Shackled City Questions

[soulforge]

Anybody who has the new hardback or has run the adventure path from the magazine I was wondering some things. Is there any books that you would recommend picking up to assist with running the campaign? I understand some creatures from the fiend folio play highly into the story, and am wondering if I would need to pick that up to help flesh out the creatures.. beyond that I can't think of anything else that would be required.

First I must say I am very pleased with Paizo's service. I paid for 3-5 day shipping and the thing was on my doorstep the DAY OF the release.

The campaign hardcover features monsters from Feind Folio, MM2, and MM3. All of these creatures however are given a full stat block in the monster appendix, and are briefly described in the text in the apporopriate place, so while you can add extra flavor by having the source material, they aren't 100% necessary to running the campaign.

If there was a second book I'd describe, it would be the DMG II. The crowd rules, guild guidelines, PC's running a business, and a host of other city-based rules are quite a good match to use in the Shackled City campaign.

FF would be helpful, but not vital as all of the relevant info is included in the adventure path.
