In a darkened chamber deep below the sunlit world, a diabolical dark elf priestess weaves rhymes of magic over an ancient portal arch. What foul entity answers her summons, and what will happen when it emerges into the world of man? A Compleat Encounter, scalable to any level, featuring a dark elf priestess, a summoning arch, and an otherworldly monstrosity.

Paizo Publishing's GameMastery™ Line is designed to help GMs run interesting games quickly and efficiently.
Compleat Encounters provide everything you need to run a single encounter:
3 brilliantly sculpted, high-quality, 25mm-scale one-piece metal miniatures
The miniatures are worth the purchase alone, although the adventure is interesting. Orienting the tiles requires a little thinking, but thinking is part of this game!
Paizo's own products are I think among the most inventive of the hobby in terms of quality and actual use value in a game.
For instance, in the Game Mastery line, you have the Item Packs which provide you with good looking, practical cards to hand out to your players during the game, thus enhancing the visual and material appeal of the session while increasing the overall organization of equipment and magical items.
The Dark Elf Sanctum and all the Compleat Encounters follow this same logic: these are made to be used. The short adventure/few encounters included here are scalable to any character levels. The text is clear and uses ideas that are easily dropped in any homebrew campaign.
The miniatures are absolutely awesome. I loved the horned demon so much I use the miniature for my own character when I play the game. The sculpt is gorgeous, the bases are large and well textured, part of the miniature, which changes from the crappy plastic bases so usual these days.
A plan to assemble the four tiles of the battlemap would have been appreciated, but this is really a nitpicking, to be frank. Plus, it in fact has been taken care of in later Compleat Encounters.
Really amazingly cool for such a low price. Great.
