What happens if the players refuse Pakano's wrestling duel when they discover the spear at the river? It seems like it would be too easy to just let them have it, but not sure what Pakano could do other than outright attacking them.

Pakano is happy with his dominance and over the party, and his sweet new spear. There's no characteristic reason for him to attack if the party fails to challenge him.

The PCs will miss out on their first enhanced weapon. Let them do what they want to do, but if you want to encourage them to wrastle for it you can really play up how fancy the spear appears to be to entice them. Maybe even give them a chance to identify it as a +1 before the challenge.

But what if the players take the spear first? The adventure describes that Pakano will also challenge them to a wrestling duel in that case, but there really does not seem to be any reason for players to agree to that.

Please give us a better version of the maps in the interactive maps pdf. The current quality just feels like an insult to anyone actually planning on using them.

What system are you using, please?

I am using Foundry.

Thanks. Our PDFs are intentionally set under commercial print resolution. The PDFs are designed as a digital reference document, not for VTT play. But that is the way they have come to be used and we are working to provide better digital solutions with our partners. We are working with Foundry to produce a solution for those users. No timeline to announce yet.

Thanks for the reply. The irony to me is that I never really care about map quality in print, because I only use the print maps as a reference and I will draw the map on a flip-map for in-person play. Whereas for VTT I strongly care about the map quality because it directly influences the experience.

I'd just like to say that I screen-capped maps from the AP and the Interactive Maps and stretched them on Roll20 with no issues. I use Sumatra for my PDF viewing, not a browser.

They are good enough to be usable, yes. But compared to other maps such as those from SoT(or especially 3rd party), they look really bad. E.g. the 6-map spread on page 3 of the Broken Tusk Moon interactive PDF is 1194x1592 pixels whereas the 4-map spread on page 4 of the Kindled Magic interactive PDF is 2475x3300 pixels.

Would've been nice if there would've been a tier with the CRB, Bestiary and World Guide but without the physical beginner box. Just the shipping cost of the beginner box to Germany is almost es expensive as just buying the beginner box from a local store.

Awesome news! This gives me hope for the future of the TTRPG industry.
