Why's the cover say it's by Michael Kortes?

Why's the cover say it's by Michael Kortes?

Because the cover's not the final cover yet, and because that's an error on the cover we'll eventually fix.

This adventure is by Richard Pett. The next in the series, "What Lies in Dust," is written by Michael Kortes.

EDIT: We'll have a corrected cover up very soon.

Looking forward to seeing what Nick Logue has in store for us. I think it's FANTASTIC! that Paizo is having him write an article for the game within his area of specialty and expertise.

Not to put a negative spin on things, but actually I am not excited about seeing his name on it. Nick's Sinister Adventures has been a disaster - I don't mind all the delays but it is not cool how amazingly silent he is.

Agreed!

One must remember that Nick started the company before some major life changes hit him last September or so. He got his real-world dream job, and I'm sure his priority is to make sure that he devotes as much time to that as he needs. Sinister was started and the books were announced when he was in a very different professional place.

I agree with lojakz that this synergy between his professional expertise and passion and his rpg work is something I'm really looking forward to. I have hopes it will be both new and original, as well as evocative of the classic opera scene in Final Fantasy III/VI, which is still my favorite theater-based fantasy adventure of all time.

The idea of having the PCs join the cast of a play has me tickled.

One of my players is going to ADORE this adventure.

I picture the A-Team with mustaches pretending to be waiters getting into the party.

I think you'll have fun with this one, I'm rather pleased with it:)

Sorry Dithering! I'm going to do my very best to get everything back on track (and become my usually over-responsive hyper-yerba-mate-infused self) over the summer break.

Let's not lie, Rich. As usual you have served up over-pretentious servile trash. Thank god my tiny article is in there with it to shine some much needed radiance on a quagmire of bad grammar, lack-luster encounters, and what I can only imagine are tea-stains Wes took for garbled text and did his best to make sense of.

Phew...that felt good. Haven't c~&@#%!*#ed Pett on the boards in AGES! I feel like my old self again!

Eh, no worries - that was months ago...I'm over it! Sorry if that was a bit negative. Glad to hear you're alive and kicking.

Good to see you Nick.

Good to see your ah.. particular 'zeal' is undiminished.

(Aaw f--ck it really just had to come up with some pretense to replying to your post so that it can't be edited as easily later on.

I'm mildly curious to see if E.M. is going to show up admonishing bloody-semen-groin-biting by Paizo Employees and Affiliates on the Messageboard.

But hey- it is awesome to see you on the boards!)

Logue's back! Woohoo!

Anyway, this seems like the most interesting adventure I've seen in a while. If I wasn't going to somehow get into a pbp of this, this would definitely be the first adventure I would actually buy.

So, now that you and Pett are within a train ride (or car ride) of each other, do you meet occasionally to insult each other person? If so, who most frequently wins these frothing battle of wits?

Never go near the creep.

Can I have your man-babies? Or would the searing fires of your seed turn me to a cinder in seconds? Because I like my body as much as the next guy (ok, more than a very lonely thirteen year old with a new hobby) but I'm not sure I'd like it extra crispy.

*sigh* It's a conundrum.

Don't count on it, the Dean of your college and I have reached an understanding...

I can't wait for this. Cheliax, Hellknights, and crumbling Westcrown are all elements of Golarion that intrigue me. To have another Pett adventure centered around real role playing, like the Prince of Redhand was, in this kind of setting is exciting. Zeech's feast was one of the highlights of my recently completed AOW campaign. I used some recipes found here on the Paizo messageboards and put on a real dinner party feast. It was great gaming fun, primarily because it was such a different kind of adventure. I hope the Sixfold Trial can replicate that kind of memorable role playing experience. I think I've just found the next Paizo AP I want to run...

The challenge with writing this adventure was to tip the hat to prince of redhand without it being a repeat experience, only time will tell if I've got the right feel but I'm hoping the experience echoes redhand in a pleasantly twisted way.

Certainly there are plenty of elements in the adventure that will allow some very serious roleplay, the least of which is the play logue has written a part of. I think there may be some fun and games around tables come the autumn (QE).

From the "Age of Worms" adventure path in Dungeon #131.

After getting the detailed plot overview of the whole Council of Thieves AP this weekend from James and Wes, I have to say this one sounds like the most fun/interesting of the six. Is it September yet?

You wouldn't happen to know anyone who has this recorded, or perhaps committed to memory and wiling to type it up?

Hmmm... I don't know who to believe here. It's actually possible that both of you are right. I mean, he doesn't have to go anywhere near you to call does he?

I think the word Nick is looking for is 'summoned':)

He always struggles for words...

#2 was reprinted Logue - #2 not #3.

#2...

#2 is therefore the winner by 2 falls and a knockout.

Huzzah and up Princess Anne.

IS this the final cover art work?

Only reason I am asking is issue one is a different color from the other five.

Nothing major but I like uniformity I guess.

Well, I just reupped my Pathfinder AP subscription, in no small part thanks to the description of this module. The whole idea of the play sounds so fantastic that I just had to see what it was all about.

I've updated the cover and description to match the finished product. If the fat lady hasn't sung for you, clear your browser's image cache.

Yeah um thats some cover. She is getting pretty close to being as round as she is tall.

You're on a roll today, Vic! With the mass of books coming out next month, I assume you aren't done yet, either, are you?

Yeah, do we have to fight her, cuz what's the damage for rolling downhill...and does she have a higher CMB versus bullrush, also if you trip her does everyone in a 20' radius have to roll a balance check?

Looks like a truly... er, unique choice for a BBEG (although nothing less than I expected of mr. Pett) -- the fiendish, dreaded Chelaxian Fat Lady! ;P

It's all more cushion for the pushin' as they say ...

It's a pretty cool cover art I think. Looking forward to seeing who this lady is. She looks hamster ebil.

Perfect:)

Ahh, the fat lady (on the cover) whom I presume the PCs have to stop from singing? ;)

Edit:
Or perhaps they need her to do so, to bring the show to a successful end....

Ah, the Chelaxian Opera! *wipes away a tear*

Wow... wow, cover. It's finally happened. But shouldn't this have been 6 of 6, not the second volume?

Wow... wow, cover. It's finally happened. But shouldn't this have been 6 of 6, not the second volume?

In Cheliax, the fat lady doesn't sing at the end. She sings all the time, especially when your PCs are being menaced and harmed by monsters for the public's entertainment!

Anyway, when I promised more cheesecake than ever with this cover, I was obviously talking about the cheesecake INSIDE the cover character.
