Overall very pleased with the set and extremely pleased with the way Mona is leading the Pathfinder Battles line.

I agree that Rusty Dragon Inn may be the best set yet; however, the case I just opened had the most damaged pieces of any case I've opened.
Two (of my 4) owlbears have broken claws, Cayden's sword is broken, Bugbear Mystic's staff is broken, though only one mini was separated from it's base. I'll be making extensive use of Wizkids's replacement system this time. Typically in a case I get one broken mini and one separated from it's base. Side note: I gently pried the quivering cube off it's base so that it could more properly engulf it's prey. Attempt this at your own risk.

This is also the first time I've not received every figure in a set. My cart was missing. I know that "Buyers who purchase factory-sealed cases should get a nearly complete set of figures. (As with any randomized product, collation is not guaranteed.)" I guess I have to pick up a single when the cart becomes available again.

Feiya was slightly better than the original and also has an exaggerated forward lean. Irovetti was acceptable, though he has extensive black eyeshadow around his newly stamped eyes.

There were 4 or 5 that got me excited for an encounter there. I didn't find it hard to vote for the rest of the 8 that I wanted to see more from.

I need to include a location like this in my home game. Great idea. This makes it hard to choose a favorite.

RPG Superstar 2012 Top 4 , Star Voter Season 7, Star Voter Season 9 aka MillerHero

Wow. Great idea, great map. Possibly a favorite.

Great idea for a map. One of the best. Please don't post anything during the voting period so that we can be sure you go as far as you can in the contest.

Nice choice for a map. I voted for it.

This has the potential to be really groovy. It received one of my votes.

This is perhaps my favorite map this year.
Great job.

This Clockworks has me anxious to write an encounter here.
You earned my vote.

I like the combination of above ground square rooms and below ground natural corridors.

This Blog post explains Paizo's take on darkness and light. It notes that darkness's ability to negate non magical sources of light does not work when daylight negates the darkness. Therefore casting daylight on your lit torch lets your torch always function.

According to this blog post darkness's ability to negate non magical sources of light does not work when daylight negates the darkness. Therefore these diagrams are not valid.

I voted for:
Smokemount Hold - excellent location; I would love to adventure/GM here; could use some more color and furniture
Lost Water Gardens of Jalmeray - beautiful map, fun location, nice elevation view
Elven Guardpost on the Tanglebriar Border - I've imagined locations like this before and this map does justice to those thoughts; good elevation view
Temple of Kabriri, The Pit, Sandpoint Hinterlands - intriguing room names, combats in these rooms would provide a good challenge; 3 ft wide catacombs could have been drawn a little wider
Shadde-Quah Shoanti Cliff Dwelling. Calphiak Mountains - great plan view and elevation/isometric view, I want to go explore the Cave of the Dripping Spirit; the three buildings part way up the cliff appear to be colored a little differently than the rest of map – not sure if that is good or bad.
Firebrand's Redoubt: Stronghold of Lady Delbera Axebringer - great functional shape, nice detail; more color is the only thing I see to improve this map.
Ancient Cyclops Stronghold in the Icerime Peaks - this is a sweet location, love the elevation indicators, ice and boulders terrain; rope bridge from -20 to -10 over a horizontal distance of 10 feet is a steeply inclined bridge; key markers for palisade could have been more distinct from the boulders
Treant's Crossing - great idea, good encounter locations; key text any smaller would be too difficult to read, enlarging the treant a little bit, would open up the encounter areas to a more manageable size

This feels like we're only getting half the map. More specifically, it feels like this should be the upper half of a full-page map, with the stronghold interior below.

Regarding the interior, I wonder if the 'stronghold' mentioned on the left side of the page with the spiral staircase down refers to the right side of the page with Guard Post, Barracks, and Alter functioning as the stronghold.

I don't know, but I love the map.

As Mikko and Neil said - keep your head down. I recommend Superstar forum silence during the voting period. Spend your time on other forums or working on your next submission.

Are you using spawn as a verb or a noun?

RPG Superstar 2012 Top 4 , Star Voter Season 7, Star Voter Season 9 aka MillerHero

It requires some set up sure, but this could be an interesting tactic. One party member casts summon monster III to summon 1d4+1 fire beetles and chooses them to appear in a line with the bad guy. Another party member tosses the fate-binder (or uses a readied action to throw when the targets appear in a line) at all 3-6 of the targets in the line. The third party member unleashes the save or suck spell on the bad guy and the 2-5 hapless beetles. Now the bad guy takes the lowest of 3-6 rolls before adding his own modifier. Beetles are toast, but who cares?

RPG Superstar 2012 Top 4 , Star Voter Season 7, Star Voter Season 9 aka MillerHero

Interesting item. I like the concept.
I do have a question.
You thread together 4 monsters in the 30 ft line. You cast a spell on monster 1 and monster 2. Do you take the lowest of two rolls or lowest of four rolls? What if anything happens to monster 3 and monster 4?

RPG Superstar 2012 Top 4 , Star Voter Season 7, Star Voter Season 9 aka MillerHero

Very interesting item, Scott. Nice work. I was immediately asking how big the hole could be then realized that you specified a maximum perimeter (circumference) of 3 feet.

  • A square could be up to 9 inches by 9 inches (9*4/12).
  • Owen suggested a 17 by 1/2 inch rectangle (still have 1 inch left to use if desired).
  • You are right, a circle will yield the greatest area given a set circumference. This item allows an 11-7/16 inch (0.95 feet) diameter circle.
    math:
    (c = 2πr = πd; where c = circumference, π = pi, r = radius, d = diameter)

Thank you.

I rarely assign GM credit to my PFS characters. I like to play them 3 times per level like most of my players play theirs. Though one time I did assign GM credit was to bump my 2nd level PC (5 XP) to 3rd (6 XP) so that he could join in a Thornkeep adventure. After 3 hours of play he would have been 4th (9 XP), so I decided to do slow track for 3rd level instead (7.5 XP). Three PFS scenarios later on slow track (1.5 XP) he reached 4th level. I played this character three times at 1st level, twice at 2nd, and four times at 3rd - average of playing three times per level maintained.

Correct me if I'm wrong - the last time I remember folks asking about the chronological order of scenarios, the answer was that numerical order is chronological order.
