A Last Baron infiltration adventure for 5th-level characters.
After years of neutrality, the honeyed tongues and diabolical gifts of devil-worshiping ambassadors from Cheliax have finally convinced Baron Vendikon of Andoran to pledge his allegiance to the enemy. Now, as the baron’s conflicted subjects hastily fortify his position and a reluctant Andoren general marches on the tiny town of Piren’s Bluff, a few brave souls must infiltrate the tyrant’s stronghold and put an end to his treason before one man’s arrogance costs hundreds of innocent lives.
Tower of the Last Baron is compatible with the world’s most popular roleplaying game. Within you’ll find information on the lively and strategically important town of Piren’s Bluff, Baron Vendikon’s keep, and the strange beasts and loyal minions that aid the turncoat noble, as well as notes governing the town’s many spies and dissidents.
This adventure, written by fan favorite Stephen S. Greer, is set on the border between two nations in the Pathfinder Chronicles campaign setting, but can easily be set in any game world. It can be used on its own or combined with its sequel, Treasure of Chimera Cove, to create an even greater campaign arc.

I ran this module for our group and we had fun. The party were not into much sneaking around. They were more into confrontational interaction. However, the intrigue was there regardless. The party that finished this was without a Cleric, but didn't really need one. The recognition signal was well thought out and very inobtrusively placed. I highly recommend this module and the sequel to it. Both are outstanding variations from the typical "Hack-and-slash" modules. Well done Mr. Greer.
Perhaps my favorite Pathfinder module so far. Lots of emphasis on social interaction, investigation and sneaking around, which is a very welcome change from the combatfests most modules tend to be. Don't get me wrong, a good combat can be fun... but it can get old, too. This one looks like a great, open-ended sandbox to drop players into and see what they do. I also liked the fact that the players have a mission which relates to local politics, instead of the tired old "save the world from ancient evil" thing or some such.
Good stuff.
I really enjoyed reading this adventure, especially since the party has a goal to help save the republic of Andoran from the machinations of the baron and the Cheliaxians. Good party motivation!
I LOVED all the information given for the town and the different people who live there. There are many opportunities that can either help or hinder the party while on their quest like discovering Andoran agents, avoiding the barony spies, dodging patrols, finding the secret tunnel, dealing with the deadly alchemist, all good stuff.
The adversaries in the castle are varied and interesting, ranging from the baron's spies and conventional soldiers to the "gifts" from Cheliax. The Crepitus rocks!
My only gripes are some of the weak artwork and I wish there were more post-adventure details like in Conquest of Bloodsworn Vale. Perhaps Chimera Cove will cover this but I wish to see what else happens around the new Piren's Bluff.

Outside of Crucible of Chaos, I found this to be the module in recent times. It is very open ended with a lot of room for flexibility. The adventure is also quite sensible and does not drag at all- so much of what happens depends on PC interactions and choices. Excellent effort; awesome cover art too!

This module and its sequel do sound very interesting.
What sets them apart so much from the rest of the Pathfinder modules to warrant a specific tag (i.e. LB1 and LB2), though?
How many modules in the series?

Nothing sets them apart other than the fact that they're directly related. I expect that, had they known where the series would have gone, they would have named D1 and D1.5 KK1 and 2 (for Kobold King). These are sort of an experiment to see what the market is for module series, so buy the second one and show them that we love 'em. There are two modules in the series.
