What materials are needed to run Rise of the Runelords?

[Jonventus]

I'm not a subscriber, so it would be great if someone could give me a brief rundown on all the Pathfinder products relating to this AP (chronicles, companion, accessories, etc). Which ones are essential are especially useful?

Thanks

Actually I found that nothing but the Player's Guide was really essential. The Harrow Deck doesn't come into play, the Map Folio is just printed copies of the maps (hardly necessary), etc.

Pathfinder Chronicles didn't begin until relatively recently so there were no companion products needed to run RotRL!

On the other hand, the article on Varisians in #7 (first issue of CotCT) is a great read for PCs and DMs both.

I might say that, however, a few WOTC sourcebooks might interest you if you want to add your own stuff.

Libris Mortis and Heroes of Horror, for example.

There's also alot of great encounters and side-treks posted on the boards.
