5 out of 5 rating for Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook This is a new version of D&D 3rd Edition, and that is both a strength and a weakness. In fact, the game system is polished and improved. But in the end, it's the same game (with the same problems, such as caster supremacy and extreme...

4 out of 5 rating for Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Bestiary 3 There is a good number of old creatures in this Bestiary, but the number of original enemies went up. There is a good balance of CRs. Less useful than Bestiary 1 and 2, but from an artistic point of view it's a superior work that its...

4 out of 5 rating for Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Bestiary 2 Good mix of old creatures and new entries, and balance between high and low CRs. The art is inferior to that of the first (and third) Bestiary, but this is so useful that is arguably the second Pathfinder Bestiary you should buy...

4 out of 5 rating for Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Bestiary Essential resource for Pathfinder; it's a polished and more artistic version of 3.5's Monster Manual. I actually LOVE this book, especially for the gorgeous pictures, so if I had to choose what to collect, between 3.5's MM and...

The GREAT, must-play Adventure Paths were, in my opinion: 1) AGE OF WORMS 2) SAVAGE TIDE 3) Reign of Winter 4) Curse of the Crimson Throne 5) Kingmaker 6) Strange Aeons 7) Skulls & Shackles 8) Shattered Star

5 out of 5 rating for Shattered Star Adventure Path I really appreciate this AP. There are TWO must-play adventures: the second one, and the fourth. The latter one is an incredibly good high-level dungeon, but the former has a plot twist so unique you have to experience it. Adventures one...

5 out of 5 rating for Strange Aeons Adventure Path Paizo used Lovecraftian elements since the beginning (RotRL), but this is the first time we have an experience in which Pathfinder and Cthulhu merge in something... different. I'm not a Lovecraft guy but I was amazed by the atmosphere created...

4 out of 5 rating for Serpent's Skull Adventure Path A good AP in which you explore the jungle and lost civilizations, Indiana-Jones like. I have good memories especially of the first three adventures; the sixth, instead, was anticlimatic. Anyway, there's nothing truly exceptional in this AP.

3 out of 5 rating for Princes of the Apocalypse Boooring. It's not bad; the dungeons are professionally made. Only, nothing could interest the players. Could not get to the end because of the really boring dungeons. The BEST part of the book is the appendix in which WotC explains how this...

4 out of 5 rating for Storm King's Thunder WotC tried to make a true sandbox. They were and, at the same time, were not successful. First of all, the adventure truly starts at 5th. The provided adventure to bring beginning characters from 1st to 5th is a joke. Then, they provided 3 different...

5 out of 5 rating for Kingmaker Adventure Path Kingmaker is controversial, but in the end it deserves a 5-star rating. It is a great sandbox, as the party has to hexcrawl. This is also a weakness because most of the encounters will be very easy for a well-rested party. There is a great Quest...

4 out of 5 rating for Legacy of Fire Adventure Path Good Arabian Adventure. 1) Howl of the Carrion King. Strong start, especially the second part in which you explore a sandboxy village. 2) House of the Beast. Solid dungeon crawl. 3) The Jackal's Price. The arabian feeling intensifies in the...

5 out of 5 rating for Reign of Winter Adventure Path I absolutely loved it. The Dancing Hut confers to this Adventure Path an old-school feel unlike any other. The first two adventures have the taste of a Russian fairytale. The third one is an excellent dungeon of mythic scope, dedicated to the...

5 out of 5 rating for Skull & Shackles Adventure Path Great adventure path, sandboxy and open to morally gray characters.

1 out of 5 rating for Wrath of the Righteous Adventure Path The Mythic Rules are so broken that ruined this AP. I played it and it was the EASIEST D&D ADVENTURE I ever experienced, in a very disappointing sense. As an example, the Demon Lord Baphomet was easily defeated in the first round by...

4 out of 5 rating for Tales from the Yawning Portal It's nice to have together these classic adventures with new, fantastic art. I could say that they were made easier for the new edition, and that hurts, especially for Against the Giants and the Tomb! Another flaw is the presence of Dead in...

5 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Dungeon Master's Guide The art and overall quality is masterwork. Best version of Gygax's book for the game master, ties with AD&D 1e.

5 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Monster Manual The art and overall quality is masterwork. Best version of Gygax's bestiary.

5 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Player's Handbook The edition that brought me back to D&D after ten years! Fantastic! They managed to merge the original feeling of 2nd Edition with the precision of 3rd; to streamline the game, bringing back the preminence of Roleplay over Rollplay; to...

5 out of 5 rating for Eyes of the Stone Thief The system-seller for 13th Age. This is one of the best adventures I have played and the best Megadungeon I know of. First of all, the adventure is not linear or railroaded at all; the writer has provided a number of hooks and paths and...
