Westcrown is an excellently designed city, tiefling article is very helpful for character creation, bestiary is one of the best low-level ones yet, adventure is quite good, only problem is too much story xp. It needs more encounters and more action and less awards for following the story.
Almost useless. If you have 3e eberron, use that. This is only helpful if you are so brain-dead you can't fit dragonborn, tieflings, and eladrin into your game yourself or you want some nice statblocks.
Personally, my favorite issue of LoF pathfinders so far. I wasn't super fond of the genie article, but proteans were excellent, kakishon was awesome, the bestiary was quite good, and the adventure hit upon all of the things I like in an adventure. All in all, very good. Actually, all of Legacy of Fire so far has benn of very high quality.
Cover: antastic, as usual. No surprises there.
Adventure itself: Very good. Grauls were amazing and fantastic at the same time(except for Mammy Graul's picture), skull's crossing was very very cool, loved the idea of branding/tattoing the citizens of the town. Wonderful stuff.
Keep article: Not super interesting, but better than I thought it would be. Learned some new stuff about different castles in Varisia, that was cool.
Gazetteer: Perfect in every way, tons of info.
Bestiary: Very very cool, especially the skull skeleton.
Journal: Best journal yet, and that's saying something.
Pathfinder #1 = Awesome. The quality was great, writing was great, everything was great except some of the art. For example: Bruzthazmus, ameiko, rippnugget, madam mvashti. They all look kind of cartoonish. The cartoon style worked well on, say, erylium, but the above arts weren't so lucky. History of Thassilon was fantastic, especially the runelords and their polearms. Journal=amazing. I loved the mentions of cheliax, taldor, andoran, and galt(my favorite non detailed area so far). All in all, excellent product.
This is the last one. The big 150. Probably one of the best magazines of all times. I plan on running every one of these adventures. Every one. If you like Dungeon, or Nic Logue, or Bargle, or nostalgia, or Demogorgon, or Obox-Ob, or creepy old men, this mag is for you. BUY IT!
