What do the code letters in GameMastery / Pathfinder Modules mean?

[Sir Game On]

Hi,

This is my first post here, though I've been a long fan of your magazine, back from when it was called Dungeon. I'm not a native English speaker, so pardon any mistakes I might make.

I love what you guys are doing with the Pathfinder Adventure Path: the quality of the products and support is amazing!

As I'm very happy with the Adventure Paths so far, I was considering also to buy some of your modules, but there are a lot of them and I'm slightly confused.

So, do the code letters in the Modules (i.e., D1, D2, E1, J1, etc.) give an indication of what to expect from the module? I guess at least they might be related if they share the same letter but... is there some other relation between modules?

D - Dungeon

E - Event
J - Journey
W - Wilderness

D1 then stands for 1st dungeon adventure, and so on....

Thanks this is great. I was wondering the same thing. Any thoughts on what "TC-1" of "Into the Haunted forrest stands for? How about U of the U-1 of "gallery of evil or U2 of Hangman's noose? what do those letters stand for?

[Radavel]

U - stands for Urban

U - Urban

TC - Treasure Chest

"In the haunted forest" was made to be included in a "Treasure Chest" package with other stuff.

I hope it helps.

I think U is Urban and they are all city based adventures.

TC stands for Treasure Chest. Into the Haunted Forest was a smaller $5 adventure that came in the Treasure Chest box set.

The upcomming Tower of the Last Baron and Treasure of Chimera Cove are LB1 and LB2.....Those I dont know.

LB is for Last Baron, to indicate the two are connected in some way (but don't worry, you can play LB2 without LB1 if you want, since all modules are 100% stand-alones).
