Pathfinder 1E What are the best Paizo PDFs to buy with their new PDFlove discount?

[Noumenon]

When Goodman Games put all their 3.5E PDFs on sale for $2 last year, we had the thread What are the Best Goodman Games Dungeon Crawl Classics? Since then I have had the best DMing experiences of my life running some of those modules that I didn't even know were out there. Now Paizo is having a 35% PDFLove sale until the end of April. I'm hoping this is another cheap introduction to a world of awesome. What are the modules I just have to buy now?

I'm not an expert on their standalone modules, but I really enjoyed the Rise of the Runelords, Curse of the Crimson Throne. I haven't read the newest one (Legacy of Fire) yet, but by all accounts it's good too.

If you want a more generic sourcebook, I strongly recommend Classic Monsters Revisited. It's my favorite monster ecology/fluff piece I've read. I've heard good things about Dragons Revisited too, but I haven't read it yet.

The Kobold King series, whcih was part of the free RPG days was lots of fun.

paizo.com - GameMastery Module D1: Crown of the Kobold King (OGL)

paizo.com - Pathfinder Module D1.5: Revenge of the Kobold King (OGL)


A couple of them are free and they lead right into an adventure path.

No idea if they are any good, but I bought Guide to Absalom, Second Darkness, Elves of Golarion and Osirion, Land of Pharaohs, just to see if the fluff was still strong with the Paizonians.

Someday, Mark, I'm going to have given out XP to enough people that I can give it to you again. Thanks for the recommendations and the help on my grig post.

The Pathfinder Campaign Setting is a fantastic book (paizo.com - Pathfinder Chronicles: Campaign Setting (OGL)), and at this price, it would be sad to miss it. For me, every page has a nugget or five to make me think and extrapolate on for my own campaign.

For myself, I'm going to pick up the Osirion PDF (paizo.com - Pathfinder Companion: Osirion, Land of Pharaohs (OGL)), just for more background and ideas.

Apparently, their Dragon Revisited product will be available on April 15th and eligible for this discount. I'll be on that line, that's for certain!

I just want to add my support for this. Classic Monsters Revisited is the best book I've seen from Paizo and well worth whatever price you pay for it.

Good question

I'm still running Savage Tide, but I expect I'll run one of the newer Paizo APs afterwards. Could anyone compare and contrast their strengths and weaknesses? Which one is best?

Having run D0 a few weeks back I can attest to it's fun factor. Best part of the adventure for me was when they got lost.

I also really liked the first couple pathfinder modules, but I haven't actually run them yet. The goblin and ogre fluff was worth the price.

I caved in and bought the Campaign setting as well. On a side note, I can recommend the guides to korvosa and darkmoon vale, I really like (and use) both extensively in my campaign.
