I'll be happy to take a look at the revised version as well and update my review accordingly - sugar-coating, though, won't happen there either. •lol•</p>
<p>With regards to the icons - I don't object to the idea, but I don't like how they feel like they are out of place in the overall layout.</p>
<p>My main gripes were the fluctuating quality in writing, the lack of a final boss, the reward that is out of all proportions for the level and finally, that statblocks and other crunchy bits don't adhere to the standard format used in PFRPG-publications.</p>
<p>Edit: And the steal angle works MUCH better at higher levels, when you can take something from the PCs they rightfully earned...</p>
<p>Generally, I see A LOT of potential here and I really hope you guys can tap into it.</p>You're welcome! I'll be happy to take a look at the revised version as well and update my review accordingly - sugar-coating, though, won't happen there either. *lol*

Originally this was all planned for website access only, and grew into PDF's. I'll have to bring this up and see where their thinking is on it, it is definitely something I think we can look into easily enough, and I thank you for bringing it up.
<p>In the end, you might want to consider looking into the website and the subscription service they offer, as it would be a much better value cost wise if you are looking at possibly purchasing everything in the AaW catalog :)</p>
<p>Am glad you are liking what you're seeing, and am thrilled that the Hero Lab files are helpful. I'm determined that every adventure will have Hero Lab support, as I run everything through mine, and know how useful it is as a tool for the GM.</p>PathfinderFan64 wrote:Your adventures all look great but you need to also include a printer friendly version.

I would never have approached you about a review if I had wanted a sugar coated review.</p>
<p>Ah, if only this had been tomorrow, I just uploaded the revised version of this PDF to Jonathan not even a few hours ago, lol. Some new art, the stat block index, a few minor layout changes (including the icons shrinking drastically, as well as the colored boxes dropping to an 80% transparency). We're getting mixed opinions on the icons, some folks love them, obviously, you are not so much a fan, fair enough. </p>
<p>Knowing the need for player maps Todd has been working on getting us player maps for the module coming out later this week to support our GM maps, and I want to say that player maps are being looked at retroactively throughout the PDF's...but I will state that that's an "I want to say" I am not sure.</p>
<p>I do appreciate the feedback though, as all feedback helps the process</p>
<p>And, for clarification...for anyone reading these. I won't be posting anymore reviews for AdventureaWeek.com as I am building these PDF's for them now, and that kind of makes me biased, lol. The review that is here of mine was written a while ago for their store site, and I copied and pasted it here without thinking of how that might come across.</p>Thank You for the review Endzeitgeist...as usual you are to the point, lol.

Thank you very much for all the great feedback! I must give a massive serving of credit to our all around jack of all trades and HERO LAB/PDF guru: KTFish of House Gullion! He truly is a genius and has assisted us in integrating HERO LAB into Adventureaweek.com! </p>
<p>I have been talking with John Ryan over at HERO LAB for the past couple months. He is a great guy and we're sure to feature more HERO LAB content on the site and in upcoming downloads. I now use the program almost as much as Photoshop (which is saying a lot, I'm a PS addict!)</p>
<p>I have also spoken with our ENnie award winning cartographer Todd Gamble about providing the maps in a format that will work better for GMs. </p>
<p>Our ultimate goal is to feature the best website on the net FOR GMs with everything you could possibly need to run a game. We want to make it easier for you to provide the absolute best experience for your players. Why waste time digging through books and modules when you could be playing!? That's why we decided to build this website in the first place! </p>

One question though.

<p>Any plans to layer your maps so that those details don't come across on a copy-paste?</blockquote><p>I'll talk with our cartographer (Todd Gamble) to see what his thoughts are on this, as it would make sense to give a player's map for usage in virtual map programs and for handouts. Thanks for the suggestion.
<p>-edit- just fired off an email to Todd & Jonathan to bring the question of the maps to their attention. As soon as I know something, I'll post back here.</p>

We too love the little icons on each page. All of our ideas were implemented to make a GM's life easier. I run games myself and wanted to leave the huge hiking pack of books at home and run games with my iPad and a bag of dice (I must have real dice!) </p>
<p>I like to be mobile and keep my games moving. Anytime we stop to look something up in a book wastes precious time at the gaming table. Everything we have implemented in our PDFs and on our website is designed from a GM's perspective with the artistic genius and skills of 3x ENnie Award Winning artist Todd Gamble. </p>
<p>Todd worked on the Forgotten Realms maps, D&D 3.5 Core books, as well as hundreds of other products. He also has a site mapaweek.com where you can get quality RPG maps every week as well as access to the archives.</p>
<p>Right now we're offering a FREE TRIAL on adventureaweek.com so hop over there and register! You'll get access to a few different areas, an adventure, a free PDF download, the forum, blog, and more! Please remember to tell your friends about us and join in the discussion. We are building worlds together! </p>
<p>We also take adventure submissions like the old school Dragon Magazine!
