Down with Thrune!

It's the one hundredth volume of the Pathfinder Adventure Path! Too long has the diabolic Lord-Mayor Barzillai Thrune inflicted cruelties and increasingly oppressive laws on his citizens. The heroes of the beleaguered city of Kintargo finally strike back at the sources of corruption, as their rebellion mobilizes in the streets. Rescuing old heroes from forgotten prison cells, reclaiming control of key locations, and performing an ancient song that was used years ago to protect the city from Hell's agents are but the preamble for the decisive battle—an assault on the enormous Temple of Asmodeus!

This volume of Pathfinder Adventure Path continues the Hell's Rebels Adventure Path and includes:

  • "A Song of Silver," a Pathfinder adventure for 10th-level characters, by James Jacobs.
  • A study of the former faith of the dead god Aroden, by Erik Mona.
  • A retrospective collection of NPCs for each of the previous Adventure Paths, by various authors.
  • A descent into evil in the Pathfinder's Journal, by Stephanie Lorée.
  • Four exciting new monsters, by Adam Daigle and James Jacobs.
  • A poster map depicting a key battlefield within the adventure.

ISBN: 978-1-60125-795-6

Note: Pathfinder Adventure Path #100: A Song of Silver is an extra-large volume, totalling 128-pages rather than the standard 96-page format.

An epic fourth leg to an urban sandbox AP

5/5 —

(Preliminary note: Hell's Rebels is a series of urban sandbox adventures. Like most sandbox adventures, these adventures especially benefit from a DM who is willing (i) to tailor the adventure to the motivations and goals of the particular party, (ii) to allow players to be proactive, and to shape the adventure around their decisions, and (iii) to allow the party to try (and succeed at) dealing with problems in unexpected ways. So while these adventures run fine "out of the box", they work best with experienced and flexible DMs who are willing to put in a little extra work.)

We haven't finished A Song of Silver yet, so this review is largely based on my impressions from reading through the adventure. So far this has been a lot of fun, and I expect it to be among the best legs to date, second only to The Dance of the Damned. It wraps up some loose ends, allows the party to finally let loose on the authorities, and has a number of opportunities for a "special-ops"-style party to shine. There aren't quite as many role-playing opportunities in this leg of the AP as there were in the previous three legs. But the Temple of Asmodeus looks to have some pretty epic encounters, ones I expect my players will remember for a long time.

Some of the things the players enjoyed, and some expected highlights:

  • --Repelling the Thrunish Counterstrike on the player's base
  • --Infiltrating Kintargo Keep
  • --The epic battle in the main hall of the Temple of Asmodeus
  • --The frighteningly difficult task of Exorcising the Devil's Bells

Some tweaks we used/are planning to use to strengthen the narrative:

  • --Each of the missions in the first half of this AP are tied to the liberation of a part of the city. But in some cases there isn't much, narratively-speaking, to tie the missions and liberations together. A few tweaks to make the connection a bit tighter:
  • --Adding a written contract between Natsiel and Barzillai to Natsiel's possessions, and having the public release of these documents (demonstrating Barzillai's willingness to let Natsiel prey on the people of Jarvis End) lead the people of Jarvis End to rise up and ally with Silver Ravens.
  • --Having Tiarise and her inquisitor troops be in explicit control of The Greens (employing martial law to keep the population of The Greens compliant), so that once they're defeated, the populace will gladly join the Silver Ravens.
  • --Adding a written contract between Hei-Fen and Barzillai to Hei-Fen's possessions, and having the public release of these documents (demonstrating Barzillai's willingness to let the skinsaw cultists prey on the people of Villegre) lead the people of Villegre to rise up and ally with Silver Ravens.

Overall assessment: Another great leg of this AP, up there with the very best AP 4th legs (like The End of Eternity and The Wake of the Watcher). 5 stars.

One of the best AP modules, with extra bonus material

5/5 —

Short disclaimer: I have not run this module. That being said, the bonus material alone is fantastic. One new NPC for each previous adventure path, plus some killer critters in the bestiary. Flipping through the module section, I see lots of interesting encounters that would be very challenging, indeed, to a party of 10+ level adventurers.

If I hadn't already decided to resubscribe for this AP you'd have had me with this issue!

Can't wait!

While i find an additional price increase of $5 an impertinence for the people who want to play part 4 of an ongoing campaign ultimately I am willing to pay it ONLY because of the included postermap.

There are an additional 32 pages which is a plus of 33.33% so there is that too. That is a very good value...

I find the article about Aroden very interesting and hope it will shed light on what happened to him and i am also curious about the AP retrospective.

All in all it is a must buy for Pathfinder and Paizo fans and i am very excited but i feel a little sorry for people who just want to play the AP.

Very keen eyes. It is a typo in the headline. I almost didn´t see it. :-)

Shensen, one of James Jacob's characters that's been 'imported' to Golarion.

One hundred volumes! Congratulations Paizo, that's awesome!

I'm very much looking forward to the whole Hell's Rebels adventure path, especially this volume with the extra content and map. Sounds like it's going to be fun.

And we didn't even mention the little hinged foldout on the spine so that we can fit the number "100"!

The little hinged foldout I can without, but you Paizo folks better make the pages brimstone-scented and add a VHS cassette with a live-action Pathfinder movie starring Lorenzo Lamas as Valeros OR there will be a riot.

Or better yet, Val Kilmer as Valeros, seeing as how...well, just look..

Yes, there are some similarities between Val and Valeros...and I think I just found another.

Did you guys ever say how you are solving the "three digit numbers on the spine" problem? Moving to a smaller font? Going sideways?

Did you read what Vic wrote right under that?

Besides, a hinged foldout would only help for that single issue anyway.

We didn't say. Andrew figured out how to make it work without rotating the numbers. Not sure how. That's art director stuff.

This isn't a permanent solution. All you've done is pass the buck down the line until we reach Pathfinder #1000, and then you have to come up with a solution for the November 2090 issue.

Seriously, though, good to hear! :)

Well... since by the time we'd get to Pathfinder #1000 I'd be 118 years old... I feel fairly confident that making that decision won't be an issue for me.

But I thought you were a half-elf and you would be doing this for another 100 years or more?! You mean all this is FAKE?! Pathfinder isn't real?!

That's silly, of course it's all real! It makes total sense that a T-Rex, a Ninja, and all of their pals go around writing down and distributing world history in the form of a game. And I'm really a Gnoll from Varisia. You can trust me, it's ALL real!

Spoiler:
Except for Santa.

It's not like James Jacobs isn't preparing his arcane ritual to ascend to eternal lichdom as we speak. Maybe he'll hide his phylactery somewhere in the Doubletree Hilton near SeaTac.

Right now, this volume is using an estimate on the shipping weight. It will be more accurate the closer to reality it gets.

Shensen will probably be on the final cover as well. She lives in Kintargo after all, and is currently "missing."

Completely random thought, likely not related to any forthcoming AP, but...

How cool would it be to have an AP where the final boss... was the PCs themselves?

And the cover had a die cut "mirror" reflecting the viewer right back at themself as a result?

Bestiary 5's cover image and product description was updated recently. Seeing as how this is also releasing in November, I would imagine that the update won't be far behind.

Time Magazine did something like that once for their "Person of the Year." If I recall, the responses were... mixed.

The first three covers are blue and glorious. I love all of them.

Will the covers of Hell's Vengeance be red to contrast?

They haven't yet been designed.

Figured there be something about Aroden in #100, but the extra NPCs for previous APs is just awesome!

Almost all of the 16 NPCs are new characters. Less than a quarter of them have been mentioned before.
