So I'm confused. The title says "Thrown of the King" and the in the picture it says "The King's Thrown". But the biggest question is did they mean to say "Throne"?
Hmmm. It's either an appalling use of grammer or an abysmal use of spelling. The proof-reading's lacking too.

I've never read it, but the same company has had 13 issues of a PDF magazine that include something (I think it's serial fiction) entitled "Coral Thrown."

In which case I apologise, it's just that on first sight it desn't seem to make any sense.

So... I bought this out of sheer curiosity.
It is an example treasure (quite a hoard) with examples of how each part of the treasure can provide hooks for further adventure. The ideas are fairly neat but you could probably get more ideas of the same quality by asking for advice on a decent RPG forum (like Paizo's).
The sentence construction and diction is pretty poor throughout and the art is very amateur (including the one page spread meant to be a game aid representing a painting by a great and famous artist).
The ideas are built around an appalling pun. I suspect that the odd title has been used to mask the punning ideas (the 'throne' in this case is a lavatory with an anachronistic pull-chain). However, to my mind it just comes across as an error, especially as the whole thing requires an editor.
Finally, if the main hook had been presented without the scatological humour then I might have been more willing to enjoy the other ideas.
I wouldn't recommend this.
