Splinters of Faith 01: It started with a Chicken by Frog God Games
This product is 20 pages long. It starts with a cover, ToC, and credits. (3 pages)
Introduction (5 pages)
In this section it explains how this is the first of a 10 part adventure path. It is a first level adventure and says by the end of all 10 adventures PC's should be 14th level. It gives a very brief overview of the series of adventures. Next it moves onto a history behind the adventure series, then list each of the 10 adventures with a small blurb about them. Followed with advice on how to use the adventures series, plot hooks and overview map of the area. With a final section on a magic item, which I won't mention to avoid spoiling the adventure.
It Started with a Chicken (3 pages)
Really this section is the rest of the book but I am going to break it up for ease of the review. This section deals with a small town the PC's come into. There is a local small reward for missing chickens believed to have been taken by a fox. The reward is for the capture of the fox. The section details the small village and a few of the important NPC's. It also has two possible encounters, assuming the PC's take up the bounty on the fox.
Akruels Tomb (5 pages)
Looking into the missing chickens should eventually lead the PC's to a old tomb that has recently been opened. There is 8 possible encounters including traps in this mini dungeon. I won't get into any details as it would spoil things to much. Two encounters might be a little tough depending on the party mix but with smart PC's none of it should prove to dangerous. At the end of the adventure they learn some disturbing news which should lead them to the next part in the adventure series.
It ends with a OGL, and 3 pages of ads. (4 pages)
Closing thoughts. This is a pretty simple and straight forward introduction to the adventure series. It should be pretty easy with a few hooks to get the PC's to investigate the area around the town even if they ignore the fox hook. The art work is pretty good black and white art. Other than the region map, there is also maps of the village, a couple of the builds and the tomb.
Not all the monsters are fully stated out. Some of them just list what they are, hp etc. So you will need access to the Pathfinder Bestiary or a Monster Manual if you want to run it with 3.5 DnD or older edition. It is like all Frog God Games a old style adventure, PC's should be smart or they could get themselves in trouble.
There is no bookmarks but with a product this small they are hardly needed. I did notice one error in the book. On page 10 the first letter of the first word in the left column is partially cut off. That is the only page it is on. It is still pretty easy to read but a odd error. So whats my rating? For the price I am going with a 4 star. It is a simple and very straight forward adventure. It didn't wow me but then it is setting up something that does perk my interest. So as a introductory adventure is accomplishes it's task.
