Scribbling Rambler's page

I liked this module a great deal when reading it, but it exceeded all of my expectations when I got to run it a couple of times for Free RPG Day.
Everything about this adventure is great, from the premise, to the pre-gen characters, to the challenges, to the right amount of detail on the NPCs... a winner all around.
The only thing that threw me a bit at first was the map for the major encounter area, but that was probably due to my comprehension rather than a fault of the adventure.
Highest recommendation!

A delightful collection of well-written stories by an author I was previously unfamiliar with.
A rarely seen niche - fantasy Americana. Really not a weak story in the collection, even with some of them being extremely short offerings.

The main reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that I am still struggling with the format. While the multi-column layout is true to the pulp origins of these books, I find it annoying. The interior art is fairly well-done, and the style actually meshes well with the style of the writing, but I still find the presence of the interior art an unnecessary distraction.

Still, an enjoyable read, and highly recommended!

Add my name to the list of those interested in the Silver John novels.

I got to run the entire 3-part series in one day this past weekend. And I understand the disappointment when you look at this adventure as the conclusion of the triad.
However, I ended up running this for a group of 6 players, with 5 newcomers to PFS, and they had a blast! And when I looked again at the encounters, there are a couple of clever encounters - the "trap" and the subsequent role-playing one.
I can't go higher than 3 stars because it has to be looked at as part of the series, and because of the apparent stat errors, but there is still a fun scenario lurking here.

Certainly, there are some flawed stories in this collection (for me, the worst was the Salvatore offering). However, the majority were surprisingly enjoyable, considering the premise. And I found the Q/A sections a valuable insight into the process of many great authors.
One note: some of the variance in quality may be attributed to the fact that these are first-published short stories, so some of the writers may have published novels prior to what is presented here.

A very enjoyable pair of stories that left me wanting more. Nothing complex, just well-written adventures. I am eagerly anticipating getting to The Ginger Star.

My first 5 Star review

Just made it home from Origins. Had a blast running and playing this game (as did many of the troops). I was even fortunate enough to get my copy signed by Josh Frost AND Mike Selinker!

Great production values. Hilarious gameplay. Infinite potential for expansion and sequels.

I am greatly looking forward to the 4-player rules and "Dismember the Alamo".

Played a game with my wife when I got home, and now she is insisting that we take it with us on our vacatiion at the Shakespearean Festival. Massive Brain Disjunction!!!

First of all: A BUCK FIFTY!!

I found this pdf to be a useful supplement to the existing underwater rules, whether it is for an adventure or a few encounters. The monster presented, and it's sample use as a recurring villain, were imaginative. Environmental hazards, combat influences, and ways of overcoming them, were well presented.

My only negative: the hazards of pressure change and "the bends" are discussed, but not detailed in game terms. More crunch here would have been appreciated.

Another positive: the word "whingers" is used in the intro!

We quite enjoyed our first spin through this game. The rules were easy to learn, but there was enough depth for a serious gamer to have fun.

Two ways to improve. The game takes up a Lot of table space for what is going on, due to the number of stacks of cards. Also, additional rules for two-player games would be a welcome addition.

I look forward to running a Demo at my FLGS in the near future.

This product will come in very handy for me as I run my ROTR campaign(s). It is the product that many on the discussion boards requested, as well as 2 very useful poster maps.

I agree that I would like to see larger maps in future products of this type (probably not possible until the 3rd AP). Perhaps the original maps could be commisioned in a larger pdf, and then shrunk to fit for the magazines. Similarly, the originals could be layered, to allow removal of key numbers and other secret info for the map folios.

I will buy other items like this for future AP's that I purchase.

I didn't expect to enjoy this book. I added it to my "Chapters" order of the other PS novels to get the free shipping.

I burned out on Moorcock during the '80s: Elric, Hawkmoon, Cornelius. I found too many of the Eternal Champion stories to ultimately be too dark and depressing.

This book is a delightful romp!
And kudos to Paizo for the production values.

One other comment, I would pay more for books printed in North America.

Consider my praises to be added to the accolades.

The only negative I found is that the font is to small for some of us aged 1st Ed players, especially when combined with a colour background and glossy paper. Perhaps if the Headers were smaller there would be room for larger text?

A brilliant product otherwise, especially at the price.
