Been looking forward to this one for awhile now.

So, get a review written...STAT! ;-)

You should have what level characters this is written for in the beginning of the description.

Does anyone else's full-color PDF seem to have a rather pixelated cover page?

Mine looks fine. Maybe try reDLing it.

Tried redownloading. Still pixelated.

I'm beginning to think today is just not my day.

Seconded. I'd like to know this as well.

Sorry for the lack of clarity - both "The Murmuring Fountain" and "The Fiddler's Lament" are for 1st-2nd level characters. The blurb I wrote says "characters beginning a gothic-themed Adventure Path campaign," which I think was an overly cute phrasing that I meant to imply beginning-level characters--i.e., 1st or 2nd. I can email Liz and ask her to add a sentence to that effect to the product description, and I'll be sure to call it out specifically in future adventure releases.

Thanks for the feedback!

P.S. As far as the pixelation, the ones I have look fine, so I'm not sure what the issue is there. :(

Odd, what PDF program do you use? I use PDF-Xchange, I also checked and opened mine in Adobe and it was fine in that as well.

I use Adobe Reader X mainly, but I also opened it in Adobe Acrobat 9.5.1, and it had the same pixelization. Same with Foxit.

It's not really bad enough to make it unusable, but it annoys me. :P

Just for reference:

Print-Friendly Cover

Full Color Cover

Ok that is really weird. I checked your two links and the first one looks fine to me but the second one is messed up, enough the print in the lower left corner is hard to read in it.

Super curious, but I have to take a pass on this one, were halfway through the second book.

Glad to see the tap is flowing again.

Would work just fine with later books, just would have to upgrade the CR's is all.

I'd agree with Dark_Mistress here. Without spoilering the adventure too much, the orphan-gypsy who is the lynchpin of the adventure could easily appear in any town in Ustalav, and the primary menaces that torment the town at her command could be easily swapped for more menacing equivalents straight out of the Bestiary without complicating or compromising the plot integrity of the adventure.

I should also point out that "The Murmuring Fountain" already includes some scaling suggestions for using it past the initial level, though overall it might be more hard-coded as a low-level adventure than "The Fiddler's Lament."

IMHO, both those stories are heavy role playing/investigation type adventures and can be played at any time in Harrowstone.

I've posted elsewhere about player reaction to the first session using Fidler's. The guys are quite intrigued about what is going on. It was funny the way they reacted. Hey, wht the heck, weren't we suppose to go back to the prison this morning?

And reviewed here, on DTRPG and sent to GMS magazine. Cheers!

Nice review End, btw did you find a cute goth girl to make out with at that goth event you went to? :)

There was some making out, indeed! Though admittedly with the goth lady that accompanied me there - not for lack of interest in my person, though. I don't know why, but verbal fights between laced-in, beautiful females are perhaps one of the most alluring things in existence for me. :D

I have decide to run a parallel story with Alhindriosa. The party will take her to Lepidstadt (sp) in part two, at the request of the town council so she can get treatment. On the way there, she will get a night visit by the dark stranger. The PC's will be warned to stay away from her or else......

She will, of course, regularly escape and cross the party's path. The stranger will send minions to eliminate those pesky adventurers.

It appears the stranger would be a devil of some sort (don't really want to use Orcus.... but a demon could be used.....)

What are your ideas abaout this?

Half-fiend night hag.

Sounds chaotic enough! ;-)

Good to know, but did your goth lady find a pretty goth girl to make out with... and let you watch? :D

Back to the product. I really liked this one for the atmosphere, me personally I would want to keep the fiddle. :)

@Gondolin - Nice add on to this, to make it go further.

They had a heck of a time getting rid of it. They ganged up on her and pinned her to the ground and the barbarian raged, grabbed the fiddle and smashed it on a tombstone. Très The Who.... lol
