A gritty superhero adventure set in an alternate history where the Soviet Union never collapsed, and the Cold War rages on into the 1990s. The supers in this world are high-skill, no-power heroes who encounter a very powerful menace.
The adventure includes playtest notes (a rarity in adventures like this, and I always enjoy seeing them), six pre-made characters that fit the story and setting rather well, and a set of printable paper minis to use for the adventure. The character art is fair to good, and the formatting is clear and easy to read. It's a nice package for a reasonable price.

I'm a big fan of this series. The characters are unique and well detailed, and there is an incredible amount of story-rich material packed in just a few pages, with a high-quality piece of character art to top all of it off. Jack Avery is a police officer with a dark secret - he is haunted by a supernatural beast that only he can see.
Jack is a modern-day character best suited for a horror setting, but could be modified to fit in other genres. This product is systemless, so that you can use it with the RPG system of your choosing.

A great set of printable cards for Battletech vehicles, mechs and protomechs. Very handy, especially for large battles. All are grayscale and print up very nicely.

More excellent line art from Postmortem, this famine demon could really use a sandwich. And some pants.

A great little supplement for anyone interested in bringing vampires into their Hero game, this book contains lore and game stats for several different types of bloodsucker: Standard (with lesser and greater varieties), Dhampir, Bestial, Realistic, Asanbosam, Baobhan Sith, Chiang-Shih, Langsuir, Loango, Penanggalan, Sundal Bolong, Vpir, and Vrykolakas. This book is in black and white, the art ranges from the fair to very good (one or two pieces are cartoonish), and the whole book is full of info - there is very little wasted space.

Great line art from Bradley McDevitt - this would look great in any old-school fantasy or horror RPG.

A nice looking set of utopian sci-fi paper minis, presented in two formats - two-sided and three-sided "tri-foot" minis that are a bit more stable. All are full color, and have a detailed image on each side of the mini. Includes workers, senators, citizens, and other characters that would fit well into a sci-fi RPG, and a foldup shuttle to take them offplanet.

Great-looking paper minis of Greek soldiers and other characters (a Greek Princess and a Nymph) that come in two configurations - two-sided flat figures and three-sided "tri-foot" figures that are a bit more stable. All figures are in color and have full character images on all sides. Perfect for a massive Greek wargame, or for your next Mazes & Minotaurs campaign!

A great one-night scenario for the Slasher Flick RPG, designed to be a quick and easy for the Director to read and prepare. The layout is clear and well-organized, and provides several opportunities to customize the game to the tastes of the Director and players. (I particularly liked the option to allow players to act out the roles of the killer's first two kills, as a foreshadowing scene).
Includes maps and a detailed backstory for the Carter Mansion, the setting for this Midnite Movie.

A nice collection of material for Tombs & Terrors that includes a variety of new classes for the game. The text is clear, the art ranges from fair to very good, and the price is right.

A neat addition to most any RPG, these cards provide random bonuses to PCs, both generic and class-specific. Three different methods are provided for distributing/awarding the cards to players (and I've begun to cook up some others of my own that may work well, also).
The old-school style artwork is a nice touch - and while the instructions mention printing the cards onto cardstock and cutting them out, I think another workable alternative would be to print them onto sticker paper, then cut them out and affix them to a regular deck of playing cards.
This is a great little product that can add some fun variety to classic fantasy RPGs.

This Savage Worlds sourcebook is packed with information on running a game in the zombie apocalypse/survival horror genre - a "zombie kit" for SW games. Many options and possibilities are provided, many of them based on popular tropes from zombie movies, films, and fiction - the cause of the uprising, the attributes of zombies (slow vs. fast, intelligent or unintelligent, etc.), the aspects of survival, and more. While most subjects don't get more than a paragraph or two of attention, there is enough of a springboard to help the GM develop the apocalyptic world he truly desires.
The book includes sections on fighting zombies (with lots of info on different types of weapons and tactics), a very rich scenario section (which includes scenarios set in different time periods), a "Zombinomicon" of different zombie types, and an adventure set during the American Civil War.
This is an excellent treatment of the zombie genre that is well-organized, and filled with great horror artwork. While best used for Savage Worlds, a lot of the material here would be useful for inspiration for any RPG, and it's very reasonably priced.

An excellent reprinting and expansion of a Judge's Guild classic. The images and text are very clear, with only a few image artifacts.
The original Starships and Spacecraft includes Ship's Title Papers, a design spec sheet, ship summary sheet, crew roster sheet, six different ship styles (with summary sheets for each), and numerous smaller craft (mostly shuttles).
The new material added to this classic book include a comparative ship size chart, a new shuttle type, and some ground vehicles. The pages with new and updated material are all clearly marked as such.

A nice set of high-quality tiles for any fantasy or medieval RPG that uses miniatures. These tiles are very detailed and colorful, and don't have much of that cut-and-paste repetition you often see in other maps and tilesets. This set includes overlays for the interior of the building (in case PCs decide to investigate it) and for a ruined bridge (in case the PCs or NPCs have been a little destructive or careless).

This book contains stats and paper minis of characters for the Coliseum Morpheuon setting. Most of the material here is already included in the original book, so it won't be as much use to anyone who already owns it - but by itself, it's a good set of paper minis done in a somewhat cartoonish style, great if you're playing a fantasy anime RPG, or running a game for kids.
