Convoluted plot, mediocre character development


While I didn't HATE the book, or the use of the present tense, there was little I loved or liked about it. Few of the characters called to me in any way. Gad was okay, the rest were either bland, cliche, or unrealistically extreme. The whole plot was a bit of a reach, too. On the plus side, there were a few scenes that did work for me. I thought the whole first chapter was great. And (I'll try to be spoiler free) the scene late in the book with the halfling and the trap was really interesting. Unfortunately, the few scenes I enjoyed couldn't save the novel as a whole. While I finished the book, I can't say I was very satisfied after doing so.

One of the best Pathfinder Tales offerings!


I've gleefully consumed all of the Pathfinder Tales to date, and Death's Heretic is easily one of the most enjoyable reads. Sutter is a masterful writer. His enigmatic main character Salim is very well developed - I was really drawn in as I learned more and more about his history and personality as the novel unfolded. While the plot is a planes-hopping romp through exotic locales, Salim's strong characterization and the central mystery of the story keep the reader grounded. Sutter did a great job of making Thuvia feel like its own distinct country - the story truly felt like it was set in Golarion. I'm really looking forward to Salim's continuing adventures, more so than any other Pathfinder Tales character (okay, okay, tied with Radovan and Varian ;-).

Functional and easy to use


This is exactly what I expect out of an app - it is easy to use, looks good, performs the task it was designed for, and is inexpensive. This will get a lot of use at my gaming table. I can give the physical deck I own to my players to use, and keep my iPhone behind my DM screen.

Great Read!


I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters were complex, the pace built up nicely as the book went on, and it really gave a good feel for Golarion. I'm not one to read the same book over and over, but I would definitely give this one a second read. Can't wait for the next one!

Great introductory module


I ran this adventure for a mixed party which included first time roleplayers, long time gamers who had never played pathfinder before, and one person who played pathfinder before, and they all really loved it. It does a great job of explaining rules/concepts to the DM, while providing a immersive experience to the players. I ran this with the dungeon flip map which turned out great. Can't wait to start Masks of the Living God!

Soooo worth it


I've got no idea what it is like to actually play the adventure, but BOY does Paizo put out a product that is easy to DM. I didn't have to tweak a thing. The NPCs were well detailed and believable, and it was so easy to come up with ways to make the PC's a part of the Sandpoint community. The battles were fun and interesting, the supporting articles were great, and the physical quality of the product top notch. Just a great product.

Perfect product


Products like these are the reason I'm no longer supporting WotC, and all of those gaming dollars will be going to Paizo. Wow. The background info, the hints on how to get a party together, the flavor, the presentation - it is all perfect. And at $2.00 a pop, and free PDF download available, it is clear that Paizo is concerned more with the player's experience than squeezing every dollar out of us. Please keep up the good work, Paizo!
