Legendary Games is proud to introduce our new product line of Adventure Path Plug-Ins in support of your friendly local Far East Adventure Path! Check it out here at Paizo!
When you download this product, you will discover some of our upcoming products for this Adventure Path in the preview section on the back cover, which are also discussed further on our website as we talk about the future of Legendary Games.
One example of that future can be found in our first Far East AP product, Under Frozen Stars. People loved our first two adventures but thought they were a bit on the short side. Where The Fiddler's Lament and The Murmuring Fountain were around 7000 words (counting only actual game content, not credits and legal pages), Under Frozen Stars is over 11,000.
People commented also that the adventures were great, but how would they use them if they were already past that point in the adventure? Under Frozen Stars also contains notes throughout the adventure for scaling the adventure up or down. There are limits on how flexible an adventure can be, but we have greatly widened the potential band of usability for the adventure.
Finally, and this may be the first thing you notice when you go to the product page, you can purchase and download this product two different ways: our legendary landscape orientation (which makes for easier reading on laptop and tablet screens) and a more classic portrait view (which makes for easier printing out and putting in a notebook). We got some feedback indicating there was some desire to buy our products in a vertical portrait orientation, and our expert layout man Tim Wickham made it happen. The next step is yours.
Which do the customers prefer? Vote with your wallet and we will see whether there is enough of a critical mass to produce products both ways, or if there is a clear preference for one versus the other. Feel free to sound off with your comments as well, as we are always eager to hear what our customers enjoy and how we can make a terrific product even better for you. Happy reading and happy gaming!
Purchased!
Haven't had a chance to read it through thoroughly yet, but after a quick skim, it looks absolutely awesome. I'm just finishing up Night of Frozen Shadows. After that, we swap over to volume 2 of Skull & Shackles, but then I'll be leaping into The Hungry Storm, and I definitely intend to make use of this.
As far as format, I didn't even have to think about it. Went straight for the Legendary Landscape. I have loved the layouts of your products thus far and would be quite bummed to see the landscape format go away.
I am so proud of how Legendary Games is developing. What a team. Amazing. If you guys haven't checked out the new products, you really need to do so--immediately!

Haven't been able to pick this one up. But for the the record the blurbs say
Download includes FOUR files: a full color version AND a stripped black and white version for easy printing, and by popular demand both files are available in classic vertical (portrait) orientation as well as our legendary horizontal (landscape) orientation.
But when I god the Codex Construct one it only had the one set. Since it sells both sets, I am unsure if the blurb is wrong and you don't get all 4 in one download or if the download is wrong. But just FYI you might want to change the wording if that is wrong or check into the downloads.
I like the classic portrait format. It's the same format the AP goes and tablets usually adapt quite well to portrait format, the only trouble comes with laptops.
I'm very interested in more plugins for the Far East Adventure Path. I promised my players they will finish the Path at level 20 and I have some ideas I'll eventually share in the forums, but I am not sure I will have enough real life time to develop adventures for five levels.
Have you got plans for more plugins? Varisian ones, Viking ones, Artic ones or Far East ones?
By the way I'm DMing The Hungry Storm and it's being a blast. Great work!
Jason, are there any plans for further plug-in modules? I'm excited to run The Baleful Coven and Under Frozen Stars in my Jade Regent group. Further add-ons would be awesome because I'm trying to get my group up to levels 20+.
