So I'm a bit confused by this product. I bought it because it looks like it is a novel, but when reading it, it looks like it's mostly just the blog posts and a little more context around them?

Is this just $5 for what is basically a collection of blog posts, or will this download also include a novel being published later?

This was a thoroughly enjoyable and (from a player's perspective at least), well written adventure. The rooms and exploration had so much detail and flavor, the encounters were interesting and varied, and the combats had interesting characters and mechanics. Tons of fun and sets a high bar, looking forward to more adventures like this.

I just played this scenario at level 3-4 range on a bard.

The flavor and narrative was fun and enjoyable. The story is well crafted, and the storybeats keep it interesting. Creating a seafaring adventure/mystery and keeping it interesting throughout is difficult to do well, and I think this adventure succeeded on all points there. I _loved_ the detail for the hounds and the room shape requirements, I look forward to hearing about someone's creativity for taking advantage of that.

Despite purchasing as a part of the whole season, this scenario is a skip from me for GMing for PFS (where the scenario must be run as printed) unless/until its significantly reworked.
Captain Fidero's DCs are too difficult for the level range for the influence encounter, it seems like as configured it is in the 3-6 or 5-8 level range for most of the DCs. Some of the other DCs also seem to be too high for this level of play, especially with how critical they are for succeeding.

Definitely agree with the points that Stormwarden has pointed out that need to be addressed.
