Can't help but notice that mr Logue here keeps trying to move things away from Sixfold, could it be that he knows just how much his previous AP entries will be crushed by this adventure?
Birthing Logue, birthing. I believe your words were 'awesome, just awesome.'
Huzzah and don't forget to stand when god save the queen comes on, you're here under sufference.

Silence, Pett! The PAIN! My ears...my eyes...they BLEEEEEED!

Pre-Order now and save $10...by the way you can get em Pathfinderized. We send you PDF copies of every version, and when the book is ready to ship we email you and ask you what version you want for your print copy.
Sounds intriguing. If we weren't miles behind on APs already, I would be really tempted. But with things being as they are, I'm only regular tempted.
Bravo on such a cool idea, guys! I only heard about the script in this adventure today. I definitely have to pick it up, and maybe I can get a staged reading of it going in the NYC area, if I can find enough multiclassed actor/gamers brave and crazy enough to try it. (It will have to wait until the production of LION IN WINTER I'm directing this fall gets on its feet, though...)

Awesome.
Where are you directing LION IN WINTER? And when does it go up. I'm in NYC until Sept. 23rd - love to catch it.
Also @Yoda8myhead: Email me! nflogue@hotmail.com (possible gaming this week!)

This is my first AP subscription. I realise that the Gen Con thing and the office moving thing delayed some of the orders.
When do the normal monthly suscriptions ship out during a typical month?
They generally ship once Paizo physically receives the books from the printer in China. Generally this is within a week of when the credit card precharge email goes out, but sometimes delay happen even after the boat arrives in the US. As for when in the course of the month shipments usually go out, Paizo has tried to schedule all books to arrive in their warehouse at the beginning of each month so that if there are delays (such as now) they still go out during the same calendar month.
Just noticed that What Lies in Dust is for Level 7.
Does this actually take you from 3 to 7 or is there a gap?
That's almost a level per trial... It must be a long play.
What Lies in Dust actually covers levels 5th through 7th. The Sixfold Trial goes from 3rd to 5th. I'll make sure these changes appear on the website.
In seconds, I will be able to tell you.
Hoo-aw!
ADD: Depending on how you count, 30 pages--including all the relevant material. But if you only count the description of the acts in game, 4 pages, or if you only meant the script, 10. Or if you just count both of the latter, 14.
OK, just from glancing through, I think this issue is going to win in the hilarious illustrations category by a mile. Guess the cover should have been a clue to that!

Damn! I did my best to delay Pett's adventure, but apparently a few PDFs slipped through!
;-)
Hope you all enjoy the play!

Oh, and Rich is a dog-breathed puke of a human being, and a dribbling fool of an adventure designer. Thank god, I held his pen-hand and wrote this adventure for him.

Has everyone gotten theirs? I've not gotten mine and I'm really looking forward to reading this play...I realize it is Chelish, but I hear it was ghost-written by an Andoran playwright, so this one should be good. (Unlike the last three Cheliax saw fit to call "plays". Who sacrifices a goat as part of a love scene?)
Does anyone else find this adventure entirely tedious and rather boring?Why am I not surprised by comments such as these? That is just weak, unjustified Andoran criticism towards Chelaxian art and culture! Away, fool, before I unleash a torrent of poisoned beard spikes at you!
"Oh no, it doesn't have new-fangled nonsense like a President in it, and no one is lying to the people about how they have a "vote" and that it actually counts!"
Of course they find it boring. They know nothing about culture. They pass their time protesting about things like "Women aren't equal enough yet! They should get free prostate exams, too!" and "Meat is murder! Veggies are murder! Eat stones!" Damn hippies.
Does anyone else find this adventure entirely tedious and rather boring?You played through it already?! You, sir, are a faster gamer than I!
I think what has to be recognized with this adventure is that leading up to the actual performance of the play itself is not exactly chock full of mayhem and violence. Which is okay by me - but then, I'm the GM, not a player, and have a less mayhem-n-violence focused table (most of the time).
If I get the impression that my players want some mayhem-n-violence at about this point, I've got a few spiffy modules/society scenarios I can dust off ... or they can do the tango with the
This chapter of Council of Thieves is classic Pett - and I am of the opinion that he may have outdone himself. His 'opus of the year' as it were. :)
It's hard for me to tell if the argument on this thread is legit, or if it's a bunch of RP between factions.
In the case of the former, please try to avoid personal attacks or name calling; everyone's entitled to their opinions, and I always suspected this adventure would be EXCEPTIONALLY polarizing since it's so unusual and has so little combat in it; we had a similar initial backlash from readers with Shackled City's "Foundaition of Flame" and also Age of Worms' "Prince of Redhand," both adventures that are light on combat and heavy on other types of game play. And in each of those adventures' cases, after the initial backlash stage wore off, both became commonly cited as highpoints of the adventure paths and well-loved adventures in their own right. I suspect because fans of hack-and-slash had PLENTY of other choices to choose from (even in the same AP!) and after their disappointment wore off quickly, they just focused on the fact that they still had lots of adventures to their tastes, but the fans of heavy RP adventures, who AREN'T as often served by game products in this way, remained very vocal in their praise for the adventures.
In the case of the latter... aieee! You're confusing the poor Editor in Chief with your unexpected role play in a product feedback thread!
I think it's also worth mentioning that much of the fun that comes from roleplay-heavy adventures doesn't come through from a simple read-through of the material. It takes a party going through it to really flesh it out. A reader can get a pretty good idea of what's going to happen in a combat-heavy adventure but the same isn't as true when the plot hinges so much more on character and NPC interactions.

You, sir, know nothing of opera!And get a haircut!
Gao yang jong duh goo yang!
KNOW NOTHING ABOUT OPERA!!
I'll have you know that since I was a child would risk dishonoring my family to watch as traveling entertainers would perform operas such as Walgneer's "Der Ring des Aroden" and Mozarious' "La clemenza di Iomedae".
It was much to my dismay when I travelled to Westport only to find that such great works had been banned and only operas such as "Chelish Fever" and "Unholy Blood and Asmodeous Moon" were being shown.
Gwai-gwai long duh dong!
And lose the harlot makeup!
In the case of the latter... aieee! You're confusing the poor Editor in Chief with your unexpected role play in a product feedback thread!
Oops...sorry...is being bored at work an appropriate excuse? If I had the PDF maybe I wouldn't be so bored ;)
...when I travelled to Westport ...That might be the problem there! Westport's in the Forgotten Realms!
:P
James, James, James... it appears we need to send you to the Chelish brainw... er, rehabilitation camp *again*! You should know that Westport is Westcrown's former name, and Westgate is the city in Forgotten Realms! ;)
In the case of the latter... aieee! You're confusing the poor Editor in Chief with your unexpected role play in a product feedback thread!
Har har har! We don't "play" -- we're on a sacred mission to gather more souls to our dread lord, the Supreme Deity known to mortals as Asmodeus! And, of course, to spread the word of the glory of the Eternal Cheliax -- the mightiest, most beatiful empire that has ever existed on Golarion! ;P
