What They're Saying About The Lair of the Leopard Empresses:
"Awesome beautiful swords & sorcery gaming"
- Ken St Andre, creator of the Monsters! Monsters!, Tunnels & Trolls, & Stormbringer RPGs
"The Lair of the Leopard Empresses is a stand-alone swords & sorcery RPG powered by Monsters! Monsters! It is a thing of beauty... Sarah Newton has revealed the path to take is both old and new. To say The Lair of the Leopard Empresses is inspirational doesn't do it justice. The first thing I did after it went live for sale on DTRPG was order a print copy. It quite simply is that good."
- Erik Tenkar, Tenkar's Tavern
"Yay, one of my favourite authors and publishers is back on the scene - and doesn't disappoint!
"Newton really excels at concise, atmospheric and flat-out funny descriptions of setting elements... it really makes me pump my fist - YES, that's how you do a proper fantasy RPG! ..."Most of all, have FUN writing it and let it show... The setting clearly flows from a love of the rules system, but it's also obvious how the setting then has changed the system, and how actual play has lead to tweaks and clarifications. The result is a beautifully organic whole that really just makes me want to play it."
