Uncaged Volume I – Part One of a Dungeon Masters Guild Review

05/06/2019 / / 1 Comment

This review is coming in two parts because this book is worth taking time with! Part one covers all 14 of the Tier 1 adventures (character levels 1-4).

Unique among one-shot adventure collections in that Uncaged has a tightly unifying theme gloriously realized through adventure scenarios that often feature tough moral dilemmas, Uncaged Volume I is a triumph. It is beautifully laid out with several tools that make it incredibly easy to navigate it’s 26 adventures, many of which feature new monsters, magic items, and encounter maps. With the exception of maybe one or two missing references that might affect gameplay, the editing is incredibly consistent, making it a joy to read. If you’re looking for one-shots that are more than just dungeoncrawls, there might not be a better release out there.

Rating: Content 5/5 and Form 4/5

Live to Tell the Tale – An Introduction to Combat Tactics for Dungeons & Dragons Players 1st Edition Review

04/26/2019 / / 0 Comments

NOTE! This review was originally posted to neurophaser.com on 5/30/2017, and looks at the First Edition of Live to Tell the Tale – An Introduction to Combat Tactics for Dungeons & Dragons Players. I’m posting it here because I plan to review the Second Edition very, very soon!

Live to Tell the Tale – An Introduction to Combat Tactics for Dungeons & Dragons Players by Keith Ammann — creator of the blog The Monsters Know What They’re Doing — is an in-depth study of the combat system of D&D, as well as the class- and ability-related features of characters and how they can optimize their tactics (rather than their stats) to fight smart and work as a team while still playing the characters they want. This isn’t about building a “perfect” character so much as it’s about how to play smart and have fun doing it with whatever character you roll up, build, or are handed as a pregen. It is a necessary read for understanding the consequences and permutations of the D&D 5th edition rules, and can strengthen the game of every player and DM!

Rating: Content 5/5 and Form 4/5.

Buy the PDF at Spy & Owl <– ED. – This link now points to the Second Edition.

Rolled & Told Issue #7 (March 2019) Review

04/24/2019 / / 0 Comments

Sporting the comic book format I love oh so much, Rolled & Told returns in March 2019 with two strong adventures, and a few articles that are worth a read, even when they aren’t touching on directly game-able material for you to use in D&D 5th edition. Overall, it’s another solid issue, but it does have a few minor formatting issues that I’d love to see rectified in future issues.
