This was my first exposure to a pathfinder adventure and upon reading it, I immediately subscribed! It is a fantastic story and a great adventure. I can't say enough good things about it...

I hope my players are in for a treat with this adventure path. Twists and turns, but all very straightforward to understand, makes for an interesting storyline.

Omissions in my opinion are some of the basics - shops, inns etc. would make it a little easier to run - even the names would be good enough. I know these are covered in the Guide to Korvosa, but some hints if you can't stretch to buying this supplement would have been useful.

A previous reviewer suggested that it was a little linear, which is true, but if players are going to be part of a storyline, then they will have to play ball a bit! Still a bit of room for alternate paths would have been a positive.

I prefer this path to the ROTR 1st module and I love some of the accompanying lore, so full marks for this aspect.

I bought this on Free RPG day at my local comic shop. The setting is intriguing and exciting. I know my table is going to love it and if that is the case I am going to scoop up PA 8 – 11 immediately. Thanks for another awesome setting for my players to live in!

1) My wife is running this AP, and, although she's introduced to DM'ing for the very first time with CotCT, the skill of Mr. Logue's writing enabled a new DM to run a compelling and engaging first installment to the second AP.

2) As always, I find grit, nefarious endeavors, and nasty/ unspeakable goings-on a delight in a game, and this installment crafts such naughty bits with utmost daring and decorum.

3) The adventure flowed, for me. It made sense, and I enjoy how my characters have become undeniably linked to the fate of Korvosa.

great AP issiue. about the best that could be done with a first level charcters adventure.
just one warning: din't use the otyugh encounter! there are to many of them during the first three adventures.

Good start to another AP. Really like poor Trinia, she certainly got the short end of the stick. Hope to see her in future installments.

A strong kickoff to what is looking to be a great AP.
A rich urban setting with a sort of 'medieval-Dickensian' feel, peopled with a detailed cast, EoA hits the ground running.
The adventure(s) have a nice episodic structure that serves as a great intro to the city and plants some seeds for the greater plot arc. Adventurers will deal with orphan-enslaving criminals, spidery crime-bosses, rioting mobs and a clutch of graverobbers (not to mention the ocasional hungry otyguh).
Other goodies include a neat writeup on Varisian culture, a surprisingly gripping journal of Shoanti rituals and a menagerie of critters you might find hanging out near the Thames waterfront.
Can't wait to run this one.

I love Nicholas Logue to death, but this adventure path starts off with a number of problems.

1) What if the PC's ally with the Arkonas? This is not hard to do.

2) What if the PC's decide 1200 GP isn't worth it to get embroiled in the situation?

3) What if the PC's hide out with Trinia and run from the city?

4) What if the PC's try to kill Blackjack themselves?

5) What if the PC's try to assassinate Queen Ileosa at the execution, heedless of the danger?

6) What if the PC's use the advantage of weeks of time passing between the meat and the endgame of the adventure to adventure, gain levels, and make themselves more powerful? Six weeks is a long time.

7) What if the PC's spend time working for the guard and volunteer the moment that the riots and chaos start?

This adventure has way too many opportunities to derail, and that's it's great failing. A good GM can get around it, but it's too linear for it's own good, and falls short of the mark by it's own desire to swashbuckle.
