Ring Side Report-RPG Review of Colonel Bull’s Body
Product– Colonel Bull’s Body
System- Any system but fits well with Savage Worlds/Deadlands
Producer– Dragonlaird Gaming
Price– $7.99 here https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/376305/Colonel-Bulls-Body?affiliate_id=658618
TL; DR-A great intro to Deadlands. 98%
Basics– THE DEAD WALK! A friend of yours has died, but now some see horrors off in the distance. You don’t care either way as getting his body back for burial nets you a massive pay day. Can you find his body and get your money?
Mechanics or Crunch– Solid work here for a fantasy cowboy game and fits well into a Deadlands game. There is investigation, combat, and roleplaying in equal measure here so all three pillars of a good session are on display. This is just good, well done crunch. 5/5
Theme or Fluff– More solid work here by Dragonlaird for their story. My one, very slightly negative point is that it’s similar to a predictable Deadlands plot. There is always some evil sorcerer guy off-screen doing a bad. That’s why this feels like Deadlands, but it could be a bit too predictable for your hardcore Deadlands fan as not much comes out of left field. 4.75/5
Execution– Dragonlaird excels again with their making of a nearly flawless book. Hyperlinks, layout, text size, scannability, art-everything is just on point. My one issue is cost. It’s 8 bucks. Not horrible, but it’s that much for about one solid or two shorter four hour sessions. But, you are getting what you pay for with this one. 4.9/5
Summary– I’ve always wanted to get deeper into the old west and while not a Deadlands product, it would lead you deeper into it. It’s an interesting world, and it takes advantage of the Savage Worlds rule set. Colonel Bull’s Body is an excellent intro adventure for both. It’s got classic cowboy fantasy themes and solid mechanics. Your older Deadlands fans might not get as much out of it, but for those looking for a good intro to the fantasy cowboy world or a solid session, this would be a great one to pull out for game night. The price is a bit high, but you are getting what you pay for with this product in terms of art, design, and layout. Another great product by Dragonlaird. 98%
Daily Punch 4-20-22 BOUNCE CONTROL (COMBAT) feat for Starfinder
Not sure why I’ve been obsessed with throwing explosives in games lately, but here is the last one for a bit.
BOUNCE CONTROL(COMBAT)
You might not be on target but it goes where you want.
Prerequisites: base attack bonus +3.
Benefit: When you make an attack with a grenade or thrown weapon and miss, you roll both which way object bounces and how may squares it bounces twice and you take whichever result you want.

Daily Punch 4-19-22 Lobber for Pathfinder 2nd Ed
Cool guys never look at explosions!
Lobber Feat 6
alchemist
Why be where your enemies can get you! DUCK! When you attack an enemy with an alchemical bomb and are around a corner or behind concealment and can not see the enemy nor the enemy see you, you roll the flat check for the enemy being hidden or concealed twice to hit the enemy with your attack, taking the better result.
Daily Punch 4-18-22 Lobber feat for DnD 5e
Just throw something!
Lobber
You’re good at throwing over ridges and corners! When you attack a concealed creature you are aware of with a thrown weapon, you do not take disadvantage on the attack roll.
