It's got a wide variety of monsters, in type, level, and cool combat abilities. And, while some of the art is not as cool as the first edition art, other entrys' illustrations are far superior.</p>

(4 stars)Alexander MacLeodhttps://paizo.com/products/btq01znc?Pathfinder-Society-Scenario-102-The-Mosquito-Witch2019-08-15T14:33:14Z<p><b>Pathfinder Society Scenario #1-02: The Mosquito Witch</b></p><p>I was not sure how much I'd like this adventure after just reading it, but I can say after running seven tables of it a GenCon that it is a solid scenario. It warns you at the beginning that it is going to be investigation heavy at the start, but the interesting NPCs and occasional non-battle threats were enough to keep all my players interested. While the scenario suggests you go hard towards either "Blair Witch" or "Scooby-Doo", I went with a mix of the two, and it seemed to work out well.</p><p><b>Pathfinder Society Scenario #1-02: The Mosquito Witch</b></p><p>I was not sure how much I'd like this adventure after just reading it, but I can say after running seven tables of it a GenCon that it is a solid scenario.

While the setting and <i>Advanced Player's Guide</i> NPCs easily stand on their own, my favorite bit was the Awareness mechanic which tracked how well the PCs were hiding and what the city did about it when the PCs drew too much attention to themselves.</p><p><b>Pathfinder Society Scenario #2-01: Before the Dawn—Part I: The Bloodcove Disguise (PFRPG) PDF</b></p><p>I ran this adventure some three or four times for tables at GenCon, and everyone had a blast.
