We ran two tables at our venue on Halloween. The atmosphere was great. We had one table where the players really got into it and their characters wanted to just get it done and get out of this terrible place.
About the secondary success condition; We did not hand out blank paper to the players and surprise no one took notes. The secret door was never found. In all all but one of the conditions were missed. Talking with the players afterwards there was a consensus that this scenario definitely was putting us all on notice to remember what pathfinders are supposed to do. The majority of the players felt they dropped the ball on this one as the handout did make it clear what they should have been doing.
It seemed like everyone had fun and I know as a GM I loved this scenario.
I'm curious as to how others are reacting to this new emphasis on explore and report. As well as how others are reacting to it.
