Wait a sec, do you have the PDF for part 2?Subscribers, as part of their subscription, get access to the PDF when their subscription shipment goes out. This occurs prior to the street date indicated in the product above.
Yup. As a subscriber I just wanted to know if they started rolling out yet. My group is almost done with the first one.
The paper model from Worldworks (the Maiden) is best I've found that's affordable, but it looks like a small nightmare to put together, and costly to print out.That's the one Rob uses in our office game. Whatever it cost, both in money and time, was well worth it from a player's perspective. The model does wonders in increasing the immersion in the environment and helping with tactical situations involving the masts and various decks.
Is it better to use this model for the Wormwood in the first adventure or will it see more use as the Man's Promise for the rest of the campaign?

Well, looking over the model instructions, it actually can be customized, and walls and interior stuff can be swapped out. So it'll work for both...
I can't speak for the art, but I wasn't familiar with B. Jenet, so any backstory similarity is coincidental.Is the similarity of Lady Smythee and B. Jenet from King of Fighters intentional? Because I found myself laughing pretty hard when I saw her picture.
EDIT: Even their backstories are similar. This has to be intentional.
It was pretty funny for me because I'd run across her image a lot during searches to find pirate imagery for my Skulls and Shackles tumblr. Jenet's supposed to be a noble who got bored doing noble things and went out to steal things, and Lady Smythee is a noble who married a pirate (it's vague). It's just like, I flipped the page, and she looks, well...
Just thought it was funny.
Also, this adventure does a great job writing from a neutral standpoint, and I liked the random encounters not being all random. S&S is better and better.
Can't wait to see how this one is handled now that the characters have a ship and after reading how dangerous these islands can be.
Good I like "sandboxy".
Thank You Paizo for bringing back the Seacat!!
Thank you for doing a tentative Gazetteer of the Oceans!!! (Please do more)
And as always still hope to see Racial Stats for Aquatic Elves :-)
Brine
MALENTI!!
After reading the "Oceans of Golarion" article I can't help but see a similarity in the budding rise of a Sahuagin Empire and that of the Serpent Folk Empire.
The Serpent Folk are a race prone to mutation, rose to rule large portions of Golarion,and were finally set low by the rise of Azlant.
The Sahuagin are a race prone to mutation, are slowly rising to rule over large portions of Golarion, and may one day have to contend with the rise of Suken Azlant (in the form of a consolidated Gillmen Empire aka the true heirs of Azlant.)
Also the rise of Azlant above the waves birthed a god (Aroden), and whose to say that in 10,000 years with the rise of Suken Azlant we wouldn't see a rebirth of that very same god.
On that same line of thought, whose to say that Suken Azlant wont suffer a similar fate as Azlant, but instead of sent crashing to the ocean floor, Suken Azlant is thrust once more above the waves.
Then again all of this wouldn't take place for about 10 to 20 thousand years so, it's just something fun to think about.
I got this one and it is great. My only complaint is the picture of the Matron on page 44. Why does a female sahaugin have breasts? It's completely clear that Sahaugin reproduce like fish and they don't breast feed. There just isn't a good reason for it. Drives me crazy.
The Blue lady is a type of sahuagin called a Milenti, they look like sea elves but are just as evil as there more fish like kin.
I had a question on the Malenti entry. Are the stat modifiers cumulative with the base Sahuagin ones?
The stat block seems to indicate so, but I wanted to be sure.

I began dm'ing the first module last month and I ordered the second module today. The Pc's need to refit the Man's Promise. Where do they get the $$ from? Reason I asked is b/c I developed a "side quest" for them to find treasure that will provide enough pieces of 10 to actually custome made their own ship (same dimensions as the Man's Promise). This quest involves talking to dragons for help, going to churche's and libraries and do research in terms of Astronomy, liberating a cursed pirate crew, and finding the gold. In doing so, their ship gets destroyed and they have to build form scratch whcih will give mor flavor and a bette sense ofplace in terms of: THIS is our ship.
Couls someone share were the PC's get the $$$???
THX
The PCs can use treasure they got on Bonewrack Isle in the first adventure. If they don't want to use that or don't have enough, page 9 of this volume details alternate payment methods Rickety Hake will accept to refit the PCs' ship.
Still waiting for this to arrive at my LGS. Hopefully it will be there tomorrow...

Love the AP so far. One thing that keeps bothering me is the map on page 33 of Tidewater Rock. The staircase does not seem to match from floor to floor. Anyone else troubled by this?
Otherwise, great continuation and I too enjoyed the cover art!
Stairs are notoriously hard to depict on maps, but I'm not sure where they don't match up. The staircase at B6 connects to B7 (it turns to the right at the end of B6 to join B7, but that turn is not actually shown on the map, which may be the source of confusion. The B7 stairs continue spiraling clockwise to join the northernmost stairs in B11. The second stairway in B11 (leading north, just south of the first stairs) leads up to the roof (B13).
Does that help?
The Tiberolith looks to have a few errors in its stat block.
1) It lists has a Huge construct so it should have a hp bonus of 40 not 30 (thus having a total hp of 111)
2) The AC breakout is not listed. However assuming a natural AC bonus of +16 and a size AC bonus of -2 the AC looks like it would be 24, touch 8, flat-footed 24, not touch 10.
3) Also I think the Will save should be +4 not +3
I just got the book, and it looks great, but I'm confused. Wasn't there supposed to be an article on Torag in this?
Though admittedly, I had a hard time seeing how he'd fit into an AP about piracy.
Thanks for the explanation, Mister Daigle.
I love this episode, really like the Seacat, Urchins and the PLant creature, not really into yet another beautiful-woman monster tho so the Malenti (ala Undine, Nereid, Triton, Rusalka) isn't something I would use/like.
Otherwise its very good! So glad with the Seacat!

The Malenti are not "woman-monsters".. Paizo just chose to illustrate a female in this case. They can be either gender. Their menace is that they look just like Aquatic Elves. If you encounter a group of Elves swimming about, there's a chance one (or more!) of them is actually a Sahuagin Malenti spy.
