By Paco Garcia Jaen and Endzeitgeist



Welcome friends to the first of hopefully many episodes of a new show, the
RPG Review Room, in which we’ll bring the most prolific reviewer out there,
Endzeitgeist to bring us reviews of the best and worst products he’s recently
read.



To make sure he’s not the carrying all the weight of the reviews, which would
be very unfair on him, I will endeavour to also read and therefore review, as
many games as  possible. 



So in this occasion we start with Kobold Press, The Rise of the Drow
Kickstarter and something to do with lycanthropes that Endzeitgeist has actually
authored and not just reviewed. Yep! That’s all I’ll say… you’ll have to listen
to the podcast to find out more! It’ll be worth it!



We also talk about:



Panataxia: One of the Four Dollar Dungeons, a series
of standalone adventures designed to be logical, entertaining, challenging and
balanced, and easily integrated into any campaign world.



Each adventure has enough material to last two to three playing sessions and
enough experience to raise four characters of the appropriate level up by one
extra level. Treasure is commensurate with the encounter challenges faced.
Scaling information is included for adventuring parties of five or six.



It Came from the Stars Campaign Guide: The It Came from the
Stars Campaign Guide brings the mystery of the unknown and the weird to your
Pathfinder Roleplaying Game with new player options, new monsters and other GM
options, and new adventures. Mystery, wonder, and terror from the starry
vastness await you. Whether you play in a world that is already aware of what
lies beyond or that has been so far oblivious, it’s about to get ugly.



The Slaver Caves of Dorden: In the dark winter months near the
hamlet of Baruth, a menace is growing. Locals have been kidnapped and sold into
slavery in the mines to the north. Recently liberated from a cold and
calculating dictator, the town seeks heroes to mount a rescue. Far beneath the
foreboding Mountains of Dorden, an evil that has remained hidden for centuries
will soon be unleashed on the realms unless someone intervenes to save those
kidnapped and stop the growing evil.



Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Ultimate Campaign: Where the
dungeon ends, another adventure begins! Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Ultimate
Campaign takes you on a guided tour through the parts of the game that
happen between monster attacks and quests for ancient artefacts. As some of the
most powerful and prestigious heroes around, do your player characters want to
build up a kingdom of their own, or lead an army against a neighboring nation?
Perhaps they want to start a business, craft magic items, or embark on a quest
that will come to define them. Whether you’re looking for help generating a
young character or seeking ways to challenge adventurers who’ve grown bored of
fighting monsters one-on-one, this book has everything you need!



Ultimate Rulership: If your characters are building a kingdom,
you cannot miss this 40-page product! Designed as a perfect complement to the
newly revised kingdom-building system, Ultimate Rulership contains a
dazzling array of new options including new Edicts for royal commissions and
endowments, espionage and festivals, and militarism and recruiting new armies.
Add nearly 20 new buildings for your cities from Aeries to Tunnels, Hanging
Gardens to Crematoria. Guidelines for population and military recruitment, and
for integrating settlement attributes, kingdom events, and danger levels;
naturally advantageous sites and exotic city locales from cliff dwellings to
treetop towns to cities under the sea!



Achtung! Cthulhu: Achtung! Cthulhu brings you a two-fisted
wartime CALL OF CTHULHU roleplaying game setting packed full of fiendish Nazis,
terrifying ancient mysteries, legendary war machines, and enough writhing
tentacles to fill ten Reichstags!



¡Gañanes! is a roleplaying from the Cliffhanger range of
products by Spanish editorial Ludotecnia. A collection of quick to prepare and
fast to run role playing games sold in shops for €3.50, which is very cheap for
you and me.
