This special was interesting to run. It had alot of good elements, the players that were familiar with Tian Xia loved the lore and the creatures from Tian Xia. I felt that the different elements of battle were cool and unique but the last part, I felt, had to be really portrayed a certain way or the players just ignore the creatures and try to touch the creature at end. As well, if you don't have a balanced group, the end fight could and probably would be mean.

I played this special last night at my local game night. I thought it was fairly amazing story wise. It got a little tedious near the end, especially during the last encounter when-to the best of my knowledge-you had to ,as a group including every table in the room, defeat a certain amount of enemies before moving on. Aside from that and the final roll which seemed a little ridiculous to me, it was a lot of fun.

I have played this at subtier 10-11, I have not read nor GMed it.

I found the fights fun, challenging and exciting and just on the verge of overwhelming, perfect for a special.

I thought it went too fast to get in any good RPing and with rewards based on which table completed things the fastest we were basically hopeless to get anything special at our tier due to high level combats just taking longer.

The story as presented didn't quite make sense, the stage combat encounter was a poor choice to include in such a time pressured events but the combats themselves were fun and exciting.

Overall I think it would have made a adventure but there didn't seem to be any compelling reason for the multitable chaos. Also, even with trying to rush through things there were still way too many encounters for a 4hr slot.

I would give this a 2.5 stars if there was an option. I ran this a few times at small conventions, and I have to say, there were some really cool things (the final 2 battle), and really lame things, in this scenario. Being the PFSpecial, when this gets run, it will be a big deal, and should get as much focus as it can. However, there is no way this scenario can run in the allotted time slot. Both times, I ran this, it went way over. It seems too much was added to this to make it fit in a standard time slot.

At times, coordination between the overseer GM & table GMs (me and probably others) didn't go smoothly, as there is a part that is confusing on when the overseer takes over.

The sewers were cool, the bar brawl was neat (unless you were a player who died in it). The guardian was fun, and players were very creative in the solution.

At one point, a player made a comment about the stuff that their table doing meaning anything, which seemed like a bit of a downer. The final roll seemed a bit silly to me.
