If you love the Pathfinder Campaign Setting/Golarion then this the best choice. I will likely never use all the cannon found in all the books I have–but part of the fun of RPGs is that it's just as fun to read about/imagine as it is to play. Most recently, the intros in this line have been off the hook. Hell Unleashed and Occult Mysteries intros are my favorites so far. I enjoy those two intros equally to the entire book. Since I subscribe to the Adventure Paths and get 30% of all my books, the prices with shipping work out to be the same as if I bought it retail–except I get the PDFs for free which I print in prep for games Props to Benjamin Bruck for this gem! This adventure is top notch in roleplaying, encounters and flow. The flow of the adventure was my favorite–it moved along amazing and the fun never stopped. I had mostly brand new PFSers and they loved it. The mini encounters with role play and skill checks really dug into that safari feeling. The combats were not easy for 1st level characters and kept everyone on the edge of there seats as the risked life and limb. I would run this again anytime. Surprised by Castles of the Inner Sea

Castles of the Inner Sea is full of castle flavor. It wasn't on my "must get list", found it second hand, and now its on my recommendation list. Its full of juicy castles, backmatter and NPCs. My favorite part was the dungeon crawl for each castle. Need a 4th level crawl? Done! Now I wish the crawls had PFS chronicles. Wow! This is one of the very best of Pathfinder Tales. I was captured in the first chapter and could not put this book down. Never a dull moment. I will be recommending this book to lots of people, and already have just a few chapters in. I want a sequel and/or more Pathfinder setting books from Michael A. Stackpole. His writing has some serious style. This is a great e-book!!! If you're a Pathfinder Society player or admirer you need to read this book. I'm was not a fan of reading books on my phone, but this story and others have made be a level 3 phone reader. Radovan + Jeggare + Hellknights + Egorian! What is not to love? 5 chapters long. Radovan Spoiler:
He ruins his favorite jacket. Muuuuuhahaha! This is a truly great and exciting scenario. My players felt very rewarded overcoming the intense challenges presented. Elven Entanglement has become my favorite scenario. It provides unique encounters and great role play opportunities. I really enjoyed GMing and preparing it. It is a pleasure to read. Both players and the GM need to bring their A-game. Especially GM. Brush up on all the rules, monster abilities and all the details. The GM Resources thread is crucial. It will save your ass... and most of your players. I'm looking forward to GMing this again! p.s. Don't miss out on the poetry in the GM Resource thread. It set an amazing tone. This is the plane jumping novel I've been looking for

Ready to learn about the planes? Want to know what the first world is all about? This is it. James L. Sutter is a phenomenal writer. Absolutely 5-stars. The thing I like most about this product is that the content and feel of the adventure was super digestible. I read it once, and I was ready to go! They players loved it too. I dropped it into the game as they were traveling between cities. When reading box text, I replaced the word lake with river and soldiers with sailors. So easy! How I adjusted for our campaign:
The PC's didn't have anything super valuable or sentimental items, but one PC was saving all of his gold to buy a big ticket item, so the goblin stole his bag of gold. I was running two level 2 PCs through this 1st level adventure made for 4PCs, it was perfect difficulty level. I also replaced the 3 goblins with the goblin PC's from we be goblins. This made it a little more difficult, but more importantly, super flavorful. When they searched the goblin corpses, the things they found were hilarious. This book is better than any Kung Fu movie I've ever seen. And I've seen a ton. It's got all the elements of Pathfinder that I love, mixed with martial arts and crazy kung fu fantasy goodness! FIrst book to blow my mind in a while. And to top it off, Dave Gross is a superb writer. It's not enough that I read fantasy, I want amazing writing. In Master of Devils, I got it. The detail, colors size are outstanding!!! The actual mini is better that what is pictured. It's friggin' huge! I love it. The PC's are going to have to roll a will save or buy new pants. This is one hellava mini. This was a outstanding read. I enjoyed every moment. I loved the dungeon dive at the end, and travels through Golarion. All of Tim Pratt's characters were great, but Skiver was my absolute favorite! I would love to see him get his own story. |
