I always get the vibe that the Pathfinder Chronicles are a kind of stuffy scholarly thing and that that Pathfinders are themselves sort of stuffy and scholarly.

I like to imagine them, though, as similar in tone to the lurid midcentury men's adventure magazines ("Weasels Ripped My Flesh!") crossed with similarly-themed Fortean publications of the same era ("Dark Magic Of The Desert Tombs Revealed: Does This Clock Count Down To Apocalypse?").

Are the Chronicles written to educate ("A Numeration of the Species of Darkland Bat And Their Diets") or titillate ("I Narrowly Escaped A Drow Orgy!")? I feel as though Pathfinder has a kitschy, pulpy foundation, so I want it to be a little of both.

Are there any pulpy Pathfinders, or do they leave that sort of untoward behavior to the "adventurers"?

So when you sell an account, do you just give the user/pass to the buyer or use GW customer service to transfer the assets to another GW account?

Like many DMs, I like putting together soundtracks for adventures. Does anyone know any great music that would fit the Serpent's Skull AP?

I figure I'm looking for some African drum music to start with, and the soundtrack to the video game Eternal Darkness has some awesome "sneaking around in forbidden temple" music, but that's about all I can think of...

You can probably mine some great tunes from old Exotica records by Les Baxter and Martin Denny. It's polynesian-influenced, not African, but tracks like "Quiet Village" can set a tone of subtle menace.
