A Review of the Role Playing Game Supplement #1 With a Bullet Point: 3 Templates for Stone Golems

#1 With a Bullet Point: 3 Templates for Stone Golems by Owen K.C. Stephens is a role playing game supplement published by Rogue Genius Games (originally Super Genius Games) for use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. As such it is covered by the Open Game License and some parts are considered to be Open Game Content as a result.

The supplement is available as a four-page PDF from DriveThruRPG for $1 but was purchased at a reduced price as part of a special bundle. One page is the front cover and one the Open Game License and Credits.

The first page has some standard text for the #1 With a Bullet Point range explaining the philosophy and what the supplements contain.

The High Concept briefly states these templates are intended to make stone golems more interesting.

The first golem template is Diamond, which is harder to damage and can take more damage, leaves behind diamonds when destroyed and is more expensive to construct, none of which is a surprise, though it isn’t made purely from diamonds. This golem is also very sharp and difficult to identify.

Lodestone is a magnetic golem that is immune to electrical damage, can carry more and, no surprise, can attract metal to it.

Pumice is a lightweight golem that is immune to fire, can swim, is barely resistant to damage and is faster. Also not much of a surprise.

#1 With a Bullet Point: 3 Templates for Stone Golems in Review

The PDF lacks bookmarks and is short enough that this isn’t a problem. Navigation is fine. Unusually for old Super Genius supplements, the text follows a three-column portrait format and appeared to be free of errors. Apart from the cover, there is a single piece of art. Presentation is decent.

None of these templates are bad, and all mean that stone golems can be tweaked. None of them are really surprising, though; all have pretty much the sort of benefits and differences that would be expected, given their materials, making them solid, but not really imaginative. #1 With a Bullet Point: 3 Templates for Stone Golems is an okay supplement and can be found by clicking here.
