"The art for Elemental Lairs is incredible. I also like the layout. The pdf in particular has lots of links that can be used to jump to information easily. [It has] excellent suggestions for adjustments that can be made to games to make lairs and boss fights interesting, epic, and unexpected. Even outside of boss fights, much of it can be used to make more dynamic terrain encounters. Legendary Lairs: Elemental Lairs would be an excellent addition to any Game Master's collection."

— Marina, DTRPG customer, review for Legendary Lairs: Elemental Lairs

"MageGate has useful, usable, thematic lairs. The legendary and lair actions help flesh out how and why to use them, adding flavor to whatever level your encounters are set for."

— Robert, DTRPG customer, review for Legendary Lairs: Elemental Lairs

"Too often weather is neglected as an element of TTRPGs, perhaps because it’s too daunting to come up with all the mechanics, but here MageGate has done it for you. Super charge your games with this omnibus, loaded with conditions, effects, and everything else you’ll need to imperil your players in new and exciting ways."

— Amazon customer, review for Extreme Encounters: Weather and Terrain Elemental Omnibus

"Don’t just say ‘You’re walking through the forest.’ There can be so many other ways to bring the space to life! And once you do that [with this Elemental Omnibus] that could lead to some really cool storytelling. I really like this book for the flexibility of the options… really, really fun!"
