<p>The first book, Dead Roads, was very disappointing compared with what I'd imagined it would be, but I was willing to give the next book a chance. Sadly, Eulogy is even worse: lackluster, disjointed, and absolutely uninteresting. I would be embarrassed to run this as a GM.</p>
<p>I have to agree with Asgetrion that the real nadir of this book is the "teaching challenge," which is a silly encounter that has very little to do with actual teaching, either in today's age or preindustrial times. I also agree that the schoolhouse presented here is a glaring anachronism for the setting, and smacks more of 19th century American frontier life.</p>
<p>I haven't even read to the dungeon crawl at the end, having become too bored to plow any further. The long section on couatls looks interesting, but I'm puzzled what couatls have to do with Roslar's Coffer.</p>
<p>The mini-bestiary is usually one of my favorite parts of an AP, but this one really strikes out. The only bright spots in the entire book are a couple of the main antagonists, which are nicely done and would certainly make for challenging foes. </p>
<p>Apart from those, unfortunately, there simply isn't enough here to justify a purchase. If you've seen Zootopia, you may remember the tiny shriveled carrot in Judy's microwave dinner. That's kind of how this feels. </p>
<p>I had high hopes for the last first-edition AP, but I won't be buying the remaining installments. I can't in good conscience recommend it.</p>I came here to see if anyone else was aggressively underwhelmed by this installment, and it seems I'm not alone.

</p>
This book has some mild survival horror elements, but is essentially a railroad of one battle after the other with 3 or 4 very minor alibi social encounters.</p>
<p>The first part seems only like a sandbox, but it doesn't matter where you go first, as there are only battles everywhere.</p>
<p>Part 2 is where a little survival horror is found, as there are some very hard battles which have to be won to escape.</p>
<p>Part 3 is the worst & most boring part of the adventure: a giant 140 ft. (28 squares or 42 meters) broad and 195 ft. (39 squares or 58.5 meters) long building full of fights and traps.</p>
<p>Look to the next installment to see how a real sandbox intermingeled with social encounters is done.</p>Asgetrion wrote:Liked the Whispering Way article, but the adventure is sadly mediocre, and contains just as much railroading as the first one.

Here's how I interpret it after reading 1 and 2: [Spoiler omitted]archmagi12019-03-13T18:52:48ZRe: Forums: Product Discussion: Pathfinder Adventure Path #140: Eulogy for Roslar's Coffer (Tyrant's Grasp 2 of 6)Ryskyhttps://paizo.com/products/btq01x4b/discuss&page=2?Pathfinder-Adventure-Path-140-Eulogy-for-Roslars-Coffer#572019-03-18T09:37:54Z2019-03-13T16:20:54Z<div class="messageboard-quotee">Mikhail Rekun wrote:</div><blockquote><p> Greetings to all and sundry!

<p>As ever, a massive thank you to Ron Lundeen for sending this my way, along with big bunches of ideas to ponder. And likewise, what follows are some random comments that are not in any way official.</p>
<p><b>Stylistically,</b> the Gurgist grew out of thinking about hungers, while trying to avoid the usual zombie tropes (nothing wrong with those, but we were aiming at more than just 'cannibal humans'). So, I was thinking about hunger as a central theme, and addiction, and I was reading <i>Discworld</i>, and a little light bulb went up above my head. For those sorry souls among you who have not read Sir Terry's <i>Discworld</i> series, vampires there often become teetotalers, displacing their addiction to blood for something else. </p>
<p>Now, in Sir Terry's books, this is <i>mostly</i> played for laughs. So I started thinking of how to make it creepy (leading to the obsession skills). And then one of my friends showed me something that involved masks, and a second light bulb went on. Creepy masks! Masks make everything creepy! (My players are now rolling their eyes a bit). Maybe not the most original idea in the history of gaming (creepy masked dead things are a thing), but hey, it works.</p>
<p>Fun fact: As often neutral critters, they can also be creepy-cool allies.</p>
<p>So, this is where the Gurgist came from. I'm rather proud of them, and I'm <i>really</i> proud of the artwork that came with them. Seriously, it's amazing.</p>
<p><b>Mechanically</b>, Gurgists are slow-moving rogues. They have the zombie vibe, and then they rush up to you and sneak attack you (ideally, they're fighting in groups and set up flanks). Whereupon they are zombies dual-wielding daggers and hitting you for way too much damage.</p>
<p>Hope folks enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them, and with luck a few PCs will get to go 'urk' at being stabbed repeatedly.</blockquote><p>The Mortics, especially the Gurgist, are so far shaping up to be my favourite parts of the AP so far.
<p>The other part is Arazni.</p>Mikhail Rekun wrote:Greetings to all and sundry! This is Mikhail Rekun, and I wrote one of the monsters at the end of this AP -- the Gurgist, everyone's favorite terrifying masked horror who isn't really that bad.
