I got at least one of every mini. Dungeon dressing was two per brick for a total of eight pieces. I got two candles and pillars (one of the rest). </p>
<p>1, 3, 4, 6, 13, 14, 16, 26, 27 and 31. 4 copies of each mini.
<br />
2, 5 and 10. 5 copies.
<br />
7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 17, 19-23, 25, and 28-30. 3 copies.
<br />
15, 18, 24 and 32. 2 copies.
<br />
Rest of minis only 1 copy. </p>
<p>Initial impressions: I really like the set and the vermin for swarms. Yes, the rope trick does look neat. Favorite would be pit demon and fire diabolist. Close is the gynosphinx. Would like next set to continue dungeon dressing and have more minis for player characters. Especially for newly allowed PFS player races.</p><p><b>Pathfinder Battles—Deadly Foes</b></p><p>Got my case today. I got at least one of every mini.

It railroads the PC's down the path with little chance for variation. It gets worse with a large table as the nature of the scenario and the fact they split up to various locations means that for long periods of time, most of the players are just twiddling their thumbs as I gm an encounter with one or two PC's. These facts ended up leading to tremendous frustration at my table. So much so that one player's outburst was so loud that it silenced the entire store (there was over 50 people in the store at the time). It lead to one player telling another player that he would never sign up for another table with that player present.</p>
<p>I was very prepared for this scenario and spent a lot of time prepping it. Ive never had a player outburst at my table before and pride myself on working well with my players. This scenario is just bad and worse with larger tables. The PC's ended up doing well in the scenario as they had a couple skill monkeys.</p>
<p>I cannot recommend this scenario.</p><p><b>Pathfinder Society Scenario #5–22: Scars of the Third Crusade (PFRPG) PDF</b></p><p>This scenario is bad to begin with.

Granted the faction missions have been removed but half my table was new to PFS. Even with taking some generous amounts of time go over some basics and help along the new players, the scenario ran smoothly and everyone had a good time. Its just me but I really get into scenarios with goblins and Ekkie is my girl :)</p><p><b>Pathfinder Society Scenario #4–01: Rise of the Goblin Guild (PFRPG) PDF</b></p><p>Just gm'd this scenario for my first star and I love it.

Pair that with the racial boon I have and Ive been waiting months for this book. Unfortunately, this book is more in line with Blood of Night than Blood of Moon. Yes, there is tremendous flavor here but there is little meat on the bone. I was really hoping for something more than this book.</p><p><b>Pathfinder Player Companion: Blood of the Elements (PFRPG)</b></p><p>After Blood of Moon, I was hopeful that this book would be worthwhile.

The organization of the book is outstanding as is the added background. I really liked the insert of "dealing with haunts" as they come up on various PFS scenarios and new players always ask for information on how to properly deal with the haunt. I will update this review once Ive had a chance to go through the new magic items, spells, archetypes in more detail. But its looking pretty good so far.</p><p><b>Pathfinder Player Companion: Undead Slayer’s Handbook (PFRPG)</b></p><p>This is a niche book that has limited applicability but if your scenario or adventure calls for combating undead then its essential.
