Product– Dungeon Crawl Classics #107: Forgotten Dangers
System- Dungeon Crawl Classics
Producer– Goodreads
Price– $10.99 here https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/506125/dungeon-crawl-classics-107-forgotten-dangers?affiliate_id=658618
TL; DR– Good intro DCC RPG One-shots. 97%
Basics– Let’s jump in! Forgotten dangers is a group of six random DCC adventures. They are not really connected to each other, but they are small, bite sized fun that you can drop into any DCC game.
Mechanics or Crunch– These adventures are set up well enough to be the right mix of deadly and fun. The crunch here works. There are crazy powerful items to play with as well as crazy powerful dangers. It’s solid DCC RPG fun. 5/5
Theme or Fluff– The individual adventures are fantastic, but I wish there was a connection between them. The individual adventures are all bat crap crazy, and that’s exactly what you play DCC for. The fault is the individuals are not connected. The adventures are good, but I wish they were a bit connected. 4.5/5
Execution– Solid layout, text, art, and flow make this an easy read. If you need an adventure for a session you did not prepare for, these adventures, while a bit simple, are enough that you have a solid four hours and can just hop right in as a GM. 5/5
Summary– I love DCC RPG. I love random one shots. This product is just those. It’s fun, but I wish this was a campaign or written where it could be. But without flow, this is still just solid fun to run with your friends. 97%

If you do it now, why worry about the cost? Roll Sorcery + Magic (2-Essence) test. For each net hit, the target gains a minor action on their next turn. However, on the turn after the next, they lose that many minor actions. If they do not normally have enough minor actions, major actions are reduced at the normal cost. If they still do not have enough actions, then they continue to lose actions on future turns.

Product– Starfinder Tech Class Playtest
System- Starginder 2nd Ed
Producer– Paizo
Price– FREE here https://paizo.com/community/blog/v5748dyo6zwqx&page=1?Starfinder-Tech-Class-Playtest
TL; DR– Good, but a loss of flavor. 93%
Basics– Why not tech wizards! The tech playtest focuses on the technomancer and the mechanic. The mechanic is the pet class with rogue elements of being skill based and the technomancer is the wizard.
Mechanics or Crunch– The classes work. They both operate well within the realms of the base Pathfinder 2e mechanics. The mechanic is a pet class and it follows the basic pet class idea, and the Technomancer feels like a sorcerer bloodline on a wizard. Those are good pieces making a great whole. 5/5
Theme or Fluff– I like what’s here, but I also feel like we may have lost things in edition change. The mechanic lost the ability to just put a computer in their head and do awesome stuff. What’s here is good, but it’s also a bit less than what it could have been. The technomancer doesn’t feel like its own thing. It’s a wizard with a bloodline. That’s not bad, but I wanted more. I wanted maybe even a whole new school of spells here. It’s still just arcane spells. Again, not bad by any stretch, but I wanted tech spells. These two things don’t feel distinct. 4/5
Execution– It’s Paizo. Solid layout, production, art, and even text makes this something to be studied. Yes, I keep saying the exact same things, but it’s for the exact same reason. For a free product, this is amazingly well done. 5/5
Summary– I like the options, but I want more distinct things in the future. Overall, these will play amazingly well with the rest of the classes out there. I just want new ground to be broken with Starfinder. Right now Starfinder 2nd ed feels more like a setting change and less like it’s own edition. Thats good for some respects, but bad for others. Then again, I’m gonna play the hell out of this system. So I may not be getting exactly what I want, but I am getting Pathfinder in Space, which I want! 93%
