Another entry that fills out the wonderful world of Everglow and provides us with some more wonderful art. A few new toys to play with are included, as well.

As usual, a great companion on your adventures through Everglow. Seamlessly integrates with the other hero-lab files provided for Ponyfinder and works a treat.

Nice layout and art but to be honest, I dont like character sheet that are 6 to 3 page long... 2 to 1 is more my jam. 4 at most. Good if you need the space but not really a must have. It will also most likely use up alot of ink when you print it in color.

And here we see the source book that every aspiring pony necromancer needs. Whether you are an oracle of bones, a clerical undead creator or even a mystical shaman, there is something in here for you.

Caveat: I was the editor on this, however I had no part in the actual creation of the content.

A standard and well laid out character sheet, it has all the needed spots to fill things out with the wonderful Ponyfinder-style background art. Easily filled out, it lays out all data in a neat and easy-to-find way.

I honestly feel a dollar is too much for this character sheet. There's no information on how to fill it in and there's a lot of data to plugin and keep track of.

Full disclosure, though this game I've become friends with the good folks at Silver Games. With that out of the way, let's talk about the book itself, and I'll be talking primarily about the first run print copy that I have. The setting is quite unique, with a bevy of four-legged, quite refreshing after 15 years of the same Tolkien inspired worlds. For as different as Everglow is though, it is also a familiar place in many ways, it is a world of danger and ancient secrets, terrible deeds and glorious heroes. There is a focus on elemental forces, as the planes are "closer to the material plane" of the world, influencing the various racial subtypes and gives rise to races such as the phoenix wolves. The ponies of Everglow also has a nice selection of gods, all culturally acceptable in the pony empire, ranging from the warm and compassionate Sun Queen to The Unspoken lord of chaos, and the distant Author, of whom little is known. The new spells, feats, and items are interesting and cool, but not unbalancing. If there is one problem I've had with the book, it's a small number of typos, usually a sentence fragment being repeated, but the content itself is spot on in my view.

To sum up, Ponyfinder's Everglow campaign setting is a rich world of magic and mystery, if you're looking for something a little different to spark your wonder once more, buy this book.

Not for the Pathfinder novice. I'm writing from the point of view of someone with a lot of interest in Pathfinder and other RPGs, but little experience. I've done a lot reading, but little playing from lack of company. I hoped Ponyfinder would catch my daughter's interest.

The book itself is very attractive and imaginative. My daughter, who reads the Pathfinder Bestiary books cover to cover, gives it a thumbs up. I'm sure that if you understand Pathfinder and see how things relate, it's great work.

Unfortunately, we weren't even able to get through character creation. I've got the Beginner book, Core Rulebook, and this book spread out on the table, the Beginner character sheet and the Ponyfinder character sheets, and I can't figure out what goes where, or how and where to look up the information I need. In short, I need a Pathfinder tutor to walk me through.

As a girl who was discouraged from the gaming table, I love the idea of RPGs that would encourage today's girls from joining in. Some dads have left reviews about playing with their daughters. I think that's great. Unless you have that guide, however, I don't think this is it. I'm sure there are licensing complications, and also that a more step-by-step introduction to Pathfinder wasn't intended to be within the scope of this book. So while my review may come across as critical, it's really just to share my experience with others at my level of experience.

A very inexpensive supplement. The art that is brought forward is simply gorgeous, and the rules are right to the point. This is full of helpful details for those interested in playing a game with a heavier emphasis on the divine.

This isn't a very large expansion, but the work and art was funded by some brilliant people over on Patreon, which is itself pretty awesome.

You know how many Pseudo-Europe there are for Pathfinder? About 12,000 by my last count, three of four of which actually rock. It's great to see a company doing something different, which Silver Games does very adroitly with Ponyfinder. I love cartoon and comics based settings rather than endless iterations of Tolkien-esque fantasy, and Ponyfinder is nicely imaginative, has great art, which obviously attracted and involved a lot of talented fan-artists, and might help get young girls more interested in D20 based gaming. Awesome on all fronts, and thanks for doing something different, mechanically sound, and just off kilter enough to be truly fun. CHRIS

A great way to get a taste of Ponyfinder before deciding to get the main book or not. Or as a companion piece to the upcoming Griffons of Everglow book given how close they are in the lore.

Speaking of the lore, David Silver's writhing is as always a great mix of light hearted fun and a deep fascinating history and lore that takes itself seriously with being too serious.

For all ages too, if you are okay with the words "teat" and "damn" being used at one point each in good context. What? Some people can be stingy with such things.

Like me and spacing issues, so could you please try to keep everything on its assigned page. Or atlest not split it mid paragraf. Makes it easier to read, especially if one is going to print it out and bring it places. Oh, and a minor nitpick is that on page 7 the word Flutterpony is not... Whats it called... Fat. A bigger nitpick is that the name suggestions are a bit to close to MLP:FiM from my comfort.

