I almost finish this, looking forward how the PC will behave on the final encounter... It is a great adventure, and a great AP start; my PCs never played an AP before and were absolutely in awe to this: great NPC, great plot, and a lot of staging for things to came, definitively a must have

I've read every adventure path so far, and this one was excellent. Brilliant NPCs, varied settings (while still remaining almost all urban), and an excellent plot. My only complaint would be that it wasn't initially advertised that it wouldn't be all urban. While it is almost entirely urban, don't oversell it as such. Edge of Anarchy opens the campaign brilliantly.

I've played through every Paizo Adventure Path so far, and this was mediocre.

That's not saying much.

Savage Tide was great, if you don't mind all the poorly written plot and badly balanced encounters.

Rise of the Runelords was fun because I accidentally played a character who was identical in both temperament and career path to the final boss, which resulted in Pure Plot Magic; it's maybe not supposed to be that good.

This wasn't quite as good as those because there wasn't really any character motivation other than "there's this awful city you're stuck in that's filled with horrible people and something bad is happening to them and it's up to you to stop it instead of just leaving like a reasonable, thinking person would." Also; a plethora of unkillable monsters you have to kill (yay for immersion killing metagame cheese!), repeated nonmagical fires that you can't put out even a tiny bit of for a few seconds with the equivalent of a firehose, and a chapter about disease and suffering that was ripped off from the video game Pathologic right down to the creepy dudes with beak masks.

It's between Savage Tide and Shackled City in purity of stupid because it had a castle in a volcano this time, which is size wise between Savage Tide's volcano homed prison and Shackled City's volcano homed entire campaign. Someone, apparently, has a thing.

At least it's a million times better than the festering squalor that was Age of Worms, the module that failed entirely because it didn't come with a "DON'T PLAY A ROGUE YOU POOR FOOL" sticker on the front.

This adventure is effectively five sub-adventures connected by a slender thread of campaign arc. The hostile NPCs are well drawn and fun to GM, the helpful NPCs are generally weak by comparison, and the impression becomes one of a mostly unpleasant city not worth saving.
Of the five subadventures, Old Fishery is good, although set up for day and most parties will raid at night. All the World's Meat is fairly average, with a plot thread that is not adequately followed. Eel's End is a good setting but potentially much of the cool stuff will be missed. The Shingle Chase is a fun parcour chase sequence. The Dead Warrens are a fairly standard dungeon crawl, albeit with a sick twist to the "rescue".
Each one is competently presented, but with a big city setting, more of a 'sand-box' feel would have been nice, particularly as a reasonable amount of time is needed between each sub-adventure.The rumbles of discontent seem a little forced as well.
The Harrowing mechanism is a great addition, though, giving a nice bit of flavour, with possible bonuses to the PCs.

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.

<I posted this review, and it didn't appear. However, there was an "edit review" link, so if this review double-posts, I apologize>

A great adventure in a great format to get familiar with Korvosa. After this the PCs will crave to do more city-crawling in the "home" of the AP Setting.

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.
