Monkey Isle 1st Edition

For the price, how can you beat the open-source remake of the classic D&D X1 Isle of Dread?For anyone who hasn't figured it out, the Basic Fantasy rpg system is a basically open-source hybrid of D&D + Ad&d 1e. Almost directly compatible with any "OSR" type game, or even w/ 5e. Highly recommended since it's too cheap to ignore.

It is like Tolkien meets Edgar Rice Burroughs by way of Jules Verne. There is a dragon's hoard of adventure to be found inside the pages of this old school module. Grab your character sheets, pencils, and dice, and find a large oaken table somewhere, preferably deep within a dungeon lit by torchlight and prepare to have a blast.

I am not really a fan of how they do not print the title on the spine. Content is great though

I love the system and price as far as the module goes it doesnt really offer much in the way of narrative just a big island of monkeys my children had a blast all the same running from dinosaurs and fighting monke

It definitely brings back my days as a kid reading the Isle of Dread. Yes, it's silly. And it even turns the silliness up to 11 with talking apes, but that's totally fine. Gaming doesn't have to be totally serious all of the time, and the value for cost is amazing.

Oddly I liked this one the best of the 4 adventures from Basic that are on Amazon. This one had less story involved, but actually worked better. A long lost to civilization set of islands to explore does make for better sense than ruins or villages of monsters across the street in a fairly civilized area,

Excellent product and Fast shipping

great

Pirates, dinosaurs, indigens under the influence of an evil cult, evolved man-eating apes, lost temples, etc.While being quite your usual fantasy sandbox (after all, the PCs might fight a dragon), its core elements make it very usable for any pulp themed game or anytime you feel like having them washed over tropical beach.

This is one of the most interesting adventures I've ever read. The intelligent simians are really fun, and the hexcrawl is robust enough that this could almost serve as an entire campaign setting
