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. Basically, what the title says. The rules are decent, if extremely different. Roleplaying is still possible depending on who is playing. The big problem, though, is that realism in the game is dead. The rules are no longer realistic, even from a "wizards and dragons" point of view. Perhaps realism is the price of balance. If so, I'll take the realism. This, in my opinion, is the best version of D20 3rd edition released to date. One of the best RPGs I've ever seen. Streamlined without being overly simplistic or homogeneous. I think the art on the cards themselves is great, but the backs are lacking as far as suspension of disbelief. Putting them in card sleeves solves this problem well. Excellent. An instant favorite.

I've been looking forward to this book for awhile and I enjoyed everything about it, but the section on the planes is by far the best. The structure makes perfect sense without everything being too uniform. Now I can't wait for the book on the planes. In third edition, the character sheets were excellent quality four-page, class-specific and impossible to print out at home. What does fourth edition give you? Four two-page generic sheets, not worth any price. This should be a free PDF download. Also, Wizards falsely claimed that it was 32 pages, so it loses more points there. Another great supplement for the Pathfinder Chronicles line, and one that makes it easy to run the many modules set in Darkmoon Vale.

In a world where magic can cure diseases, plague-based plots are hard to create. This adventure fixes that with explanations for why it can't be cured backed up by the rules. After that, the plot is great. Great adventure.

This is arguably the best undead-based adventure I've seen, and many appear to agree with me -- it sold out first, and it got up to 150 pounds on Ebay. If you haven't read this, pick it up when it reprints next month. I got this out of the Treasure Chest. This is my first map pack product, and the quality and variety of the maps ensured that I will almost certainly buy the others. I got this out of the Treasure Chest. The text was small and blue on a white background, but that didn't bother me much because my eyesight is good. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone with bad eyesight, but other than that it's great. Everything about this works well, from the high quality paper to the NPCs to the overall design. I can't believe they still had copies at this point. I bought one even though I already had the module (It's inexpensive enough that I still saved about $10) and was amazed. I've never really bought many of the GameMastery products, but I think after this, I'll be a returning customer. Great. All of the monsters are vastly improved. Especially the bugbears, trolls and goblins. I like the rules changes and think that it's more balanced, but not completely so. It still needs some more work, and it's good that Paizo is allowing fans to give feedback before the final release rather than just releasing a new ruleset every year or two. Although people complain about characters being too powerful, it appears that they level up more slowly due to the different xp per level table. I like it and hope it improves even more before the final. Well, I just got mine today and It's great, but the "Playable Encounter" is not actually for D&D, as I had expected, but merely for the miniatures game. Now the miniatures game is just fine, but the scenarios are really rather dull. I would definitely reccomend this, But thought I should point that out. |
