Rumors abound that an old enemy, a dangerous foe you defeated at the culmination of your first huge adventure, has come back. Yet confronting your old nemesis once again is only the beginning of what's next for your group, for a famous director has singled you out as the subject of her newest opera. How dangerous could it be, helping to produce an extravaganza based on your own heroic legacy?
Stage Fright is a Pathfinder adventure for four 11th-level characters. This adventure begins the Curtain Call Adventure Path, a three-part monthly campaign in which a group of adventurers help to produce an opera based on their own prior adventures while simultaneously facing a new threat that only the most powerful of heroes can stop. This adventure also includes information about theatrical traditions of Golarion as well as an entire potential cast of diverse actors to help bring the new opera to life, several new magical items to discover and operatic abilities to master, and several new monsters from the whimsical to the truly horrific.
Written by: Richard Pett, with Rue Dickey, Katrina Hennessy, and Isis Wozniakowska.
The first chapter (and half of the second) feels like padding. The Nemesis system feels like a misrepresented gimmick. I would have thought the shift to three-part Adventure Paths would result in a tighter focus on the actual story, but this first book is all over the place. I was unimpressed and uninspired by Stage Fright; a weak & meandering start to the Curtain Call AP.

Can you elaborate on the Hellshadow a bit? Like is it a devil fiend?
Is that what they are fighting on the cover?
Spoiler:
The one statted is a devil, and that's vastly the most common, but there's a sidebar that there could theorically be some with other fiendish tendencies. But it also explains why it's almost exclusively devils. And yes, it's on the cover!

Glorious!
Fiends are my favorite monsters, especially devils but I also love shadow themed creatures and magic too.
So that combines 2 of my favorite things into one.
