    FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar Good start to the series

    I felt like we had some options and some time sensitive decisions to make. The combats felt appropriate (tier 1-2). If this is the typical quality of PFS I'll certainly keep playing it.

    This PFS contains a straight forward mission and is easy to run. You have to work hard to present a few RP opportunities. It seemed a little shy of a fully dynamic adventure that includes thinking puzzles and Roleplay, but jumps from battle to battle. It was still enjoyable and makes use of some fun maps.

    This is the longest and toughest scenario I've played in (though in my opinion not quite as tough as Murder on the Silken Caravan, which I GM'd). It took about six hours of play ("home" game via FG2), mostly due to faction missions that seemed to require interrogations of a LOT of NPCs. That being said, the six acts were all interesting and most were challenging in a good way, with plenty of "uh-oh" moments both in and out of character. The faction missions were very well designed and provided for some fun incidents. Looking forward to playing in part 2 next week!

    The first thing I'd tell you about PFS games is stay in your level. This holds ever so true for Shipyard Rats. The combats are challenging and in dynamic locations. For the players it is also sprinkled with a few interesting role playing opportunities. I would highly recomend this for beginning players.

    FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar Good (but tough)

    Context: I GM'ed this module at Gencon 2009 seven times.

    The good: This adventure's settings are very thematic and evocative. Combats are tactically interesting. The encounters provide plenty of chances for various character classes to shine. A steal for the price. Makes great use of Flip-Mats.

    The bad: Minor mechanical snafus (NPCs with PC levels do not have their hit points computed per the PFRPG core rules; a missing spell or ability in a few spots). Needs an RP encounter.

    Spoiler:

    Though not an issue with this mod per se, but imo channel negative energy is way too deadly in a BBEG vs. party situation. There is a level 3 cleric that can channel 2D6 dmg six(!) times with an action that doesn't provoke AoOs. I'd drop a few of the clerics down by a level or two, especially the final encounter at tier 5-7.

    Thanks for the review, Aaron. I may be running both parts at an upcoming con and want to make sure the mods are "balanced" towards Cheliax...I MEAN, for PLAYER FUN. That's right.... ^_^

    Joe, this one was fun. I had a great time GMing this at GenCon, Though I did have one TPK, it was mostly due to bad luck on the PC side, Though there is one section that can be bad if the GM rolls well.

    This product is a pdf? I saw the printed version at Gencon with the nice maps for inn and ship. Where can I purchase that?

    It is PDF only, If you saw the Adventure printed it was done by the GM, The maps though are a seperate product by Paizo that they make called Flip-Mats, They used 2 of them for this Scenerio.

    The 2 used where
