Solid haul. I backed the Merry Mushmen adventures as well, and there is a recent Knock #4 now available (Blorb Principles, Every Treasure Tells a Story, and Weather Dice are standouts for me, among many excellent articles).
The reason for the physical layout of the module, is that it's a throwback to the old TSR style D&D, AD&D 1st edition etc game modules. The outside section was made removable so you as the DM could more easily use the book with the map(s). It makes it a more usable tool in other words. I've appreciate that Merry Mushmen did this I might add and it's why I've backed these Kickstarter's they do wonderful work. As far as wear and tear go, they should hold up just fine like the TSR modules did. Sometimes you had to replace stables or even apply some tape artifully but over all the modules age much better than some of my other ttrpg publications of the day. (Side eying Palladium Games and Steve Jackson Games in particular) Also, I wouldn't show that hex map to the players on the outer sleeve of the module to the players. Let them explore and find places, use a blank hex map in my opinion. These are hex exploring set up modules after all. Oh and isn't the Moria stuff just awesome? I love looking it over. The art and layout are just that good. I don't worry about durability, the Forbidden Lands books have held up very well so far for me. I'm pretty much all in on anything Free League does and own most of it. Great material. Oh and the Valley of Flowers, I might have to get that, definitely pretty cool looking.
A lot of cool stuff - I backed the Merry Mushmen books can't wait to run them. That Anime game looked interesting as did valley of flowers Suggestion you put a list of the names of the games in the description, it would help empty my account. thanks for the video
Hi, suggestion for your channel, do you think you should include the name of the products your review so they can be found with a search? Like if someone wants to see a merry mushmen reviews.
I still don't have the PDF from Merry Mushmen for Horrendous Hounds of Heldensburgh, despite sending several messages over the past few weeks. I have the physical copy but no pdf and in that time, about a month I think, I have had 1 reply a couple of weeks ago and nothing since. Great module, terrible customer service sadly.

Thanks for this vid, interesting new to me stuff.
I did the Merry Mushmen kickstarter as well and got all 3 modules in print. Great choice.
They're all great adventures! Top-tier for sure.
Eric Bloat/Bloat Games currently have a Kickstarter going on for Overworld now.
Is that some Age of Empires music I hear?
Thanks for the video, RedMage!
Good ear! :)

Really appreciate these videos as I'm always missing stuff. My credit cards hates you but I don't! 🙃

I usually do - I just completely forgot to do it for this one! I'll edit the description and add them in.
Oh nice…I want to find a copy of Break, but not sure if it can beat out Fabula Ultimata for jrpg vibe.
I've never played Fabula Ultimata, but I'll have to check it out!

That's too bad! :/ I haven't had any experience with them outside of the kickstarter. Hopefully it'll be resolved soon!
you need to add links to where you can buy this stuff
I'll add those in - it totally slipped my mind, even though I usually do! Thanks for the reminder!
hm would love to order but coming from Europe it is a bit out of my price rage, even the pdf is 23$ canadian.. ah well
Ouch - yeah, that's a bit much!
