I will probably be GM'ing Among the Living 0-#07 tomorrow. (Depends upon how many players show up for the other tables. It's always unpredictable around the holidays.) Any help or suggestions are appreciated. It seems to be fairly straight forwared, but anything in particular that you noticed as problematic or that I should be careful to watch for?
Specifics:
1) I'm told there is a link with a 'bunch' of community generated stuff for each of the scenarios. Where is that at?
2) Someone told me the stats for a couple of the bad guys are wrong. On the first read through I haven't noticed it. Know which ones are wrong and how they are wrong?
3) On page 14 the megaraptor zombie has three attacks listed. But since these are not fast zombies the only get single actions. So it can never make a full attack will only use the tallons at +13 (2d6+6). Correct?
4) Just read through twice and haven't done my 'in-depth look-up' review yet. Are any of the other monster stats different enough between 3.5 to PF that I should bother printing them up?

1) There's stuff in the prep folder, but I can mention what I did to liven this up. There are three main human opponents in this adventure: the female cleric, Danais Quint and Fel Bustrani. I incorporated all 3 into the adventure as NPCs in the opening. First, upon entry, the party was harassed by the ticket mistress, who was rather shocked that non-nobles could get tickets to a sold-out performance like that one. (This is mentioned in the mission briefing, but not brought up again.) She questions the party's credentials and insinuates that the tickets are stolen, but eventually lets them pass.
The party is informed that drinks will be served in the bar before the show. In the bar, there are 2 NPCs to talk to: First is Sebastus Hustavan, who should really be played up due to his importance to faction missions and to the sequel, Among the Dead. Second, I included Fel Bustrani here as the show's director, talking up the play. Then, the show started. I included Danais Quint as one of the singers in the show.
Also, be prepared to really describe the opera in detail and how horrible it is. Overall, if done correctly, it makes the adventure feel more like there's a cult behind this and less like it's just random zombie attacks.
2) I would take a look at the final boss' death touch attack. Because it has no PFS equivalent, I've not used it, but that's a decision that you're going to have to make.
3) That sounds right. Never have ran this at Tier 6-7.
4) Aside from the death touch attack, everything else is pretty standard stock.

Thanks for the link. I spend more time than many trying to draw decent maps, but those are certainly much better than my hand drawing.
