I actually purchased this for use with "Call of Cthulhu" and it is perfect for that game. It is easily able to serve as the archetypal archeology "dig," or the secret lab buried out beyond the old Curwen Farm, or even, in a pinch, some handy ghoul tunnels beneath the rotting, gambrel-roofed houses of ancient Arkham. Be warned though -- this is not a standard CoC supplement -- it's simply a set of maps and layouts with places for you to note things and describe the rooms, halls and tunnels in more detail. It's a major time saver for the Keeper that needs something now and doesn't have a lot of time to make it up himself, but it will still require some work to be useful.

The production quality of the product was outstanding, and the reproduction quality from DriveThru RPG was excellent. I actually purchased this as part of a "bundle" including "Vampire Lair," and "Sinister Ruins." Of the three products, this one was the best for my purposes, though all were well done and potentially useful. Overall, I rate the "Barrow Tomb" as a solid five.

Barrow Tomb is an interesting product. For myself, I've been messing with doing up some kobolds in the style of the old Necromancer's Legacy product from 3.0 and needed something like this. Unfortunately, as noted on the product description page, the map files aren't really made for miniature use. Now note the product does say you can copy them and enlarge them and that the resolution is high enough but that's a little too much work for a lazy bastich like me. However, at the product price point, this is a solid value if, like me, your mapping skills can best be described as... managable. Barrow Tomb includes a player version, GM version, slanted version, as well as up close versions of different sections with room to write down the encounters.
