Yes, and as for how the group should handle it. That really depends on the group.

I would look at PFS in your area and any shops that host games. Just try and network with the local players and find a group that closes matches your needs.

Another one I didn't know was coming out.

Mostly lint.

Yep first I have seen or heard of it, least that I can recall.

Thanks for the review, End. I will be picking this up sometime next month. Side note, based on RS's quality and End and DM's reviews I purchased both random woodland encounters and what's the npc like anyway. I figured everyone involved should know.

Cheers!

Ok you're crazy got it. :)

Tell that to Games Workshop.

Yes yes that was kinda my point. Or tell it to warmachine which is popular here too.

Wicked looking cover.

I find it amusing that this book (like other Pathfinder campaign setting books) says it's "suitable for play in any fantasy world" considering its focus. :)

Except you could, you can replace Golarion with Faerun with out to much trouble. Just ignore a few pages and use the planets and what not in Faerun's setting fairly easily.

There's no pirate class; however, there are archetypes for bard, fighter, ranger, and (shock!) rogue. Sort of what one would expect, as they all fit well with the pirate lifestyle—except the Ranger. What's that doing there? Basically, the archetype for the Ranger puts her in the position of a crew leader, trading a few land-oriented class features for things that help her allies win fights.The Ranger approach is interesting, something I may just have to play through for Skull and Shackles.

But there is the "Inner Sea Pirate" prestige class.

Actually, I don't think you will be allowed to use any of these archetypes for Skull & Shackles. Remember, you start shanghied, not as pirates.

Unless you was already a pirate, got shore leave in port. Got drunk and shanghied by another crew for your trouble to start all over at the bottom again. :)

I did like the book, just enough to give tidbits to be useful and still leaving a lot unexplored. At least when Paizo gets around to doing other "settings" they can tie them in this way. So those that want to combine stuff can and those that don't can ignore what they don't like.

Ok good, by the title I thought it meant Bill was hanging things up or something. Not the best of thread titles. :)

Honestly I didn't know that. A blurb about that would have been helpful. But I think I would also add surnames of more modern ones along with the blurb explaining how they didn't use surnames but how if you want to. Here is a list of more modern ones. Nicknames just honestly wasn't useful. I do really like the idea of the product though. As it stands with out a explanation, it looks like you just decided not to. I mean not everyone is going to know that.

Reviewed, and I almost didn't post my review. i hate giving low ratings.

The extra is honestly the main reason I get the AP's. yeah I like the adventures but at this point I honestly have more adventures than i will likely ever use, but the other stuff is still handy.

The ones I like the most have been the region sections, gods sections, ecology style sections like the tiefling one or ones like it, stuff like that. Monster part is pretty cool and I can take or leave the fiction, for of it I like and some I don't.

Nice review End. I was curious about this product. Sounds like I will be picking this up when money allows. Though a shame about the rough edges.

Don't trust people that review stuff. their weird and crazy, just saying. Don't invite them into your home ever, or feed them after dark and never every get them wet... books get soggy.

Thanks and yeah i am very much looking forward to the rest of the series. Hopefully we won't have to long to wait.

Thanks, i think I liked this one a bit more than you did.

Yeah it did I always save it though. So I just reposted it a few seconds later.

I have about 5 done. Just doing spell checks and stuff on them now and giving them a final read to make sure I didn't miss anything before posting them.

Nice work, I personally haven't heard anything more from Alluria. If I do I will post it up here.

very cool.

Nice. I have liked the series so far.

For 90 pages it is a fair price. Though as End pointed out a bit much for a impulse buy. I am interested and when money allows I will check it out.

Neat cover image. But 16 pages for a character sheet? I can't think of enough to take up that many pages. Honestly curious what is going to be on all of them.

Nice but I don't want to wait that long.

Sounds very cool.

Nice review End.

RPG superstar is taking up a lot of time, add in the holidays etc. Clark and company will be back fairly soon. Or so the last I heard from Clark.

Consolidated from all my previous ramblings (and then some!)

101 Premade Buildings
101 Preconstructed Spellbooks
101 Advanced Feats
101 Animal Companions
101 Town Activities (molasses flood, drunken bar fights, chickens let loose. Low level quest hooks!)
101 X-Sized Settlement Activities
101 Background Feats (1st level only)
101 Alchemical Items
101 Drugs and Poisons

I will +1 that list and add.

101 Town Guard (a short stat block, personality, history, RP tips to help bring them to life with a random table)
Then do a 101 of each type of NPC the same way. 101 nobles, whores, shop keepers, tavern wenches, beggers, etc.

I agree with End, lets see whats Beyond...

yeah it is on my short stack, just got a lot of stuff going on in RL have since the holidays and have had little free time to read or do reviews.

Nice review End.

When i play male characters I pee standing up, still about as accurate as most guys. :)

Wait, YOU pee standing up, or your character pees standing up?

One thing I make sure all my characters do, male or female, is make sure the seat is down when they are done...

yes.

Well, you are a Demon, so that is kind of the same thing. :D

Demon Princess thank you very much.

Yeah I would imagine all of the books of this line will just be repacked versions of their 3.5 books sadly. Wish they would at least update them with all the new Pathfinder classes etc.

Nice cover, better than the first two. :)

Nope demi plans, or buildings etc all work too.

I have always liked his art, but it is very much pinup style art and not realistic art.

I will echo what End said. As that pretty well covers my feelings on it.

That's because this is a 3.5 book just repacked. Just like there other recent release. I have the original book. I bought it when they had the big blow out sale of 3.5 stuff. This is the first section of three from their Classic Play Book of Adventuring which is over twice the size of this and gets into some other stuff. Though this section was the most useful when it came out.
