[QUOTE="delericho, post: 6835622, member: 22424"] [b]3 out of 5 rating for Hell's Rebels Adventure Path[/b] I found "Hell's Rebels" somewhat tricky to rate - as with all the Paizo APs, it's extremely well put together, the story is well told, and there's no doubt a lot of fun to be had here; however, I'm afraid this path also left me cold, and left me with no burning desire to run it. (Indeed, unlike most paths, this one didn't have a single "must run" adventure, which is quite unusual - even those paths I haven't liked have usually had at least one outstanding part. So in the end, I've rated this at 3 stars - below "Giantslayer", "Princes of the Apocalypse", or "Out of the Abyss". It's rather better than "Tyranny of Dragons" (both as a compiled storyline and also each part individually)... but I have no desire to play that one, either. There's not really much else to say: the synopsis of the path, and also of the individual volumes, give a pretty decent idea of what to expect - the PCs are rebels against the powers-that-be in a city in Cheliax, with the potential to make a real difference in their entire region. Perhaps one thing worth noting: the last part of the last adventure has a "Content Warning" as it's somewhat more adult-oriented than the norm for Pathfinder (well, apart from the "Hook Mountain Massacre" adventure in "Rise of the Runelords"). I found myself a little uneasy about this - it's not that I object to adult-oriented material (I don't), and I agree that if it is present then there probably does need to be fair warning. However, by placing the warning before the [i]last[/i] section of the [i]last[/i] adventure, it potentially meant someone could play the entire campaign to this point only to find they couldn't enjoy the climax - the effect is akin to producing a series of films all at PG-13 rating and then jumping to an R for the last. I think I would have preferred the content warning to be given right at the outset, and then (potentially) they could have taken the gloves off throughout. [/QUOTE]
