Basic Fantasy RPG Core Rules 4thEd
Publisher: The Basic Fantasy Project
by Lesley N. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 08/11/2023 18:33:49

This book is one of the best made D&D spin offs in existence. One book, all inclusive, nothing else required. Well printed, and not a very large tome to burden your table space. I will place it above other well known efforts such as OSE, OSRIC, and the various editions of actual D&D. Dark Dungeons X, Castles and Crusades, and no doubt I could mention a few others. The price is very right, and the product is very well crafted.

Buy the hardover, you deserve the hardcover :)

But I just went page by page by page with my 3rd edition. A few art works omitted. A few new artworks. A bit more content in magic spells for a few spells. A few additional monsters. But the 4th edition is only needed by those that don't have the 3rd edition. There is really only about a 5% difference. The pages are mostly identical in most of the book.

At 13 bucks though, well you can always buy it to be kind to the author :) It's a small price.

I originally bought the softcover, changed my mind and got the hardcover. So the softcover is my players book :)

Micro RPG-R: Fantasy Game Starter Book
Publisher: Micro RPG
by Lesley N. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 02/26/2023 16:12:10

This won't take long. It's 1.99, don't bust a brain cell over this decision. I think it is a good effort.

Nice illustrations, but mainly well arranged text. 44 well arranged pages of d6 design goodness. Fairly complete concept. This is what I routinely wish came properly printed on demand. But it makes an alright print and spiral bound item.

The character creation process is quick and complete. The DM section charts tables tools etc are nice crafted.

There is no beaten to death always the same 4 races, and the classes are not the same old ones either. Enjoy the difference for once. The bestiary is unique as well ('unique', I'm being kind here), I'm likely going to just give them other names. I personally would be unable to respect any DM that couldn't just call the races something else, and the classes something else. It's the mechanics that counts.

Lastly, Hero History. Are you seriously going to let this page ruin your fun? Let's be frank, blunt even. If you can't play this game because of this page, why are you even on Drivthrurpg? Didn't you know role gaming is eeeevil :)

BareBones Fantasy Role Playing Game
Publisher: DwD Studios
by Lesley N. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 11/04/2022 10:39:57

Hmm, a slight edit. Arrived in the mail today. I was not aware it was a trade paperback sized hardcover. At about 6x9 inches, this is very portable friendly. Purse sized. About 1/2 inch thick. And yet it is not lacking in completeness. It just become my primary coffee shop Solo RPG option for use with my Dungeon Crawler product.

Labyrinth Lord: Revised Edition (no-art version)
Publisher: Goblinoid Games
by Lesley N. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 10/31/2022 18:46:31

oh, another BECMI clone :) Ok, it is just another BECMI clone, but, it isn't mired in clutter. It's free, so for Lord's sake stop complaining :)

The no art version is nice. Not because of printing ink, who today does their own printing? It's 140 pages if you add a few PC sheets. The low art just means it reads easy. Use the occasional blank space for some notes.

I am uncertain this is a 30 dollar hardcover purchase. It's competing with the likes of Basic Fantasy role play at 17 bucks for hardcover. But this likely would do well enough on a tablet. And remember, it's free. If you want to go all in, my advice, buy the Companion pdf, and have both printed as a single item and spiral bound.

The thing is, once you reach 300 pages of black and white printing cost, you are likely better off to buy the Rules Cyclopedia colour hardcover print on demand and play real BECMI.

The GameMaster's Apprentice: Fantasy Deck
Publisher: Larcenous Designs, LLC
by Lesley N. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 10/31/2022 18:21:39

As I said, I'd review when they arrived, they arrived :)

First off, the deck box is a nice sturdy item. Second, the size is pocket friendly.

And 3rd THIRD!! this product is very well made. Because both sides are employed, there is no dead weight surfaces. Smooth slick surface means shuffling is very nice. This could be one of the best DM treats I have given to myself. I might get the base deck, but I think this deck can handle any of my needs.

Dungeon Geomorph Toolkit Set 1
Publisher: Gold Piece Publications
by Lesley N. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 10/22/2022 14:13:22

This product certainly hasn't reinvented the wheel in any fashion. But, it does a good enough effort. It earned my puny dollar :)

I'll likely print it out and get use out of the effort.

Outdoor Geomorphs Set 1 - Walled City (OD&D & Basic)
Publisher: Wizards of the Coast
by Lesley N. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 10/22/2022 14:07:22

It is what it is, a quick easy method of making a simple set of geomorphs for an unplanned need for a well illustrated cliche fantasy genre urban setting in a developed walled city.

It's old school blue map style and the building images are of sufficient size to be easy to number. I rarely see this product need done this ideally this well.

It's a good enough use of a 5er.

On a tablet with the usual screen expansion capacity, this will perform well.

d30 DM Companion
Publisher: New Big Dragon Games Unlimited
by Lesley N. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 10/22/2022 14:00:29

A nice 40 page companion to the other D30 product D30 Sandbox. I'm likely to print out both as a single print task.

Full of well organized content for the DM.

Well worth your few bucks.

d30 Sandbox Companion
Publisher: New Big Dragon Games Unlimited
by Lesley N. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 10/22/2022 13:51:44

40 pages of above average content printed in what looks like Landscape format layout.

If you are a DM with a fondness for random generation products, this one is worrth considering.

You certainly get your 3 bucks worth of content. I'm likely going to add this to my printing tasks.

It might sit well on your tablet of choice.

The Solo Dungeon Crawler
Publisher: 5e Solo Gamebooks
by Lesley N. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 09/29/2022 21:57:59

This item, a whole dollar investment :) is one of those rare treats well worth your measely buck :)

The suggestion to have it laminated is also worthy of mention.

I grabbed up this one and the wilderness companion item.

The Solo Adventurers Tool box releases (same creator) are likely a better purchased as a book though, and not as a pdf. Pdf for 30 bucks still requires it to be printed out. Print outs are not free. You might as well do like me, and just buy the physical book.

Pity the books are not here on DrivthruRPG, but on the other location (which requires a new log in).

D100 Dungeon - Mapping Game Print and Play (Accessory 1)
Publisher: Martin Knight
by Lesley N. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 08/14/2022 18:39:11

Ok, if ya just gets the pdf purchase, of course YOU get to print it out :) The service that can make you the spiffy option already made and good to go might seem like it is more expensive than you can do. Maybe, maybe not.

I chose to do it myself, at my usual professional printer. I'm guessing I paid more. I paid for colour on full page size labels. Simple method, attach to bristol board and cut out. (a lot of cutting and make sure you have high grade scisoors too). I'm pleased with my results, but I like making things.

My advice to most people, let that other service make it for you, unless you are like me :) It's a few days of really lengthy scissor action even if yer good at it.

But regardless of how you end up with it, the results are cool. Sooo much easier than drawing the rooms one at a time. Unless you really like doing it I suppose. I have bought all 6 books. Printed out the character pages. I'm looking forward to having a blast. And I think this mapping game add on will just be the super sweet cherry on the top of the cake :)

I've bought quite a LOT of rolegaming items in 45 years, I'm not expecting anything to top d100 Dungeon easily. I can't even picture what something better would even look like.
