I love this book, I have read it several times.  I'm haven't read any of the others in this series yet, because there out of print and I haven't found any of them yet.  This book is a perect blend of sci-fi and fantacy.

This is a great module.  Not only does it give you a premade dungeon for levels 1-12, but provides a pretty interesting region with adventure hooks to take beyond what is in the book for a larger experience.

From ghost eating flesh, to a wonderfully crafted post-apocalyptic underworld, I could not put this page turning book down.  Not surprising since the author Matthew Lowes is the creator of the Dungeon Solitaire: Labyrinth of Souls tarot card game.  This is the third book released in the Labyrinth of Souls book series.  Can't wait for the next one.

Very well written, nicely paced neither too fast or too slow. The first novel turns out to be my least favorite even though it is a good one. The characters are not as strong as the ones coming in the volumes 2, 3 & 4. It was a bit annoying to find out that volume 4 is set in the past when all I wanted was to know more about Lirael. It turned out to be an excellent telling about Chlorr of the Mask, extremely well written! I highly recommend these 4 volumes and can't wait to read the next one :-)

While there are similarities between the slime dungeon series and this one they are few and far between. This is an excellent book worth the time to read, which I burned though in a couple days. I highly recommend it.

WARNING!!! IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE FIRST VOLUME OF PURE DARK, TURN AROUND AND ORDER PURE DARK VOL.1 NOW!!! THIS WILL SPOIL THE FUN AND THE STORY IT HOLDS WITHIN ITSELF!!! NOW AGAIN, I WARN YOU THIS BOOK WILL LEAVE YOUR BRAIN WITH A SLIGHT HEMORRHAGE FROM THE TALES AND HORROR IT LAYS WITHIN! THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH OR THE WEAK!
In Pure Dark Vol. 1, we experienced the terror of the mind behind the one they call Andrew Mackay- a true original in every way- that brings you to the unfolding nightmares that are chained and secured behind this sickening flesh of a book.  Bound by the chains that are torn apart by the key that was handed to me to unlock the evilness of the world of Pure Dark itself- with many warnings, as if inside of overly marketed haunted house while you wait in line.  You slowly come up by these signs reading WARNING: TURN BACK NOW, but the stubbornness kicks in and you keep marching forward.  With your friends grabbing you by your shoulders screaming into your eyes, Please don't do it as they come out petrified and scarred for life, with little remnants of whats left of their souls; they have pleaded with you not to go but all you did was blank out and see their mouths move up and down, as you laugh while saying I want my t-shirt when I survive it and move forward.  Do you dare to walk in the mind of Pure Dark Vol. 1 and 2?  Will you survive the madness inside and collect your t-shirt so you can let the world know that it is truly unique and you will never forget the experience it has placed before your eyes?  Go find out now and meet the dark itself.  You will regret you ever did.

Welcome, to the Pure Dark! This will never run out of steam in my eyes.  Through time we go and find the darkest things that make us squirm into a corner and cry, or find the darkest, most deranged thing to do to make us vomit; other times we find the most pleasures to satisfy us.  Deepening the thick darkness that surrounds you as you are elevated through the pages of Pure Dark Vol. 2, it leaves us clambering yet again.  Like with the first one, we are bound into the flesh of the book no matter how dark it may get- then we get a bit of a nightmarish scream that holds you within to the boundaries I thought he would never go.  Pleasingly, I am excited to say Well done Andrew Mackay, you have done it again.  He brought my stomach and tied it with my intestines together and tried to grab them outwards, sewing them outside of my body that holds everything complete.  Not too sure if I can ever go back to my normal self after reading both of these volumes of Pure Dark, but I assure you it is a slippery, wet sloping slide throughout that will make you cringe and desire more from the mastermind of Pure Dark Vol. 2.  So, my question to you is are you ready to enter the Pure Dark again and experience the unimaginable while coming out on the other side as you never were before?  You have been warned, but I am pleased to welcome you to journey through the darkness if you dare.

Andrew Mackay is a master at crafting the worst nightmares we fear most, laughing and watching us as we grab the trash can too late while projecting our insides out, vomiting into our path watching it as it drips on our self.  I am sure he gets a kick out of this.  Mackay is dark and twisted, I promise you when you experience him in his words.  You will even say as I do, he is a legend within the deepest parts of our minds, as he clings to your nerves and watches you hide.  Mackay is a force to be reckoned with, going and touching the deepest parts of our flesh as it tingles, burns, and finally melts away.  Again, I have to say thank you Andrew Mackay for bringing me into the Pure Dark once again.  I will be coming back soon where I will be waiting patiently for my Baby Champagne and for the main dinner course.

