Vote on What Gets Moved to the Top of the Tavern's Review Pile - Because it's a Damn Big Pile!

I have a shitload of stuff to review, and I'm failing badly at doing so. Work is taking up more time then it had (which means overtime and more money to spend on goodies, so I'm not really complaining) but it does mean free time is at a premium.

So, I'm letting you vote on what gets moved to the top of the review pile (one random voter gets a $5 RPGNow credit, so there is an added bonus in voting).

In no particular order:

Adventures Dark & Deep Players Manual - a AD&D 2e "what if".

City State of the Sea Kings - a new Wilderlands sourcebook / campaign.

Five Ancient Kingdoms - a new arabic twist to a classic ruleset - and no D20's either

Whitehack - a nice, compact OSR style game that steps away from the OSR

Arrows of Indra - OSR gaming inspired by the subcontinent of India

The Dungeon Alphabet, Expanded Third Printing - do I need to explain what this is? ;)

Stoneheart Valley - just noticed the S&W version says "Pathfinder" on the cover - that's going to make for some confusing retail sales.

Tome of Horrors 4 - the latest monster book from Frog God

The Free City of Eskadia - a city book for C&C

Call of Cthulhu 6th Edition - cause Halloween is right around the corner

Army Ants RPG - 'cause I almost forgot ;)


I'll leave the voting up through Saturday evening.

Vote on the blog or G+. Vote for up to 3 choices. All picks get equal weight.

  3. - Adventures Dark & Deep (Been on my radar for a long time.)
    - Stoneheart Valley (Supposed to be an update of 3E era Necromancer Games modules now updated and connected fully into a setting, would like to see how that turned out.)
    - The Free City of Eskadia (Seen the Troll Lord preorder a while ago. I have the C&C rulebooks, but none of their setting stuff. Curious how that goes.)

  5. Weren't there a few DCC RPG adventures (cough, cough) that you meant to review, but didn't get to?

    1. one arrived today ;)

      DCC Adventures can get reviewed between the others, which are mostly longer (by a wide margin) than the DCC adventures.

      So, they will be my mental breaks between the longer and larger reviews ;)

    But yeah, City state of the Sea Kings too, because it's a terrific book for us JG fans, and Chris is a great guy in person.

  30. Adventures Dark and Deep

    I want to see what it's like from your perspective. Since it's in print through RPGnow instead of LuLu, I can't wrangle a deal for it, and I can't combine it into one of my larger lulu orders... so I'm hesitant to pick it up.

  32. I would love to see your thoughts on Army Ants, but I get it that there are only so many hours in the day, and you have a big pile of awesome to sort through. Thanks for including my game in the semi-finals!
