In the Company of Tengu

Quid Novi–Perilous Penguin Edition
The pdf kicks off with an introduction to this pdf version of the great Quid Novi-newsletter (which I’ve been receiving for the better part of a year by now) and then goes on to the gaming material. Each section is prefaced by a cool, aptly-written short IC-text.

This pdf from Clockwork Gnome Publishing is 22 pages long, 1 page front cover, 1 page back cover, 1 page editorial, 1 page SRD, leaving 18 pages of content – for the low price a nice deal!
The Ebon Vault–Secrets of the Staff
Due to staves containing several spells and these ones also having additional qualities, I’m breaking my usual format for this review and review the staves according to groups they belong to. The staves herein range in price from a modest 2090 Gp to 265000 Gp.
21 Plots
This supplement from Gypsy Knight Games, provides you with 21 plot hooks, each of which is fleshed out in six different ways, giving you a grand total of 126 simple plot threads.
Pathways II
The issue kicks off with a very interesting editorial rant by Ben McFarland on the lack of truly legendary, big and ambitious products with a long gestation period, essentially making a case for grander designs and less fast designing. Interesting points, I think, as the pace of some releases has been neck-breaking. (1 page)
