I was under the impression the single author AP was penned by James Jacobs, and Dead Gods Hand will be a single adventure module (that ended up being about 90 pages longer than anticipated), did someone say magnum opus?

Oh I did enjoy drawing rifts all over my flipmat, I just hope if you do run it the first one doesn't fire off in the complete opposite direction from the PCs like mine did

I ran this last weekend (high tier), the PCs were completely thrown off having the Hesla encounter as early as it appears, I had set the scene as though they were about to go on an infiltration to steal from her.

Thankfully we had enough CP for the hazard to be involved in the combat, if it wasn't I think that encounter would have ended in less than 2 rounds. I did enjoy the Ember Spinnner reaction, the amount of times I was asked "how many times can she do this?" made me very happy as a GM.

Even with her stripped of the scythe she could still pack a mean punch; crit on a reactive strike

The NPCs really boost the ritual points with their +20 checks, it didn't seem a massive issue to get enough for the PCs to be the stars of the finale

The player described their "werebear" barbarian sprouting dragon wings and divebombing to strike square in the demons head, I may have fudged how much damage he took just so it didn't seem anti-climatic

My biggest gripe for the scenario was the second encounter, it just felt unnecessary, after dispatching the first wave and some others that appeared it just became a waiting game of watch the sky and you know more are coming, in the end I threw down every swarm token I had in my arsenal to cover the map before the kngihts and Rain came to start the finale scene

Overall, its good with a couple of minor rough spots

My watch begins(..and asked to be side-carted)

Oh ok… umm I can’t wait to run this one, that’s all I’m going to say

And my watch has ended

I look forward to rounding out this metaplot year with a bang

Fingers and toes crossed tomorrow will be my lucky day :)

Just waitin'

So my card has been charged, but my order still shows as pending. can someone at Paizo explain what happened?

In my experience it basically means your order will be shipped within next few hours

Still sitting here pending :-(

I will be surprised if I get my notification before Friday. Probably some time next week, if history repeats itself.

Does your order say waiting for backordered product/s as well?

Might be stuck on watch a little longer than expected here, just saw a waiting for backordered products note on my order

Since, as far as I can tell, this is the first time a "duplicate" book has been in the subscription for those of us who already bought the original (unlike the hardcovers of Abomination Vaults and Ruby Phoenix), is there a way to opt out other than canceling the subscription for the month?

Yup, just email customer service and ask to skip this product

Hey Maya, yeah the pdf file for the interactive maps for each volume of this AP just look rather blurry, I just checked and it’s the same in both versions of the download, single file and the per chapter one too. They aren’t as sharp and clean as other APs we’ve had before.

Another update! The team is sorry for uploading the low resolution files for this! They're working on updating this one and a few others that got the same. I'll post here when it's finished!

Thanks Maya! You’re a community champion!

I kinda want this to be a silent release now, one day a subscription order is generated and there it is

Thanks for letting me know! I will ask the team about this one, but it will have to wait until after PaizoCon. Is that ok? I want to set clear expectations with you!

Of course it’s ok, it’s a very busy time for you and the team, have a great PaizoCon!

Unsure if this has been mentioned but the interactive maps for this volume seem to be quite low quality, is there a chance to get better quality ones?

Hey Calcry! Can you let me know if you mean the maps in our PDF for this one? Just want to make sure I'm looking in the right place to get this rectified!

Oh yay my watch just ended, good luck everyone waiting

Do preorders get the PDF? Or is that only for subscriptions?

It's a subscription benefit

Still hoping and wishing for that Starfinder pocket subscription to appear ;-)

My watch has begun also :-D

Oh sweet, this sounds like a fun romp

Really excited to run this one for my local lodge, just have a question regarding the hexploration: if the party reconnoiters a hex with no encounter but it happens to be bordering another would it be fair to draw attention to that hex? (I mean all but a certain one of course)

Also the scaling adjustments for final part levels 9-10 seems to be incorrect, would it be the same adjustment as is in levels 7-8?

I do hope this will be part of a new pocket subscription for Starfinder *fingers crossed*

I do hope Starfinder might be following suit as well..

Oooooh now this is wonderful

It’s great to see pre-Remaster books still getting some love

My watch has ended and reading has begun

And now my watch begins

Love that cover!

Valeros looks far too happy to be attacking frogs

Happy Auth Day friends

Huzzah this is the one I’ve been waiting for

Anyone knows how much the PDF would be? Roughly 20$ or roughly 30$.

It might be in reach for me with a Coupon i won recently...

At a glance I’d say $19.99 has been the consistent price for Rulebook PDFs

This could be really interesting. Will there be an adventure path that will make use of this?

There was a mention in a Polygon article about this book that included an AP called Hellbreakers

Is this the first compilation that's been on the Adventure subscription?

I’m enjoying the cover art, nice way to blend the original 3 AP covers

Is this part of the Pathfinder Rulebooks Subscription? If so, when will they be charged?

It is not sadly, will need to purchase this separately

First Auth day of 2025 :-D

The boon for this one made me laugh; not sure how/when/where I’ll use it but sure I’ll take it

The class calls in the gauntlet challenges seem very arbitrary and not necessarily in theme with the challenge. I don't know if these are supposed to be pop culture references or something?

As per the recent changes in the GM guidelines, I guess we are allowed to be lenient with regards to those (it won't increase the difficulty!) to make it more reasonable: Replacing Ranger by "Wilderness themed character" for example, Bard by "Performance themed character", etc. I suppose I'd make the choice based on a Background or a Class/ sub-class/ Dedication.

Any feedback from the Organized Play team would be appreciated.

I guess we could also use minimum expert proficiency in the specific skill could unlock the alternate option?

I'm reading to prep this one & I've noticed in part C1 there's a Survival check with no DC given; are we expecting DC 23 for 7-8 and 26 for 9-10 as per level based DCs?

I don't remember what the original name was :P

The Legend of Powers? :-P

I've enjoyed how each background is linked to a legendary elven figure, quite an aspiration for an AP going up to level 20

Ooooh if my PCs are able to construct a new aiudara in this AP I am going to be very happy

Also, thank you James for bringing her back, you should've seen the smile on my face when I saw her art :-D

From the office of expectation management:

** spoiler omitted **

But also, it's a delight hearing how positive Shalelu's presence is being taken! She's one of my favoritest NPCs I created, all the way back in "Burnt Offerings," and she's not even based on a previous PC I played! :-P

Thanks for clarifying, I got a bit excited reading the Portal Scholar background clearly.

Just well written and a plain old likeable elf
