I was enterntained and had a good time while playing this scenario. However I got increasingly more frustrated and uninterested as it became apparent that our choice of actions and our skills had no real bearing on the progression of events in the scenario.

Many OP scenarios railroad players through a predetermined set of events/encounters, but at least have a sense of purpose and manage to give players an illusion of being able to choose which course of action is take.

The randomness of The Asmodeus Mirage takes even that away and made me loose all sense of selfdetermination. The scenario absolutely succeeds at making me feel lost as in wandering through endless dunes, but more in a frustrating way than in a wanderous desert exploration way.

We had fun however the faction missions where well thought out.

This adventure is NOT for the faint of heart, but I actually consider this one to be one of the better PFS Scenarios. Why? Because the atmosphere, if adequately evoked, is unique, has a surreal touch and is just plain fun. I ran this as a part of my home campaign with slightly modified motivations (each PC got a faction mission from one of his acquaintances) and had a blast running it. My players also loved the utter "strangeness" of the mirage. It's not perfect balance-wise, but the flavor and feeling is unique.

This is a good mod but fails miserably because it is a 1 rounder that should be a 2 rounder. The scenario doesn't let the party rest. After 8 hours and 6 or 7 combats later it was finally over. I can honestly say most people were just glad it was over. I don't think it is really the authors fault. I think it is more Paizos fault. They should have made this 2 rounds. I think if the encounter were cut back to 3 or 4 I would have actually enjoyed this mod a lot but If you go into this mod thinking its one round you are going to be disappointed.

I wish to add my input to Chad's. I played at the same table and we were expecting a blood bath. We prepared accordingly. We spoke to everyone who didn't immediately try to bash us to paste (and we were surprised to find such denizens weren't all that rare), used our strengths to counter or neutralize those of our enemies, and found good success on this adventure. I wish to reiterate that we ONLY found good success BECAUSE we prepared and used our collective experience as players. This is NOT a suitable mod for the inexperienced. A poor table mix could cause problems as well. Play, but play with caution.

Most of the Pathfinder Society scenarios I've played to date have not needed extraordinary measures to complete. Having been warned of its difficulty, our group listened to the material, took appropriate precautions, and used coherent tactics. We did very well at the highest tier (at a table with 2 bards no less). This will be difficult for pick-up style convention games with players that are unfamiliar with each other.
