One the show is an excellent blue print of how a Post Apocalyptic campaign can be done well. Two ecology of a campaign can be done with a little quick research and perpetration.<br />The town of Defiance sits on a the old city of Saint Louis. That's one big mega dungeon of post apocalyptic goodness under the guise of a mine. The ruins of the city were introduced under the guise of the mine as plot point in the opening pilot.<br />This week's episode also gives away another plot point. Computers and the internet are gone. The technology level seems a mix of nineteen hundreds and science fantasy.<br /> We get a mix of alien and mutant monsters as well as minor NPC's and major ones in the form of the town.<br />The whole show is a great step by step guide to creating a campaign in any post apocalyptic setting. The most important fact about this town is that each and every character has secrets and plot hooks that relate to the town in some way. </span></b></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Each is a web of hooks, lines, and sinkers that moves the show or in your case campaign forward.<br />The video game tie in only covers a very small area of the show and gives further background into the history of Defiance.<br />Any side adventures in games should do the same.

Those who fall into the lich's clutches often times become part of this vast collection. Flash frozen to absolute molecular perfection by their master's hands and magics.<br />The treasure is guarded as well by two alien seventh level berserk holy warriors each armed with a laser sword of the most dangerous aspect. +2 or better if the rumors about these horrors are to be believed.<br /><br /><u>The Dreaming Warriors Of The Sky Lich<br /><br /> </u><img alt="File:GeschichteDesKriegswesens1878-36.jpg" height="400" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/88/GeschichteDesKriegswesens1878-36.jpg/465px-GeschichteDesKriegswesens1878-36.jpg" width="310" /></span><br /> <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The deadly agents of the sky lich have been seen across the oververse.

These monsters often have minor psychic abilities such as telepathy or other telekinetic gifts. They are fanatically loyal to their uncaring god master. These beings gather intelligence while in the employ of others. They have been seen upon the Atomic post apocalyptic realities of other universes and the employ of minor demonic lords and their vile servant wizards. <br />They're master may at any time possess these monsters and act as one. This aspect as made them suspect employees and mercenaries at best. They are useful, reliable, and fight as 6th level fighters. Some are also specially created berserk holy warriors.<br />They often take mutant or special alien species for experimentation and other vile forms of alteration by their hellish master.<br /><br /> <img alt="GeschichteDesKriegswesens1878-49.jpg" height="320" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/70/GeschichteDesKriegswesens1878-49.jpg/106px-GeschichteDesKriegswesens1878-49.jpg" width="282" /></span><br /> <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /> Contact Dreaming Sky Lich<br />Spell Level : M2<br />Range: 1d8 light years </span><br /> <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Duration: 1 week<br />The caster creates a powerful psychic flare in the un realities of hyperspace for the Dreaming Sky lich's armada to find.

There were a number of companies producing books that had dungeon dressing in them. Dragon Tree Press, Judge's Guild, etc. all of these produced books that were meant as tricks, traps, etc. all for your dungeon to smite your players.  Grimtooth's came later but were still in the same vein. So is this book there is a very important tradition that no one ever seems to talk about with these books.<br />They show the steamy underside of dungeon crawling. That sleazy brothel crawling, pub living, and drug induced world of adventurers that is evident in the writings of Robert Howard but that have been cleaned up over the years. Forget Fatal and the non sense of the various books of whatever.<br />The trap books let this world out of the bag. This is the world of Ralph Bashi's Lord of The Ring's orcs and goblins. <br />This is the world of the random tables and dire paths of the DM. This is the world of this book.This  isn't a book for players its a book for the DM to make "snap random encounters". These are the type of encounter that can make or cripple a party of adventurers.  </b></span></div> <div style="background-color: white; text-align: center;"> <b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The introduction is about fifteen pages and there is another old school reason for that as well. The books of the past offered the Dungeon Master advise and insight into the author's own experience with OD&D or  whatever they were running. This book is no exception.</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: white;">There is a difference between the old school books of the past and this one. The artwork, editing,etc in all one hundred and fifty pages is exceptional. </b></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: white;"><b style="text-align: start;">The spinechillers are are perfect for a haunted touch to adventures.  The horrible food, extreme sports and jailbreaks are solid and show the steamy un PC life of dungeons and their sleazy world of adventurers.  The traps cover 50 pages of pure malice. </b></b></span></div> <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: center;"> <b> The best part about all of this is that its "System less" That's right you can use these in a post apocalyptic setting, a science fantasy world or anywhere including a modern era if you want an old world dungeon touch.  </b></div> <div style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center; text-decoration: underline;"> <br /></div> </span></span><br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: start;"><b><u>Reasons why to use </u></b></span><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><u>Spinechillers and Silent Killers </u></b></div> <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><ol> <li>Seamless system integration and random tables that are actually useful. </li> <li>Dirty DM tricks that come right out of the past that are also very well done. </li> <li>Throwback to the random table from both OD&D and the first edition AD&D Dungeon Master's Guide. Meaning that these tables are well edited and ready to go when you are. </li> <li>Great for pit fighting, extreme sports, or gladiatorial games when a bit of an edge is needed for adventurers. Yet not enough to kill em. </li> <li>There are enough side encounters here to make out of the dungeon and between adventures actually kinda cool and unpredictable. </li> <li>150 pages of old school goodness </li> <li>Seamless integration means that old school ideals can bleed into a wide variety of campaigns. A diabolical DM can get a lot of mileage out of this book. </li> <li>There is a lot of weirdness in this book which will keep players on their toes and interested in your campaign. </li> <li style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;">Money pits and serious complications (rivals in the dungeon) are prefect tools to separate your pigeons errm adventurers from their coin another old school problem now easily solved. Also perfect for creating more foils for adventurers. Keep PC's low on cash. A desperate PC is a story line waiting to happen. This book is a perfect tool kit for that. </span></li> <li style="text-align: center;"><b><ol style="display: inline !important;"> <li style="display: inline !important;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;">This book is an old school tool kit from a far gone era now at our doorstep. Use it or mine it for a ton of ideas that can be very interesting. Players aren't going to be expecting it. </span></li> </ol> </b></li> </ol> </b><b><div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <ol style="display: inline !important;"><div style="text-align: center;"> <b><ol style="display: inline !important;"> <li style="display: inline !important;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><u>Conclusion </u></span></li> </ol> </b></div> <li style="display: inline !important;"><div style="text-align: center;"> <b><ol style="display: inline !important;"> <li style="display: inline !important;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;">This is an old school throwback that enables a DM to bring the "violence factor" up in a campaign without  TPKing the player characters while still making the mayhem center stage.
