Pathfinder News: Bargains during 10th Anniv Sale on Paizo.Com
I wouldn't normally consider a "sale" to be a newsworthy item, but the 10th Anniversary Sale which started yesterday on Paizo.com and runs until August 13 is exceptional because of the nature of the bargains being offered.
The more significant items on sale include:
Serpent's Skull Adventure Path : All six volumes for $80. Not too shabby, but there are better deals in this sale, such as...
Second Darkness Adventure Path: While there is a broad consensus that this is the worst of the Adventure Paths, with a little bit of re-working, it's actually quite decent and a lot of fun. When you can buy a dead tree copy of each of the six volumes for $5 a piece? $30 for a complete Adventure Path? SOLD!
Legacy of Fire Adventure Path: I am playing in vol. 5 of this one right now actually. This was the last Adventure Path from the 3.5 era at Paizo and features gorgeous artwork and maps, some great locations and overall, it's been a lot of fun. Once more, print versions of each of the six volumes are on sale for $5 each? $30 for an entire Adventure Path is worth more than a second look. You cannot go wrong at this price.
In addition, there are reduced prices for the last three of the Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path volumes (a VERY good AP I might add) as well as reduced prices for Council of Thieves, which was the first Paizo AP written for the Pathfinder RPG rules system.
GameMastery Modules: Perhaps the absolute STEAL in all of this is Paizo's clearing out of the old 3.5 era, 32 page GameMastery Adventure Modules. These modules are all set in Golarion and most of them are written by top-rate adventure authors. Put simply, these modules present an incredible value at that price. Almost the entire GameMastery Module product line is available on sale for just $3 each while supplies last (and at that price, I'm guessing many of them won't). If you can't get $3 value out of each of these modules? Then give up now because you are just a *BAD GM*. Three bucks a piece? SOLD!
The other gems in the 10th Anniversary Sale include 19 of the GameMastery Map Packs for $5 each. IF you had a chance to read my review on the Map Pack line, my initial misgivings over the product line was one of perceived value, especially when compared to the Flip-Mat line (and yes, there are a few of those Flip-Mats on sale, too). At a regular price of $12.99 each, many of the Map Packs did not seem as good a deal to me as a flip-mat does.
But... (and that's a big "BUT") when they are only $5 a piece? Different story entirely. Buy one of each on sale -- and while you are at it, do yourself a favor and get yourself THREE copies each of the Caverns and the Sewers map pack as those tiles are meant to be combined with multiple sets of each to increase the mapping options. Three copies of each of those two Map Pack products and you can put together a very decent and large sewer system or cavern layout - on the fly. It's not as good as the Mines Map Pack (which isn't one of the Map Packs on sale) but at $5 each, you're not going on wrong on any of this stuff.
The sale extends to many other Pathfinder products on Paizo.com as well, including a large selection in the Pathfinder Campaign Setting line and Pathfinder Society Scenarios. One of the gems is the Rise of the Runelords Map Pack Folio for $2! Two. Frikkin. Dollars. A large number of GameMastery Card Decks for $5, too. The list goes on.
PDFs are on sale as well, including copies of Dungeon and Dragon magazine. For those who missed the Age of Worms Adventure Path, you can get all 12 issues of what is my favorite Paizo AP on PDF for a little over $43 right now. And when it comes to converting Age of Worms AP to Pathfinder rules, you want the .PDF version for copy+paste editing purposes. The commercial PDF version is actually better than the hard copy - so this is quite an attractive price.
Check it out. While the sale lasts until August 13, at these prices, my guess is that a large swath of these print products will sell out at these prices. Get 'em while you can.
