DriveThruRPG reviews for February 2013
By Icosahedrophilia
With everything else I had going on during February 2013, I only managed to review one product for DriveThruRPG:
- Dungeonlands Original Soundtrack by Alex Cottrell for Savage Mojo. Let’s start with the most obvious plus: this is beautiful, inspiring music. … Now for the bad part: if you’re thinking about using these tracks as soundscapes to score an RPG session, I think you’ll be disappointed … [because] the tracks don’t loop. At all. … And so the value of this product depends on its purpose. I won’t be using any of these tracks at the gaming table, because of the looping problem I mentioned earlier. However, I’m very glad to have this music in my listening library. It’s great for inspiration while I plan and prepare as a GM. (Read more at DriveThruRPG.) ★★★★

DriveThruRPG reviews for January 2013
By Icosahedrophilia
Happy new year, adventure fans! It’s been a long, long time—on the order of four months or so—since I last posted any updates about my DriveThruRPG/RPGNow reviewing. I apologize for that … but part of the story here is that I haven’t accepted very many review copies during that time. I still have a small backlog of ten or so older items before I get everything cleared from my “to review” list. Most of those are older ICONS modules from Adamant Entertainment. Once I get all of those reviewed, I’ll feel better about accepting new review copies.

Ghosts and goblins join Dungeon Command
By Icosahedrophilia
Back in October and November, Wizards of the Coast released two new faction packs for Dungeon Command: Tyranny of Goblins and Curse of Undeath. My son and I got our first opportunity to play with these sets recently, and we had a great time. Like the earlier faction packs, Tyranny of Goblins and Curse of Undeath each give you everything that one player needs to play Dungeon Command. (You can play a stripped-down version with just one pack, but it’s a much better game with two full packs.) Each faction pack includes two large interlocking tiles, two small interlocking tiles, two leader cards, a 36 order cards, twelve prepainted and color-coordinated miniatures, and creature cards for both the Dungeon Command game and for the Adventure System games.
