[QUOTE="Cor_Malek, post: 5270422, member: 91608"] I actually think of D0,1,1.5 and E1 as of an adventure path, one that I really like. Actual adventure paths just didn't grasp me, but then again: a) I had merely a glimpse (preview pdf's, and at a bookstore) b) I'm really not a printed-adventures kinda guy. Kobold King and Carnival of Tears melted my icy armour with their foulness and possibilities to expand though. However - if/when I'll be placing another order in an online shop - I'll probably order one part of [I]some[/I] kind of adventure paths, maybe even a random one. The adventure is like [I]half[/I] of the book, maybe less, and I really like all the supplements - new monsters and setting info, as well as maps. The setting info alone, makes it worth the price for me. Don't know how the numbers look like, but just to signal possible issue regarding translations: while I'd like to see the core book translated - I really couldn't care less for additional materials being translated. The core, I want in my language as to make sure I won't have a player bail out only because of the language barrier. Additional materials would be used by me, and I'd actually prefer original to localised version. Not to mention that As to bad sides - I really disliked some parts of layout, which is even more visible since there's so huge difference in quality within one book. I don't know if that's true for other books, the one I looked at was part 1 (2?) of Rise of Runelords - part of pictures are [B]well[/B] below normal PF quality, and handouts fonts were (at least to me) impossible to read. OK, that was rantlike, maybe I'll edit it later on, but to summarise: [SIZE=5][B]+[/B][/SIZE] [LIST] [*]micro setting info [*]maps [*]new monsters and NPC's with background [*]background and development info for pretty much every NPC [/LIST] [SIZE=6][B]-[/B][/SIZE] [LIST] [*]Some graphics below normal PF quality [*]most of rest (in Rise of the Runelords) not really my type [*]CRAZY* amount of treasure (again, p1 RoR) [/LIST] *Seriously, freaking crazy. I thought that it was a lot in the first town, but the part in the Head Island (yeah, it was awhile ago. The goblin settlement on top of huge statue's head) - are you [I]kidding[/I] me? I had to flip back to check what PC levels it was for, they could've bought a city or two with that amount of cash. All in all - I liked Game Mastery modules better, but I'll buy some of AP solely for additional data, either to fill up my order (prints) or if I don't buy anything for awhile online - pdf's directly from Paizo.
