My regular group had a member down for two weeks so we switched to this freerpgday adventure to fill the gap and had a blast! The group had limited experience with second edition but after playing this oneshot they want more. We completed the adventure in two 2.5 hour sessions.
Eleanor Ferron's adventure gets going quick with a cool twist on a standard dungeon crawl, bringing the danger into the domestic with the kobold party exploring an Absalom cellar. I encouraged the players to ham up their kobold wonder with the 'treasures' in the room, playing the Hookclaws as insular and new to this world of Absalom suburban basements worked well for our group. I shared the (handily spoiler-free) adventure background with them ahead of our first session which helped set the tone, and advised them it would be more of a saturday morning cartoons vibe than grimdark meatgrinder.
Highlights included Camilla's creepy tea party set up, Madame Trunchsnuffle raging out on the characters, and reading them the background on the fungus leshy which they greatly enjoyed. I'd say the second half is a bit weaker than the first and I was concerned the group wouldn't blindly follow Granny's request to retrieve her garden tool but a homebrewed incentive of a rival kobold tribe (the Sewer Dragons mentioned in the background) already set off to win the prized hedge trimmer helped seal the deal.
A final shout out to the pregens, who are all brilliantly flavourful and who have excellent artwork to boot. Some of my players ended up making their own kobolds but it was great to have those on hand for players who didn't have time for character creation.
If you're after an intro to pathfinder2e I think this is the best option available at the minute, hitting the sweetspot for intro length between Torment & Legacy and Fall of Plaguestone.
