Warning: This review contains spoilers Written from a GMs perspective I ran this for 7 PCs I ran the Pathfinder re-released version In A History of Ashes feels like a critical turning point in the Curse of the Crimson Throne adventure path where enemies and objectives start to become clear and the PCs begin to truly march toward their ultimate goal. This turning point is handled superbly in one of the best written chapters of the adventure.

Warning: This review contains spoilers Written from a GMs perspective I ran this for 7 PCs I ran the Pathfinder re-released version Escape From Old Korvosa is another strong chapter in the Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path. For my table, everything ran very smoothly and I was very close to giving this five stars. However, I held back from giving it a perfect score due to a few obvious flaws that I was able to avoid, but that could cause a lot of trouble for other game masters if they ran the book exactly as written.

Warning: This review contains spoilers Written from a GMs perspective I ran this for 6 PCs I ran the Pathfinder re-released version Curse of the Crimson Throne is an adventure path that is mostly advertised as an urban adventure filled with political intrigue. Seven Days to the Grave is a clear case where the adventure path effectively achieves exactly what it set out to do. Korvosa is beginning to fall apart and everywhere something seems to be going wrong. Still, the adventure does a great job of giving the PCs plenty to do and not instilling the sense of hopelessness that can sometimes infect this type of game.

Warning: This review contains spoilers. Written from a GM's perspective. I ran this for six players, using the re-released version for Pathfinder. I've always heard great things about Curse of the Crimson Throne. However, the fact that my 3.5 experience was limited to only a couple of adventures as a player was somewhat of a deterrent. Since converting the whole thing wasn't something I really wanted to do, this adventure path got put in the backlog of things I might run some day. So, naturally I was thrilled when they announced that they were re-releasing the whole campaign for Pathfinder. Curse of the Crimson Throne immediately came out of the backlog and jumped right up to the top of the list of things I wanted to run. and having completed the first installment, I feel that the adventure mostly lives up to the hype. |
