I just purchased this and it's absolutely incredible. I feel like I'm walking through a super fancy theme part of the thoughts in my head. Each map I open, each area description, it all is done with such a loving and expert touch.
Though I wrote this several months ago, getting to see it in full color, and a fantastic sound design complete with ambient sounds, is bringing it all back to life for me. The locations, the characters, the silliness, and the dark moments... they all live and breathe in this VTT. I'm absolutely flabergasted.
My plan wasn't to run this AP, but after seeing the majesty of this product, and how easy it is to just... run a game... I am seriously considering it.
If you're running this online, or have access to a digital display for your in-person group, you should ABSOLUTELY consider getting this. Not only is it going to save you dozens of hours of prep time, but the result is what you would get if you spent hundreds of hours crafting this experience.

Bought it earlier today, and not only is the vtt module stunning, the actual adventure is one of the best I've read in a very long time! Fantastic job!
It looks spectacular!

First of all, congrats!
Then, I'd also like whole-heartedly endorse the practice of in-person play with FoundryVTT on the GMs laptop + one monitor to show the players. Since I started doing that it has completely overhauled my experience at the table and multiplied the fun exponentially. I don't think I'd ever go back to not using that xDI even adopted the system for my other non-Paizo games that maybe don't have such a strong system support on Foundry. It's still well worth the small hassle for me.

I like my PDFs, but for an extra $7, I can also get the entire volume pre-made in Foundry? Which is where I planned to run it anyways?
This is a no-brainer purchase, best of both worlds. I've picked up Guns and Gears and Book of the Dead through Demiplane for similar reasons - if having the PDF copies as part of other platforms' purchases is the plan going forward, that makes me a happy consumer, and gets two very enthusiastic thumbs up from me.
Foundry Technical question:
** spoiler omitted **
My understanding is that these modules have been designed to work with the core functionality….ie no modules are needed to run them as designed/intended. I haven’t seen anything mentioned specifically, but you might want to check out the Foundry Discord and subReddit channels.

Thank you for writing this wonderful module. I ran my groups first session and we had so much fun with it. Additionally thank you to everyone involved with assembling this module, it works so well, I almost cried a little when enemies automatically calculated flanking, I didn't know it could do that.

The automatic flanking is one of the most recent updates to the PF2 system! EVERY combat, be them homebrew of from any adventure module, will have this feature. :P
And this is all made by volunteers on their free time!So yes they deserve all the thanks. :P
(Just to note that the work done on the actual premium modules is paid, so there's no exploitation of labor here. Only the free system is community developped. Just to make sure I don't cause a big misunderstanding)
Hi there,
Awesome module and I am eager to run it soon. !! I have a few question ?
Is there a place where we can follow your release roadmap as I have noticed a few issues
- When the module is activated, the bestiary compendium doesn't load
- The Map of alkenstar has no point of interest (unlike Otari in the begginner box).
- I would like to find a way to add french translation of descriptions that would be persistant accross upgrade, how could I achieve this (this is somehow important as it helps in fluid GM of the game)
Thank you and I hope that you will continue produce more and more modules over the initial RoadMap. I am buying all modules to help this :-)

Please provide product feedback to Foundry VTT.
Alkenstar points of interest are in the free Player's Guide.
French translations can be provided based on the Community Use Policy if they are free to the community.
From what i saw it's a great work. Good maps, sounds, tokens all is good except one thing. It's expensive. I don't need a free pdf, i only need module for Foundry.

As the module basically includes the PDF you need to buy it either way.

Yeah, in reality you're only paying $7 to have the contents of the .PDF converted to a ready-to-play VTT module, with high-quality maps, music and tokens made for the VTT specifically. That's $7 to save you hours upon hours of work to do that all yourself. And to me, that's well worth the price of admission.

To supplement what Ezekieru said, based on what I gathered from different sources and discussions:
The people doing the VTT content only get the "extra" 7$ on top of the PDF's value. So when you buy it, Paizo collect the PDF's value and send the rest to the developers of the module. If you already own the PDF, Paizo don't ask you to buy it again and let you only pay the value that will be sent to Foundry.| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Too bad paizo doesn’t manage to sell to Europe in a decent way. Would have liked to use this with the subscriptions, but with paizo shipping and botching of VAT etc. that is regrettably not a viable option. Still might buy the PDF for some paths …. but regrettable that the model mainly serves one market.
These are a nifty new product to bring to market. I haven't bought one yet, but I am running Abomination Vaults using the fan-made maps that are already walled and lit and it has sped up as well as increased my groups enjoyments.
Do you get discounts on PDFs or VTT modules if you own a Paizo online store bought copy of the book?
The Paizo Advantage API only syncs with PDF purchases.
When will this get the update to Foundry v10? The other premium modules got their updates a week ago, but I can't find anything for the Outlaws adventures.
Right now you can't even load the adventures in v10.

The company Sigil manages the Foundry modules for Outlaws of Alkenstar and Blood Lords, and they're slated to be updated to V10 by the end of September. Until then, the modules won't be able to be imported into any V10 version. You'd need to have it made already in a V9 version, and then upgrade to V10 (and even then, the journals will be very messy in comparison to just sticking to V9).

Overall I'd say I am content with this product but due to the fact that a majority of the named NPC's were just set to default commoners and that two of the named NPC were simply not included, I am left disappointed.
I also would have liked if the module included the token ring used by the NPCs, I thought that looked cool.
Where do we go to report editing problems and bugs, not anything wrong with Foundry, just missing text / duplicated text, or other kinds of errors? I'm not sure if this should go in an email to Paizo or to Sigil or to both?

Posted on a different product, but probably work here too?
Hi all! Please remember to submit bug reports through the service portal linked on the landing journal entry. That's the best place to make sure the developers see it. Thanks!
Yes, make sure you have updated your module and the landing page journal entry will have a link to the service portal. It can also be found directly here: https://support.sigil-services.com/
