Black Book Review from Skinner Games!
Skinner Games (YouTube channel here if you want to check out more) did a short-but-positive review of Dungeons & Delvers: Black Book a few days ago:
My only criticism is the 4th Edition bit): while Black Book technically started out as a 4th Edition hack, the end result retains almost nothing of the 4E DNA. But rather than go into it again, I actually did a post awhile back that addresses all of this. So, if 4th Edition is a barrier for checking out and playing a game, read that post first and then see what you think.
Just to be clear we still appreciate the review, and do not blame Niklas at all for mentioning it: there's a bunch of play reports and design posts from when we still called it FrankenFourth, after all.
You can now get a physical copy of Dungeons & Delvers: Black Book in whatever format you want! We've also released the first big supplement for it, Appendix D, so pick that up if you want more of everything.
If you want more adventures, we just released Escape From the Flesh Catacombs: a bunch of 0-level characters need to escape from the catacomb-lair of a gorgon that was slain, causing everything she's petrified to revert to flesh and rise as undead.
Our latest Dungeon World class, The Ranger, is now available.
Dwarven Vault is our sixth 10+ Treasures volume. If you're interested in thirty dwarven magic items (including an eye that lets you shoot lasers) and nearly a dozen new bits of dungeon gear, check it out!
By fan demand, we've mashed all of our 10+ Treasure volumes into one big magic item book, making it cheaper and more convenient to buy in print (which you can now do).
