It’s been several months (back in December 2010 if you can believe it) since I cross-posted any links from Game Knight Reviews over here… So I thought I’d go ahead and include a list of recent articles & reviews in case anybody was interested.
Evidently I’ve been busy!

Hi there!
Just wanted to let you know that a review of 650 City Encounter Seeds & Plots from Johnn Four at Roleplaying Tips went live early last week on Game Knight Reviews…
650 City Encounter Seeds & Plots offers what you’d expect – a list of 650 thought-provoking ideas to help when planning a city-based adventure. There’s a solid mix of coincidence and deliberate attempts to suck the PCs into particular plots. And even if you don’t use them “as is” – there should be plenty there to get the creative juices flowing if you need a jump start.
The book definitely has some cool ideas between the covers – and the price (free) can’t be beat. Check out the full review over at Game Knight Reviews!

Hi there!
I’ve posted another couple of reviews on Game Knight Reviews…
A review of Advanced Feats: The Summoner’s Circle from Sigfried Trent and Open Design and a review of Warrior, Rogue, & Mage from Michael Wolf of Stargazer Games.
The Summoner’s Circle provides a fresh take on the Summoner class in Pathfinder. By adding a unique, wizard-crafted creature you can summon to your side, you gain some additional muscle when you need it and not just mindless critters fighting for you.
Warrior, Rogue & Mage (WR&M) offers a simplified, yet elegant rules system with limitless possibilities for fantasy roleplaying. Using a single d6 you and the rest of your party can focus on role-playing instead of roll-playing and still have the flexibility and balanced rules you may have been looking for.
Both have some interesting crunch to dive into, so be sure to check them out if you’re looking for a new game (WR&M) or some new tools for Patfhinder!

Hi there!
I’ve posted another review on Game Knight Reviews, this time of the 2010 holiday issue of Kobold Quarterly. Once again, the kobolds have carefully crafted a tome worthy of your attention – from druids and traps to giant ants and mounted combat, there’s plenty to whet your appetite.
Wolfgang Baur and his crew at KQ/Open Design have done it again, so be sure to check it out here at GKR!

Hi all…
In case you missed it on my reviews blog, I wrote about Brother Ptolemy and the Hidden Kingdom over at Game Knight Reviews. Nevermet Press has put together a heck of a setting and adventure that would fit nicely into most of the D&D-based campaigns (4e or 3.5e really, though the book is tailored for 4e) I’ve played in in recent years.
Jonathan Jacobs and the rest of the gang at Nevermet have created a worthwhile villain in Brother Ptolemy. He really thinks he’s doing the right thing, which just amps up the creep factor for me. It’s these morally wrong people who feel they’re helping their fellow man that always make the best villains!
Check out the review here at GKR!
