This is probably a seminal RPG work. It's that good. This is not going to give you floorplans, but it's going to teach you all about the basic thought processes and considerations that went into real castle-building. This is a book that should sit next to ICE's 'Castles and Strongholds' as the perfect companion, and by the time you're done, you'll likely know more than you ever wanted to about building a castle. But the pay off begins when you look at your game map and decided where to site that castle, and you'll know why it sits on 'this' hill and not 'that' hill, and you'll understand why a castle has the elements it has and how they're used. It will make a world of difference to the game play.
Highly recommended....

Another fine Darkfuries product, this is well drawn, extensive floorplans, good descriptions.
It falls short, however, in not offering full-size maps of the entire structure in both a GM and a Player version. This hurts the product because it's such a large castle. It wouldn't hurt to also include a drawing from the outside, to 'set the mood'. It's annoying to only be able to print out half a map at a time.
Still, as usual, lots of bang-for-buck at $5. Recommended.

There are only 3 map settings in this book, however, the level of quality in the first two is extensive and well thought out, with a lot of detail and plenty of substance for to build a scenario around. That detail and intelligent design merits 5 stars.

Good quality product, you get a nice selection of floor plans and the layouts suggest that some thought went into the placement of the rooms and the prospect of what's in each one. Recommended.

If you're looking for a MAP, this isn't it. These are simple pictures, the most complex of which is what you see on the cover picture. There are no grids on the images, no scale, and very little to distinguish one building from the next. 'Details' such as buildings and foliage appear to be randomly stamped about without the rhyme or reason which should dictate the development of a town or village. You get very little for your $5 with this product.

Overall this is a pretty fun game. It's a very simple game with not much too it. It only takes 30 - 45 minutes to play (if that) and is resolved pretty easily. It's nothing like law & order though like some people might think. You basically just roll (literally dice wise) through the entire scenario. The solitaire part isn't too bad while the multiplayer part is slightly more fun in my opinion since you don't know everything that's coming plus it's harder. The only real complaint I have is that i had to read the entire PDF twice because I couldn't understand it the first time through. Good thing it isn't long ;) All in all, this is a pretty good game with simple mechanics (once you understand) and a neat solitaire system....

Now the download works! Knew you guys would get it fixed. The game itself is very enjoyable. I would rank it as one of the best army level 28mm games currently available. Excellent mechanics that provide a believable command experience without complicated rules. Plus the models are very nice!

Ok, I don't know why this (free) magazine has never hit my radar, but this is solid gold. I felt like I was reading an 80's White Dwarf with new stuff in it. Their avowed aim is "to introduce YOU to the games you don’t yet know", which is something that they achieved well with 4 in depth, well written and informative reviews (Cutlass, Star Trek Expeditions, Strange Aeons Expansions and Rogue Trader) and a solid interview.
The only things missing from a WD were the scenarios and articles, but that's not what they're about and so it can't be held against them.
Lots of great miniatures artwork and some useful ads and contacts help round it off. Well worth the read - a real nostalgia trip, but with new stuff. And did I mention it's free?
(By the way Magazine Team, you could do yourselves a favour by briefly listing the contents on the article page here, it would help people to know where you're at)...

I like them, but they don't seem to be dark enough or vibrant enough. The road size is good for the 1/64 scale cars I'm using for Car Wars.

The following review was originally posted at Roleplayers Chronicle and can be read in its entirety at http://roleplayerschronicle.com/?p=21583.
Basic Tavern is a free offering from the recently create DramaScape. Although it’s free, it doesn’t fall short of detail or visual perfection. In fact, it is quite a stunning battlemap with a great number of details within. The tavern itself is very simple with a door on both short walls, an assortment of tables, a fire place, a kitchen, and a wooden floor area. To coincide with the beauty of the battlemap is a front cover illustration depicting the battlemap as you would see it from the main door.
OVERALL
For a free product, this is an amazingly detailed battlemap. Combine that with the front-door perspective on the cover and you end up with an exquisite look at everything within the tavern.

This is another great set of minis from PERMES. Very detailed and with different combinations of weapons for each figure. I only wish that the pirate with the crutch had another version without it.

One Monk set the standard when it comes to paper figures. Looking at these brilliant figures, it is no reason why.
Top-notch artwork, beautiful colors, and very original, yet familiar concepts. All this, AND it is FREE!!
Great set!

You can't beat One Monk Miniatures when it comes to quality paper miniatures.
They offer rich, beautiful detail, and artwork that is second-to-none.
A great set of things you might want to avoid in a dark dungeon!
