Kovaud Reviews: Dark Matter

My absolute favorite group of homebrew content creators is Middle Finger of Vecna or Mage Hand Press! They put out excellent content and larger scale projects. Today I'm going to be reviewing their book Dark Matter! This is the first time I've done a review of this sort so I hope it goes well! In this review I will be analyzing three main categories: Writing for flavor, lore, etc., Content for mechanics and such, and Presentation for art and layout!



Dark Matter is an expansion book for 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons that delves deeper into the sci-fi aspect of D&D always nibbling at its periphery. Adding tons of new rules, subclasses, a new class, new items, races, lore, monsters, and spaceships!

Writing: 9/10

The writing for this book is absolutely great! It's an enjoyable read if you just want to sit down and read through it. In the beginning of each chapter there are short stories from different denizens of the Verse'. Which are enjoyable to read and helps tell the reader more about the universe that this book sets out to introduce us to.

Content: 9/10

The content contained in this book is top notch. Really well balanced and excellent all around. The class is rock solid with its mechanics and each of the subclasses are well made. They each show how much work was put into making the final product that we get to see. They've even added new rules for spaceship combat which are really well designed. There is also a smaller ruleset dealing with the scale of ships and monsters in space in the form of the Mega size which comes with Mega damage and Mega health. One hitpoint of Mega health/damage is equivalent to 100 regular hitpoints.

Presentation: 10/10

I have to give it to the folks over at Mage Hand Press. They sure know how to pick out their artists. The art in this book is really well crafted and very evocative! Each piece helps give a closer glimpse into the world of Dark Matter. From the more broad chapter intro pieces to the individual pieces for monsters, items, and subclasses. Each bit of artwork is absolutely gorgeous! The book is also well formatted and the layout for the book is excellent!

Kovaud's Rating: 9.5/10 
"Absolutely Essential For Every Roleplayers Shelf!"

Another class this week! This time it's the merchant! A combat lite class that focuses more on the roleplay aspect of D&D.
