I read the reviews and nobody said whether it was fillable or not. So I bought it.
It is not fillable and does not do calculations which is what I want in a character sheet being I am lazy and do not like to redo my sheet everytime there is a change in my character.

So I am disappointed in the sheet. It is basically worthless to me and it will get buried on my hard drive in the dead sheet graveyard.

Up until last night Skinsaw Murders was my favorite adventure in the path. Last night my characters reached the home of the giant responsible for the attack on their town and whose plan may take over all of Varisia. It was a fantastic gaming day. We all had a lot of fun and we are not finished yet. Buy the whole path and run it for your unsuspecting PCs - they will either never forgive you or never forget you... Either way you win.

Nick Logue set out to create a disturbing romp through a backwoods inbred group like the Hills Have Eyes and he was very successful. I suggest as a DM doing a bit of work on connecting it with the rest of the AP and especially what the party had been doing previously but other than that it was tough and disturbing for my group and that was the intent. Wonderful.

The Anubis Murders by Gary Gygax is a fun read. It is set in an Earthlike world where a Magician/Priest from Eygpt is asked to solve strange murders of strong wizards. This Magician/Priest is somewhat of a celebrity in his world and his life is filled with challenges. Gygax is not the best writer of fantasy fiction but he is a good story teller and creates interesting characters.

Elak of Atlantis is a collection of stories by Henry Kuttner. These stories are written in the tradition of Conan. Elak is the brother of a King in Northern Atlantis and it follows his adventures through several conflicts with beings of great magical power often with divine help. There are Druids, Monsters, Gods, Swordplay and damsels in distress. Great work from a simplier time. I have read several Planet Stories books now and I have enjoyed them all.

I think the new flip-mats are great. The only thing I would change on this one is to have at least one of the towers be giant sized. Of course I am going to use it in the next few weeks when my group gets to PF4 and they are going to Jorgenfist.

I love that they are two sided with a scene on both sides and from now on I plan to buy two of them so I am use them together for big encouters.

This flip-mat is the best one Paizo has done. It is not a blank grid on the back side but has a detailed map on both sides. I am very happy with this product. I wish that I had it a couple of weeks ago when we had a random encounter with a Flame Drake on the way to Magnimar for the second half of the Skinsaw Murders.

Great job...

This chapter was pure genius, especially the haunted house section. My players were creeped out early - beginning on the way to the farmlands after the farmer had talked about walking scarecrows. The true test is not how it reads but how it plays and this Chapter played flawlessly.

My players would not leave the house once they had gone out and met a recreation of the birds. They felt trapped in the house with no escape. It was a beautiful thing to behold.

Thanks so much for a wonderful adventure and AP.

I picked this book up on a day when I was exhausted and did not want to read anything heavy. It is a lot of fun. An easy read and reminds me of Burroughs Barsoom. I am sold on the whole Planet Stories line and thank Erik for his love of books and his work to bring us these out of print classics. I look forward to reading them all. Can't wait for the subscription to be available so I know I won't miss any.
