Monstrous Lair #14: Lizardfolk Village by Steve Hood is a role playing game supplement published by Raging Swan Press. The supplement is stated to be system neutral, but also compatible with any version of Dungeons & Dragons, and is therefore covered by the Open Game License with some parts considered to be Open Game Content as a result.
The supplement is available as an 8-page PDF for $1.65 from DriveThruRPG but was purchased at a reduced price thanks to a special bundle. The supplement comes in two versions, a plaintext file and a PDF. Two pages of the PDF are the front and rear covers, two pages are ads, about half a page the front matter and Contents and one page the Open Game License.
Using this Monstrous Lair is a standard piece of text for the series and explains what the tables are and that the supplement makes two assumptions; the GM has a map of the lair and stats for monsters and details of any treasure.
The opening paragraph explains that lizardfolk live in swamps and marshes away from humanity and are untrusting of strangers. The d10 tables follow.
1: Outside the Lair has descriptions for the area around it.
2: What’s Going On? has things that lizardfolk might be doing.
3: Major Lair Features is more important features of the lair.
4: Minor Lair Features has similar but generally smaller features.
5: Lizardfolk’s Appearance has descriptions of ten lizardfolk.
6: Treasure has items of value though values aren’t given.
7: Trinkets & Trash is essentially junk.
Monstrous Lair #14: Lizardfolk Village in Review
The PDF is bookmarked with major and minor sections linked. The Contents are to a similar level of depth and is hyperlinked. The text maintains a two-column format and appeared to be free of errors. There is a single piece of black and white stock art. Presentation is okay.
The descriptions do assume that the lizardfolk are living in swampy areas, which is generally, though not always, true. The results also have a fair number that are primarily useful for a single lizardfolk living alone, rather than living in a village, and it’s more likely that a lizardfolk village will be encountered than a lizardfolk liar.
