Map Packs and Cards

[ossian666]

Hey all!

I just ordered my AP for CoT and I wanted the input of maybe a few players that have either played or ran this AP.

I want to grab some map packs and cards to help with my campaign, but I'm not sure what I need.

Can you guys recommend what card and map packs will be the most helpful for me?

Thanks!

I have been running this campaign for my players for some time now. We're almost through book 5 and looking forward to book 6.

Spoiler Alert:

One map that you will use forsure and that comes into play in Book 2 is the GameMastery Flip-Mat: Theater (Mine and my players favorite part in the entire campaign) I don't recall any of the other maps in the AP matching any pre-mades although you will find the GameMastery Flip-Mat: City Streets in conjuction with GameMastery Map Pack: Shops very usefull for a lot of encounters throughout the entire AP. The very first encounter, if you don't want to draw, would utilize GameMastery Map Pack: Sewers very nicely.

As far as cards go, the following I found either indespensable or a big hit with the players;
GameMastery Critical Hit Deck (3.5/PFRPG)
GameMastery Critical Fumble Deck (3.5/PFRPG)
GameMastery Plot Twist Cards
GameMastery Condition Cards (PFRPG)

The GameMastery Chase Cards Deck (PFRPG) came out a little late for me to implement, but I'm running Kingmaker next, so I will try them there.
I tried using the various item card decks with my characters, but they got set aside real fast as the players lose interest in the novelty of it and just resort to writing down everything again. I like them, the idea is good, there's just a lot of maintenance involved with keeping them up. I'll give them a second chance in KingMaker as I have several hundred of the cards, but if they don't go over any better, I'll pack them away into a drawer.

I hope this helps, and enjoy the campaign. My group and I are having a great time with it.

Cool thanks! I will be ordering those this weekend then so I am set to go at the end of the month!

The chase cards have been useful, and the theatre flip mat will see plenty of use in book two.

And, any kind of a city map will be useful.

As far as I can remember, there is also the arena map that's available (for book 3).
