sections are nice, as they restrict the choices and give the world a unique touch. But then, after discussing the main ancestries, almost all Fantasy Companion ancestries (including elves and dwarves...) are declared as "rare, but existant" - so everything's possible again? Well, the reply to the "which magical backgrounds to use?" question here in DTRPG seems to point in this direction: "all of them are fine". Okay, if this is true, then I came to the wrong place.

Overall, the second edition feels incomplete to me. And my gut feeling is that this is a shame, as the setting looks promising and the material itself seems to be there (after all, first edition has quite a publication history). It's just not well presented in this introductory book to the new edition.

tl;dr: I'm not sure whether O&O 2nd edition knows what it wants to be. Is it a special setting with a unique flavour? In this case, a lot of material is missing to provide the reader with a clear picture, and it would be helpful to also restrict some options to give it a more coherent, unique feel. Or is it just another D&D-inspired kitchen sink fantasy setting just like hundreds of others? In this case, I don't see the USP compared to the much better endowed (in terms of number of pages, illustrations, product output, players etc.) competitors...

One of my favourite Urban Fantasy adventures. If this is the last release of Contagion Second Edition (Geek is more like an Epilogue) then it is a very fun ending.

Great black and white images. Good detail. Evocative. One or two fewer monster chests in favor of other Things would've been nice.

While a few of the Kin in the book were covered later in the Dragonbane Beastiary, Catkin, Orcs and Goblins, everything else is still very useful and worth the 2$ asking price. Although looking at the random Kin chart in the beggining Gnome is listen when no such kin is listed in the book. And in fact "gnome" is used as a name for earth elementals in the main book. Doesnt take away from the overall product however.

I like this product and recommend it. Note that both the Core Savage Worlds rules and the Fantasy Companion are needed to use this product (standard assumptions for this system).

The good: Art is very well-done and provides inspiration for the setting. The base ideas for the various races are novel. Significant effort was made to port over many magic items from the d20 source material along with many new Powers. There is one new Arcane Background. The Bestiary is extensive. There is an introductory adventure included.

The bad: No map of the described world area is provided. There is no guidance for recommended Arcane Backgrounds, Setting Rules, arms, armor, equipment, or general technology level. The amount of description for the local civilizations is minimal. There is no discussion of how the new Arcane Background fits in with the races/cultures/nations.

All in all, I think that this is worth your money but hope that the author makes some updates so that I can edit this review to 5 stars.

We had a bunch of demons in our Advanved Kit so we needed some demon art which is hard to get without crossing into Wizard's IP.

While there are the core idea of some interesting characters here they are not fully fleshed out. They could use more background, some adventure seeds, maybe some normal people they are tied to. And, since you have all of these characters in one product, why would you not suggest some ties and confliects between them to spur ideas for the GM?

The character sheets are bare bones and could also use some additional details to make them easier to use.

But if character descriptions appeal to you and you are willing to put in some extra work to flesh these characters out, and fit them into your game world, it may be worthwhile picking up as it is not too expensive.

Excellent product. It bears a clean design, and the grid is both simply and effective. We need more large-scale, moddiable maps like this!

The creator was highly helpful with my specific needs for this product. I highly recommend, especially for the price!

A great supplement for the Plane of Shadows in 5E, with cool player options, cool monsters, and even a ready-made delve so that you can jump right in the action!
