I finally made it around to picking this product up in preparation for a campaign that is starting up shortly. This is the bar for all city book supplements to meet. With the city of Kaer Maga brought to life this book was an excellent read with interesting districts, factions, people and geography.

The Pathfinder Beginner Box Heroes Miniatures Set is a very impressive initial offering from WizKids. The excellent paint job and attention to the little details are not something I am accustomed to seeing in pre-painted minis. From detail on Ezren's robe to Merisiel's tattoos to the markings on Valeros' sword these minis do not disappoint. An excellent set of pre-painted minis!

I have posted a full review as well as an unboxing with more detailed photos at irontavern.com.

Death's Heretic is another strong offering in the Pathfinder Tales line. The book unravels a mystery of sorts in the Thuvian deserts that has the reader journeying with Salim through the outer planes in attempts to unravel the story behind the murder of a wealthy merchant man.

The pace is quick, the plot intriguing and Salim is quite an interesting hero in the book. The tour of Thuvia and the planes are well done as written by James Sutter. Definitely a good read.

Kobold Quarterly issue #19 is another stellar issue from the Kobold gang. With articles ranging from White Necromancers, how to spice up trap encounters, to a solo adventure, to more archetypes and discoveries for alchemists, and more. There is certain to be something that will help inspire your game in this magazine regardless of your system of choice. It is nice to have a quality magazine on the market whether in print or PDF format.

The Pathfinder Society Field Guide is a good introduction to the Pathfinder Society as an organization and certain elements of Organized Play. There is some good information on ranks within the Pathfinder Society and the branches represented within. Unfortunately the book seems to be targeting too many audiences between the Pathfinder Organized Play aspect and the Pathfinder Society as a part of Golarion giving it a disjointed feel. Likely useful to someone brand new to the Pathfinder Society, it is less so for someone who has been reading about Golarion already and considers themselves comfortable with the world and the Society.

Faiths of Balance is a solid resource for players that choose to follow a neutral deity. With information on what types of adventurer would follow a deity, what identifies worshipers, how other faiths get along - there is a wealth of information to help a player more accurately portray a follower of any of the neutral deities covered in the book. Coupled with new traits, feats and spells there is plenty to help a player or GM.

This is an excellent book for GMs to learn more about the history of the megadungeons in Golarion and put them well on their way to populating them with their own touch. For GMs that do not run in Golarion, there is still plenty of excellent material to use from this book and drop into your own world.

This one is the best of the series yet and I say that even as a huge Elaine Cunningham fan. The characters were great and some of the twists along the way were well played without being over the top.

If you haven't given the Pathfinder Tales novels a try yet, pick this one up and you won't be disappointed. Looking forward to more from Howard Andrew Jones.
