I agree with what Kyle Baird said below. Even though I had the map drawn out on gaming paper beforehand, it was difficult to keep it covered until the final location, and if its not already on the table, you lose some immersion by making everyone move books due to the size. A decent module, but could use some more ways for the backstory to shine through

Her head is just round... no nose to speak of. After seeing the beginner box set, I expected all of the iconics to be as good.

This was by far my most memorable game at Gencon. The final fight is tough, and for a group with two ranged rangers the early fights were wicked annoying. There is also plenty of room to roleplay, at the beginining of the last room, but you need to be willing to bring someone away from the table to really prevent metagaming for it to have its full effects..

I can see what the other reviewers are talking about with the story, but if you are following this year's megaplot, you understand that this story isn't ended at the end of the module (and didn't start at the begining of the module - which could be the tricky part to convey if you are not following the metaplot), and that there is more to come.

I think the fight that can possibly split the party by design was the only one that was an issue, if only because the person split off took 8 more rounds than the rest of the party did dispensing everything else.

It is a more dangerous mod, but with people screaming that PFS is too easy, i don't see that as a bad thing. Not for the feint of heart, but still able to be defeated without any deaths by 4 underoptimized characters if they are played smart - my gnome is living proof.

as some of the other reviewers have said, some of the stories are hit or miss. That being said, the stories that I didn't like had some of the more inciteful interviews of the authors, telling what they thought worked and why. I know what works in the stories I like, but its nice to hear why an author wrote something the way they did, especially if you don't like it.

As someone who writes in my spare time, it was really nice to see what pros think of thier early work... and in some cases it means all might not be lost.
