Ok Rich I'm looking forward to a really great adventure from this. So can you give us any small disturbing details (minus the skybleeders).

Richard Pett (Contributor), Thu, Apr 17, 2008, 11:10 AM

Pity is treason...

I'm almost more interested in the article on the Red Mantis than the adventure itself. This is definitely one to look forward to.

I'm looking forward to seeing what they did to Rakshasas and I'm looking forward to Rich's adventure. He always does great stuff. (Sorry Nic but you got to admit its true).

Well, there's never anything BAD in a Pathfinder issue, it's alway just a matter of determining what your favorite thing is.

I'm sure you'll like he Red Mantis, and hopefully you'll like the adventure too - you're absolutely right about Pathfinder, I've just seen #8 and it is really outstanding on so many fronts.

Huzzah!

Don't apologise, he likes having his nose rubbed in it, it keeps him on his toes.

No Escape...

Hey Rich any other nuggets?

I like the title's similarity to a certain John Carpenter movie. :)

Please don't tell Louge, there'll be no living with him, not that I DO live with him and we're the same person or anything...damn

Hmm, you may have a point there.

I need to put a PC's eye out before we get to #9 then.

Richard Pett (Contributor), Sat, Apr 26, 2008, 02:37 AM

the name's Pliskin...

Salama, Sat, Apr 26, 2008, 02:39 AM

But by the end of the adventure, call me Snake.

Mikaze, Sat, Apr 26, 2008, 02:43 AM

This is making me want a Big Trouble In Little China-inspired adventure, you know.

HINT HINT, he hinted. ;)

Very brief skim of the pdf says this looks awesome. CotCT is really becoming something special, I'm itching to run it (we'll finally be starting mid-late May if RL doesn't catch up with us again). I'm in love with the Rakshasas already. Also BEST LOOKING BESTIARY EVER, is it just me or has the book yet again improved in terms of look? Though what on earth is going on with Laori Vaus picture? I mean I don't mind the old school anime look, and it kind of fits with the character, but it's so out of place amongst all the other artwork that it feels really jarring, hmm...

anyway, I'm mostly getting over-excited, now to get a giant mug of tea and curl up in front of the computer screen for a couple of hours reading and plotting...

After reading the entry for Achaekek, the Mantis God, I think it is time for the Thri-kreen to get a Pathfinder make-over.

And I do love the Rakshasa entry, the spirit of Dragon's Ecology articles just won't die.

the last adventure was really good. i hope this one will keep up to the high standrds rhis series already set to itself.

Oh, geez. Now THAT'S a scary thought! Thri-kreen red mantis assassins quad-wielding sawtooth sabers.

So far this is looking great. I have read through the pdf but I don't get too in depth until I get my copy. Still so far this is looking really good. Though at the moment I wish there was a little more "time" for the PC's and Vencarlo to interact before the other rescue. (I will have to make time for that.) Great job as always.

I liked this module, its got a lot going for it. One thing I'd like to see that was missing in this one and past mods, is a bit more info, very brief, on some of the staff/guards at the major locations. At a minimum, just list their classes and races. In this mod, that applies to the Arkonas Palace. It applies to the Korvosan Guards, Sable Company, etc. Who's the 2nd in command of those? 3rd, etc. Maybe its in the guide, but in one of these mods it should be listed out.

Had i lost something? Why there's not a PDF version for Pathfinder 10?

The "Quarantine" picture by Julie Dillon made the Daily Deviation on DeviantArt for November 15th.

Would it be wrong of me to say that I think the foxlike rakshasa monk is incredibly sexy? :blush:
