Dane of War Gives The Encountered 5/5 Stars!
“In my 30-some years as a gamer, I’ve owned a lot of creature manuals. But out of all of them, I can honestly say that The Encountered: Volume I is the greatest of them all. Matthew Bradbury’s art is completely over the top awesome, and when combined with David Carter’s fine word-smithing—this is by far the single nicest RPG product I’ve gotten in 2009.”

RPGnet gives the Alpha Omega Creature Manual 5/5!
“Mind Storm Labs’ The Encountered is by far the best looking creature manual I have owned for any game. It is loaded full of top-notch artwork and is full of creative ideas for factions and adversaries to use in an AO campaign. I still say Alpha Omega and MSL have the best production qualities of the entire industry.”

RPGAggression Gives the Alpha Omega Creature Manual 5/5 Stars!
“This monster book rocks! Beautiful, rich and original, 200+ monsters, 285 pages, fleshed out with tons of additional info for using and making critters. If you play Alpha Omega, this is a must have. Here’s maybe the best part of the book: by my read, only about 10 – 20% of the monsters are truly setting specific. The Encountered will enrich any sci-fi/fantasy/horror game, and I advise considering it for non-Alpha Omega collections as well.”
