This was my groups first go at Pathfinder after playing *that other game* for a couple of years. At first everyone was skeptical, comparing game systems to each other. But because this adventure is so rich with story and plot, the players soon forgot mechanics and just started to play the game.

The story starts off with a fair amount of investigation, which my players loved learning about the backstory of the word they were entering. They then spent time exploring the haunted prison while taking a great interest in the townsfolk of Ravengro. I have a large group (6 players + me GM'ing) and its hard to keep everyones attention- but the HoH managed to do just that. With enough horror elements to keep everyone guess to enough tactical elements to keep everyone alert.

The last thing I'll mention is the "new" elements introduced in the module, mainly haunts and some new magic items commonly associated with 'horror' themes. My group had fun learning about the haunts and how to stop them while forcing them to sometimes run back to town to reconsider their actions.

This is easily one of my favorite modules of all time. And, it made my group embrace Pathfinder (forgetting that other game for at least five more modules).
