[QUOTE="Roman, post: 4785431, member: 1845"] Yeah, I only got onboard with Pathfinder with the start of the Pathfinder RPG, so I am not familiar with the prior products or the adventures (I tend to do my own adventures anyway, though admitedly I do hear on various internet fora consistently that Paizo/Pathfinder adventures are truly top-notch quality). So thank you - I appreciate the rundown! Interesting. Thank you for the summary.
