One of the hardest parts of game mastering is coming up with interesting adventure locations for our characters to explore. These locations need to be fantastic, detailed places that capture the minds of our players every session we run. Sly Flourish's Fantastic Locations is an audiobook of 20 system-agnostic locations you can drop into your favorite fantasy role-playing game. Each location builds on a fantastic theme, such as a mysterious ancient structure under the ice, a cursed castle of a mad king, or a fallen celestial fortress.

In How to Defend Your Lair, gamemaster Keith Ammann pulls back the curtain on an underrated but crucial part of any tabletop roleplaying game: the theater of battle. Say goodbye to encounters in randomly generated dungeons and hello to a game in which where the fight takes place is just as important as who is doing the fighting.

Lifelong friends, they went their separate ways. Now they are together again, though each holds secrets from the others in his heart. They speak of a world shadowed with rumors of war. They speak of tales of strange monsters, creatures of myth, creatures of legend. They do not speak of their secrets. Not then. Not until a chance encounter with a beautiful, sorrowful woman, who bears a magical crystal staff, draws the companions deeper into the shadows, forever changing their lives and shaping the fate of the world.

Mankind has lorded over the land of Illian for a thousand years, building on the ruins left by the elves, as if it were their birthright. A thousand years is a long time for an immortal race to see the truth of things, a truth that has remained unsaid for a millennium - elves are superior. They are faster, stronger, and connected to the magical realm in a way that man could never grasp. Illian should belong to them.

Story
Some of the parchment pages were the color of cream, thick and substantial, made to last many, many lifetimes. Other pages were thin and desiccated, positively yellow from age, and crackled alarmingly as Van Richten turned them over. There were no ornate illuminations, no fussy borders, only lines of plain text in hard black ink. The flowing handwriting was a bit difficult to follow at first; the writer's style of calligraphy had not been in common use for 300 years. No table of contents, but from the dates it looked to be some kind of history.

The stories in The Dying Earth introduce dozens of seekers of wisom and beauty, lovely lost women, wizards of every shade of eccentricity with their runic amulets and spells. We meet the melancholy deodands, who feed on human flesh and the twk-men, who ride dragonflies and trade information for salt. There are monsters and demons. Each being is morally ambiguous: The evil are charming, the good are dangerous. All are at home.

In ancient days, sorcerers sought to learn the One True Spell that would give them power over all the world and understanding of all magic.... The One True Spell was a woman, and her name was Mystra - and her kisses were wonderful. It is the time before Myth Drannor, when the Heartlands are home to barbarians, and wicked dragons rule the skies. In these ancient days, Elminster is but a shepherd boy, dreaming of adventure and heroics. When a dragon-riding magelord sweeps down upon him, though, the boy is thrust into a world of harsh realities, corrupt rulers, and evil sorcerers.

A game is only a game if you can quit. This is something I learned the hard way. I just wanted to let off some steam in virtual reality and ended up getting murdered and imprisoned in the body of one of the undead - slow, clumsy, and cursed to die at the hand of other players over and over again. The only way out of this awful predicament was to find the legendary Scroll of Rebirth, but the helpless plague-ridden corpse would need to be turned into a real killing machine. If only people knew what it was like to level up a dead rogue....

Instead, he and Hrym live a high life as scoundrels, pulling cons and parting the weak from their gold. When a mysterious woman invites them along on a quest into the frozen north in pursuit of a legendary artifact, it seems like a prime opportunity to make some easy coin - especially if there's a chance for a double-cross.

The material is fantastic and well executed but...
The material is fantastic and well executed, and I have already worked some of these adventures into my home game. However, I did think that there would be an accompanying PDF, and there is not. I had briefly purchased the grendleroot adventure, and that one did include a PDF for that one of the art assets. As an aside, I returned it because it was not the full PDF or even a summary transcript. Without any PDF to reference, it is very difficult to index the information for any adventure that you might be running. Fortunately for me, I received a hard copy of this for Christmas, and I was only purchasing this so that I could better absorb the information. As an adult with ADHD, listening to written information makes it much easier to get a deep understanding of the subject material. For me, this was an accessibility purchase.
It is hard to recommend this format because it does not include a reference document, and the chapters are not descriptively labelled in the app.
This is a fantastic resource for low level campaigns and adventures, and I was able to work a lot of interesting things into my home campaign. I would even say that you could just rob some of the ideas and NPCs to spice up an adventure that you are already running. 5/5 for the material itself, lower for the format. Props for writing adventure material that can work for everyone.

The Future of Adventure Formats!!
I have been a HUGE FAN of Sly Flourish and the Lazy Dungeon Master for many years, and his practical, elegant approach to game prep has allowed me to continue to pursue my roleplaying game hobby long after I thought I wouldn't have time anymore.
I work a full-time office job, have two small boys, a loving spouse (whom I would like to keep that way), and I also am going to college full time to finish my degree. That doesn't leave me a lot of time to DM a campaign of Dungeons & Dragons and I really thought I would have to leave it behind.
Thanks to the Way of the Lazy Dungeon Master, I've learned and adapted to streamlining my prep from days to an hour or so, thanks to preparing my game the same way as presented in Sly Flourish's Fantastic Adventures, I have time for all my obligations and still have time to play D&D once a week with my friends.
The adventures presented in this book are perfect for a short, episodic game, as they are very easy to skim and run after only a short time. They are centered around the small town of Whitesparrow, though they'd fit into any campaign setting, whether that's as a short side trek in your ongoing game, or a strung into a whole campaign of their own (I'd recommend picking up Sly Flourish's Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master for a bonus adventure set in Whitesparrow and a spiral campaign that ties it all together).
Rudy Basso does a great job, since I have to admit I was skeptical of an adventure book in an audio format, but it really works - especially for folks with a long commute like myself. I have a great memory for audio, and not so good for reading and retaining so this is wonderful.
I eagerly await every Sly Flourish release, and if you are looking for a way to perfect your game prep and distill it down to only those activities that most benefit your game, the adventures here will be a breath of fresh air. They bring to mind classic small adventures like Cult of the Reptile God, but they are presented in such an easy to understand and process form that they will have you pining for every other adventure book on your shelf to be presented the same way. I know I do!!

An even LAZIER way to prep!
I will definitely be using this bad boy to multitask and prep for upcoming D&D games. Laundry, workouts, commutes, and more are now also game prep time! The recording is clean and professional, the adventures are easy-to-run with great stories and twists, and this whole thing is great fun to listen to. Thanks, Rudy and Mike!

a great 2nd of Sly Flourish's fantastic X series
I think this one might be slightly more practically useful then Sly flourish's fantastic locations, although I do wish that it came with scaled maps. one tiny complaint about an otherwise great performance, Rudy cannot pronounce scintillate. though it comes up less in this than in the last book. but everytime he says it it throws me out of the narration.
otherwise it's a great performance of a very useful book that has solid tie-ins to the previous book, both of which are super useful for a busy dungeon master. I have snipped bits and pieces from both for my ongoing campaign