Unfortunately I cannot say anything the mechanics because I have yet to play it with anyone. Will come back after I found some DM's to discuss it with.

I am used to getting more than I bargained for with Silver Games' products and this was no exception. Particularly impressive was the full color map by Sita Duncan.

This is an excellent introductory adventure, be it for players new to Ponyfinder or Pathfinder rules in general. The encounters are balanced well, and ample description is given as to how to grow or shrink them based on party size, quite helpful!

Best of all, the adventure (trying to be spoiler free) is in part a test of ethics in spots, and the story can cleverly branch in ways based on player actions. Very little extra work for the GM for a lot of extra enjoyment. There is even a scoring system like the old-school tournament modules of my youth so players can see what they did right or wrong, or missed.

This product is a great combination of a good scenario, a fun test of ethics under pressure, and a final evaluation that comes off as interesting and not a punishment. It's a hoot to see how people will react!

The combats are interesting without being the entire focus of the work - that's not an easy task to pull off either.

And while there is plenty of Ponyfinder Lore built into it, this could also be easily converted to a Golarion scenario, with the wonderful plot, tests, and scoring system in place. This is a great product!

A thousand time better than the original book that came out. This time you hit the mark perfectly with the layout and art which was sorely missing from the first book. I am glad that much of the material was expanded on, additional race other than ponies have been given, as well as info making this a full blown campaign setting.

With things going in the write direction I am hoping to see some additional material for Ponyfinder, expanding upon spells and the other races mentioned. Great Job and well worth the money this time around!

review of Tower of Misery Ponyfinder scenario, written by William Kreber, Edited by Brandon West Silver Games LLC

Matthew Paluch

August 19th 2014

Introductory scenarios have specific challenges to overcome, yet not dawdle upon - Tower of Misery handles that hurdle with some grace.

The starting hook can be introduced at just about any point in many current or starting campaigns, so this is a flexible adventure that can be used by GMs not only to start a new campaign, but as a side quest somewhere in the early stages - it does not feel forced or contrived.

The flavor text is overall very well done, and I especially appreciated the immediate description of the local town and area before bombarding the reader with other matters. The material I needed first thing to set the scene was the first thing in the scenario - good design.

The treasure caught me a bit by surprise - while the very solid description of the adventures location is excellent, and has some standard encounters and treasure, there are also a few cases where clever partys might get some rarer and more valuable items I would not expect to see in an introductory adventure, but all of them require players to have either an odd skill, or beat a very high DC after taking "smart"actions. It will reward those who are not on autopilot, but the treasure balance is just fine assuming PCs do not find either of the two difficult secret rewards. I like this idea, so long as GMs don't sympathetically give it to the party without making them do the work. In fact it would be an excellent teaching tool for new players (who again, will get a fair share of loot just from doing "the basics") if the GM revealed after the adventure how they could have additional loot if they had been a bit more savvy (or spent some skill points on more diverse areas). This is a big plus for me.

My overall impression is one of simple elegance but with some teasers added for smart players, or to teach new players how to think smarter - I liked it a great deal. The combats were a little tougher than I expected, but not too bad, so I think it would work well for a larger group as well, unlike many introductory scenarios. But as one of the few scenarios I have seen for beginning characters where a well-timed Knowledge or Profession role can be used to avoid a combat or gain extra treasure, this scenario's design is definitely thinking along lines upon which I heartily agree!

Free you inner Pony.

When I first heard of the Ponyfinder Campaign Setting I thought it would be amusing to get to know since I have 3 daughters and hence a lot of, yeah - you guessed correct - plastic ponies strewn around in my house. I thought it might be a good introduction to roleplaying and thus was lucky to get a copy for review.

It actualy delivers all the pony magic and atmosphere I could've dreamed of, and more! It's not just a funny sidetrecking using Pathfinder rules, but actualy a well thought, and very complete campaign setting. Although I haven't played it yet, I'm not only looking forward to convince my daughters to play, but also my regular tt rpg group of fathers aged 38-49 perhaps as an exiting interlude from our regular RotR PF campaigning...

The top number of horseshoes to this volume is in particular because:

• It's very detailed and complete, both as a rule compendium, as a storyline and universe feel, and even the art is well placed and diverse throughout the book

• It has that special pony feeling you would expect from a campaign setting with that name!!

• I kind'a envy that I didn't think of such a setting myself, it's obviously a good idea.

• The rules seem balanced yet open in a way that allows players to create their own amazing ponies inspired from the many templates and examples.

• The naming scheme is consistent throughout the world creation, from the inner-covers beatiful map to NPC names.

The bad: really nothing, or perhaps this single small/minor detail that I didn't like in particular: Ponies riding horses. I could've done without that and left it to the imagination of gamemasters and players on how to interpret such a situation. I dunno exactly why this tricks me, and it's nothing compared to the overall feel, so ....

I'm happy to ride along the Ponyfinder wave, 5 horseshoes from me! Looking forward to see more Pony accessories
