D'oh. Didn't even think about doing that. It worked. Thanks Festivus.
However clicking on the link still does not work.
There are so many combinations of OS, browser, and PDF plug-in that viewing PDFs inside your browser (which is what you're doing) is a spotty proposition. If you really care, I'd advise you to make sure you have the latest versions of all three of those things. But, really, "Save as..." is the way to go.
Free RPG day didn't come to Canada, which was lame. I didn't know until after the fact and I went to two of the FLGS's looking for this module.
Is there any way we Canadians can get a little "D0" hardcover lovin?

Yes! The print edition is available for sale worldwide! (And it's a softcover, not hardcover.)
When I received the stack of Free RPG materials from local hobby, I didn't really 'want' anything but D0. I looked through the stack (with D0 sitting patiently on the bottom). And though there was definately some decent things in the stack, nothing could have prepared me for the WOW that was D0.
All I can say is that I am foaming at the mouth in anticipation for future products of this caliber. And the $5.00 price tag here on the website I would gladly pay three times as much for this quality.
Keep it up.
In the words of everybody's favorite Dark Lord of the Sith...
Impressive. Most impressive.

Okay, so I've read it in detail now, and I like it even more.
The adventure itself is reminiscent of two of my old time favourites (in fact the first two modules I owned), The Keep on the Borderlands and The village of Hommlet. Or at least of parts of those. That's not to say it's unoriginal, it just has that same kind of feel to me. And as my brother says, there's always got to be a giant spider in the ruined tower off the courtyard.
I like the new monsters/new takes on monsters. I love the new magic items. In fact, I think they are my favourite thing.
The art, layout etc. are excellent as so many people have already said.
The only problem is, now I want to run it, but my campaign waiting list is already backed up!

I downloaded and printed this module. I started playing it with my kids using the pregenerated characters (each kid playing 2 of the characters). The kid playing Seoni wanted her to be from a big city so I looked on the map of Varisia on the blog but couldn't find where Falcon Hollow or Droksar Crag or the River Foam are so where on the map of Varisia is Falcons Hollow and what would be the nearest city?
They had fun, this was the first time playing D&D with the kids that I had to say it was time to stop (usually they tell me by becoming disinterested).

Falcon's Hollow is not on the map of Varisia. The small town is in a frontier kingdom a ways to the west of Varisia.
That said... Seoni could still be from Magnimar or some other large metropolis.. out here trying to find work, escorting a caravan, visiting relatives, etc.

Just a general reminder to all our readers, because it bears repeating: Varisia is only one Texas-sized piece of our campaign setting, which is itself the size of Earth. :)
In fact, with a few exceptions, most GameMastery Modules won't take place anywhere near Varisia or future locations detailed in Adventure Paths. :)

As always, I'm late to the party.
Just got my copy and have flipped through it.
The art and production quality are outstanding. I was already very excited about Pathfinder and had previously subscribed.
I was going to base a lot of my decision regarding collecting the individual modules around what I saw in D0. D0 was going to be my little test run for the modules.
What I've seen absolutely does not disappoint.
Unfortunately, I now envision myself handing over large quantities of money for future Modules. :D
Very well done guys. Awesome work.
Finally got a chance to GM Hollow's Last Hope, and it was a blast! I played with a group of three, one of whom had been begging to play in a campaign for a while now. In the end (or rather the beginning), the three "heroes" consisted of a neutral male elven spellthief, a neutral warforged warblade (the player was begging to play one), and a neutral evil human warlock. All non-core classes, and no one wanted to be the cleric. (I think you see where this is going.)
Without spending too much time littering this post with spoilers, I'll just say that they had a devil of a time even staying conscious. I got my first ever TPK with the second encounter...
The players sped quickly through a fasttrack to the BBEG in the dwarven monastery, and only barely managed to put him down. Even though the party only dealt with seven encounters (one was random), I managed to drop one player's character (the spellthief w/frail as a trait [Unearthed Arcana]) four times! Even the warforged had to be restored, courtesy of a "conveniently placed" wand of repair light damage with a few charges in it.
What a wonderful, fast, and thoroughly accessible adventure, and thanks to Jason Bulmahn and F. Wesley Schneider for giving us a fun-filled evening of dungeon crawling and creepy crawlies.
