The Dragons of Britain #1
Publisher: Stygian Fox

The Dragons of Britain #1 is a stellar first issue. When first opening the magazine you get the feeling of pulling the sword from the stone as you are amazed by the content, illustrations, layout and overall professionalism of the issue. It must be said that its creator is really well known for his work on Call of Cthulhu and I would have been surprised if this didn't come out perfect. If there is only one negative point with this release, it is the size of the PDF. It is pretty hard to digest for my computer (Quad-core, 8 GB of RAM nonetheless) and makes it a bit of a pain to leaf through. I'm not sure I'm gonna try it on my Nexus 7.

That said, a big hurrah to Steff Worthington and long live The Dragons of Britain!

Hi Dominik, Thanks for the great review! I have taken your comments on board and I\\\'m looking into better ways to reduce the file size. Once I resolve the size speedbump I\\\'ll reupload and update this issue and further issues. Thanks again for helping Stygian Fox out with this! Steff

I greatly appreciated this module for Swords & Wizardry. At the beginning it might give the players the impression that it will be linear since the characters basically have to accept "a mission" but actually it is closer to a location based adventure since it drops the adventurers somewhere in the Arctic with multiple possible destinations. The module is also a good informative document for Referee who would want details about polar expeditions, their risks, the equipment needed and the day to day operations of such trips. Also, beginning Referees might like the fact that there are some small read-aloud text box for each of the map's points of interest. I know this is not necessarily liked by everyone but they can be easily hand waived and replaced with the Ref's description of the scene in his mind's eye. Though I am not a big fan of Paul Jaquays' cover art (with what looks to me like a Roman soldier standing in shorts on the ice banks), the interior art and mapping (by James Keegan and Robert Altbauer respectively) is excellent and fit the mood of the adventure.
