Skirmisher Publishing present another solid piece of DM/GM resource! "100 Oddities for a Viking Encounter" is their tenth in the series and delivers more good (and fun!) content than it's predecessors! In fact, it includes an extra 50 oddities! And whose game doesn't need a good Viking encounter or three??

A great literary piece from the Swords of Kos setting, this time in 5th ed scripting. Ready to use within the SoK setting or drop any of the content directly into your own campaign! Concise and quality! I especially like the guardians..... but telling any more would spoil the fun!

A solid 5 star effort! :)

Miniatures…. miniatures… miniatures.

We love them. The heft of a metal miniature in your hand as you place it on the tabletop playing field. The admiration of the skill and patience needed to paint them, often 3 or 4 layers of paint. Each action, painstakingly precise to make each brushstroke sing.

Me however, I am just as effective at painting a miniature with a fine tipped brush as I would be shooting it with a paintball gun.

That is why I love the Skirmisher Publishing LLC’s Cardstock Characters for the Swords of Kos Fantasy Campaign Setting; The Heroes and Monsters of the Necropolis. The guys and girls at Skirmisher have taken their famed setting and brought it to the physical world with this publication. Amanda Kahl has surpassed herself with her artwork, breathing life into the characters from Kos. The descriptions of the main characters allow for quick gameplay as well as easy transition into your own game setting. The level of detail in the constructing the Cardstock Characters is methodical and precise to a fault. I dare say IKEA instructions would look like indecipherable hieroglyphics in comparison.

Whether printed in colour or black and white, these card miniatures are fantastic and will suit any gaming table, and would be an asset to any serious gamer’s repertoire.

If Lewis Carroll was alive and well today, in the 21st Century, he would be a gamer. He would be an old school gamer, he would have this book in his collection, and it would be no more than a fingertip away.

Skirmisher’s “Adventures in Wonderland” is a wonderland itself; behind the cover lays a range of topics and material both perceptive and comprehensive, whilst leaving enough room to allow the GM to make the final “tweaks” to cater to their needs.

This volume includes stats and descriptions on a multitude of Wonderland characters and creatures including The Mad Hatter & March Hare, Card People, The White Rabbit, and The Queen of Hearts. It also includes; new skills and feats such as Take a Beating, new spells and magic items such as the Robe of Hearts, adventure hooks and location descriptions such as the Hall of Doors and Queen of Hearts’ Croquet Ground.

All in all, this is a great supplement from Skirmisher for the discerning GM and would suit any number of gaming systems and provides for a humorous and quirky adventure whether main or side.

When it comes to Random Tables, I usually have to wade through them to; A) make sure that they are geographically appropriate to the campaign setting at the time and B) make sure that they are not contrary to campaign material (ie, if you say that the world is low magic and the random encounter is a highly magical creature).

Skirmisher's "The Jester Dragon's Random Tavern Generator" is as it advertises, that is to say; a random tavern generator. It covers the essential topics of a good tavern and allows for tweaking the fun little things. If you don't need a table within the generator, don't use it. If you already want to use a particular predetermined NPC or encounter in the tavern, the generator is incredibly flexible so that you can insert your data.

It is complete in its simplicity, allowing you the GM to set the scene, tailor the small details and let the adventure hooks begin!
