A timely suppliment which delivers a lot of what WFRP 4th ed needs; the templates to modify base creatures from core rulebook into different specailisms encourage a new GM to expand their range, and save old hands a lot of administration time. And those are generic change templates that could apply to any warband creature type - beastmen, orcs, etc.

There is a introduction and map to a regional situation around the Drakwald to bring in the spider riding forest goblins, that could be easily retooled to any desired forest in the Empire. Its great that the bad guys get a non-lethal option finally giving Warhammer players the option of capture and escape experience. The four NPCs and tactical plans make it easy to avoid that "just another gobin random encounter" feel. And finally printing out the rules for individual creature traits and talents in long form rather than a list to save GM´s desperately thumbing back for reference or improvising in mid-combat; which is tough enough in systems with seperate rule and creature books.

Not perfect of course but criticisms are minor - the goblin NPC art whislt good gives an impression of padding space but that is only a couple of pages; having all the trait details on a reference sheet at the back rather than with the actual stat blocks makes the innovation good rather than great. Biggest gripe is very little information on the spiders that are supposedly central to forest goblins specific culture - and none I could see for the little dangerous variety trailed in the opening favour text.

All in all an encouraging start to a new product line. Well done Cubicle 7.
