What Ho All,
I just wanted to take a moment to let everyone know the fantabulous news that Retribution is now available as a PDF download from the Paizo store or in print from Amazon UK and Amazon US. Retribution has also picked up a great review by Ed Greenwood, creator of the Forgotten Realms! Here’s what Ed had to say:
“A fantasy roleplaying campaign can always use spooky, atmospheric low-level adventures, and RETRIBUTION is a solid, useful foray. It's "old school" in the best sense of that term: the adventure, its setting, its characters, and its new elements have all been carefully and lovingly detailed and thought through. The result is truly ready-to-use, and its elements lend themselves to easy re-use in an ongoing campaign. Recommended.”
To celebrate the release of Retribution, Raging Swan Press has released The Lonely Coast, a free 30-page PDF. The Lonely Coast is the default setting for Retribution and a great locale to set a new low-level campaign. The fully bookmarked PDF is available both Paizo and our own website. Download it and let us know what you think!
About The Lonely Coast
A Pathfinder Roleplaying Game adventure locale by Creighton Broadhurst suitable for PCs level 1-5
The furthest flung outpost of a mighty kingdom, turbulent waters and forbidding, trackless forests separate the folk of the Lonely Coast from the gaudy lights of civilisation. Pirates and slavers ply the southern storm-tossed waters while goblins and other foul things creep through the gloom of the Tangled Wood that seemingly chokes the forgotten holds and sacred places of the Old People. Deep within the forest, a narrow, rock-choked defile piled deep with shadow cuts through a nameless range of rugged, tree-shrouded hills birthing dark, fearsome legends of terrifying monsters and glittering, doom-laden treasures. The perils of the Lonely Coast are legion and thus there is always a need for those with stout hearts and skill with blade and spell or for those merely hungry for glory to defend humanity’s most tenuous enclave.
About Retribution
A Pathfinder Roleplaying Game adventure by Creighton Broadhurst for four 1st-level PCs
In the frozen depths of winter, murderous winds mercilessly batter the crumbling Priory of Cymer. Within, trapped by their duty and the heaped snowdrifts that render travel near impossible, the few remaining faithful huddle together and tend the sacred places of their forbears. With the weather worsening, nerves fray and tempers snap as the wind howls its mournful dirge for the forgotten dead of a fallen time. But the worst is yet to come. One of those trapped within holds a murderous grudge that only blood can expunge, and as the storm reaches its savage height, terrible revenge is wrought amid the frigid halls and faded glories of a bygone age.

There's a very good chance I'll run the adventure as an interlude during the travel between the Fogscar Mountains and Sandpoint in my current Rise of the Runelords campaign, substituting the location with Windsong Abbey and doing some other minor adaptations.
The rather large group of characters (8 of them) are gonna need every extra ounce of XPs I'll throw at them, and the presence of a troubled paladin PC and some troublesome NPCs protegés should ensure some extra fun. Mine is an evil laugh.

Eight PCs is a pretty large group; you might need to augment some of the encounters. As luck would have it, I'm working on a Scaling the Adventure web enhancement that should help do that quickly.
I think a troubled paladin is going to have a field-day in the priory.