As previously mentioned his book is not as good as the first one. It is also more centered on the adventurers the. The dungeon. However being different doesn't make it bad. I mean I enjoyed this book, though admittedly it wasn't till about halfway through that it got as exciting as the last one but major battles ensue in this novel. My recommendation for anyone who has the same taste in books as me, those who love LitRPG and fantasy novels. Give this book a chance before reading all the super critical reviews. I read them first and they colored my views of the book, however since It was pretty cheap I gave it a shot. I enjoyed it once I stopped considering the critiques laid out in the reviews and decided for myself. Pretty vague spoilers ahead. Yes there is beastmen who aren't very eloquent however I found myself really enjoying them. Yes many of the adventures were in a funk at the beginning of the book but I mean after the ending of the last book would you expect friends to be anything less?  Again give it a shot you likely won't regret it.

This adventure is not recommended for players who like only hack and slash. SOB is lighter version of Power behind the throne. Player characters are drawn to Bgenhafen by a mistake. There they are faced by a great  threat of Chaos.  One of the very high persons in Bgenhafen is corrupted  and players are to find out who it is. Guilty one is found out quite  easily, but problem is: How to find evidence hard enought to collapse  him/her? Can players stop the catastrophe?  This adventure is the first of  The enemy within campaign. So player characters should not be too powerful.  Very fascinating and interesting book. I recommend.

I really like the revelations pathway. I had to enter the code in the Dragon's gate if anyone needs to know.

OK, some insights.  First, I've played this game before, including the first one and later on the newest version call just Dungeon.  I loved pretty much all of them, though I'm writing this because this version is the best one.  I've enjoyed it so much I bought another copy.  I'd say that says it all.

I am currently on the second book of the Chaos Seed series and I can not put these books down. As someone who loved fantasy and MMO's, it is a wonderful read.

A Method to the Madness: A Guide to the Super Evil ;  I am a friend of one of the authors and just had to use my friend ship to get myself an autographed copy.  This man is super creative and down to earth.  I look forward to gaming with him and the future works this helps produce

This is a 5th edition update to the Temple of Elemental Evil and like many of the other things for this edition they have done a good job. There is a cult trying to summon the Princes of Elemental Evil and bring about the end of the world, perfect if you like your hero's to feel that they are saving the world, and why shouldn't they.

This is good for starting characters through 15th level and has dungeons and items and spells a new for setting them against some Cultists and their ilk. For those looking for another race they have added back the Genasi in the new 5th edition way, this time making each element a subset of the main race which is healthier bunch than most.

I haven't seen all the books yet, this was my first full read though and there is translations for other existing realms of play if that is how you run your campaign, including Dark Sun, Eberon and Dragonlance. Nice touch in my opinion.

A new geonra of LitRPF is born in this masterwork and about time. The protagonist is a dungeon mob that becomes self aware and sets out to make it way in the world. And the world will never be the same because of it.  When a newborn barely sentient dungeon mob changes the world the potentials are unlimited.

We once again follow the adventures of Jason Dark and Siu Lin.  This time, we watch as demonic forces take over Heaven in an attempt to destroy creation and creator.  How do Jason and Siu Lin factor into this fight, and what will happen to mankind?

In some ways I think this has been my favorite Jason Dark novella so far, and that is saying a lot, because I am pretty enamored with the whole series.  We continue to watch Jason and Siu Lin's characters and relationship develop, and see more to them then just warriors.  I think this story contains so much beauty in its themes of good versus evil and the necessary balance provided by the existence of both forces.

Clearly, there are nods to the great works of Dante and Milton in the concept of this book.  I love that Henkel tackles a topic that, in the scope of horror writing, is not addressed as clearly as other types of evil monsters.  Sure we read books about demons, but rarely do we read stories about demons and angels fighting written in so bold a manner.  This story causes the reader to take pause, and ponder the forces greater than ourselves.  These are very traditional horror themes at play here, written in a style that is at once both classic and modern.  I especially loved the fact that the glory was not just belonging to Dark in this one, in fact, the character seemed to be humbled by the role he played in the battle.  I also liked the fact that this volume tied in so well with volume I, yet would have been perfectly understandable without ever having read volume I.

With each volume of this series, I am equal parts impressed with Henkel's abilities and saddened that I will soon run out of volumes to read.

Ted Dekker's graphic novel "Infidel" reminded me how much I enjoy reading a comic book format.  The artwork is terrific and the story is engaging even thought I haven't read book one.  I had a hard time putting this down.  I have long been a fan of Ted Dekker's horror novels.  Now, he has gained me as a fantasy fan.
