Pathfinder Module: The Emerald Spire Superdungeon Hardcover – July 15, 2014

This was my first and only module/AP that I have ran. I do plan to run more in the future, but home brewing seems to be easier to prep for in some cases.In the module it does not state how you are supposed to introduce the players to the setting, or how you are supposed to get them to choose between two factions at the beginning of the game without metagaming or breaking the fourth wall. I understand that this is a dungeon crawl that happens to have a city nearby, and maybe none of the modules have a way to introduce players, but as a first time DM that stumped me and I feel made session one absolute garbage.

My husband loves all things D&D. He had been talking about this super dungeon so I thought I would surprise him. He loves it. The only complaint I've heard about it is that there's no back story of why you're in the dungeon or how you got there. But I would guess the players could make that up themselves. I don't know anything about this stuff he seems to really be excited about this dungeon.

Began running this recently and it's a lot of fun. Interesting enough setting to add some intrigue and exploration outside of the dungeon. A bit combat intensive, so much RP aside from the very beginning will require extra effort on the GM.

I think the quality of the product is amazing and the dungeon is great. My only concern is you need to buy the cards that go along with the module to have a reason for the pcs to go there. This is just the description of the levels and the inhabitants, with no plot. With the history of the area there should be a reason for the adventure, not just treasure. Ive seven that some better.

Solid book for pre canned adventure. I only wish the levels and challenges went beyond low levels.

A very well written module. My players liked it a lot. Even if you don't use the story the maps and enemies are good as well to use in your own game.

My only complaint is that the monsters ate not all included in the book.

Can’t wait to try this game out.

Have been taking my group through this. It’s a great adventure written by some great writers. Only a few minor editing issues, but nothing major.

I like that there were numerous authors, and well respected names of the role-playing industry at that, each involved in the writing of this mega dungeon. Each author was given a word count and a layer of the dungeon, along with a set map size. The Emerald Spire gives the adventure its' name, and that is the feature which ties each layer together.With a certain word count and a standardized map size, each author has focused on whatever they choose. Some have focused on the environment of their layer. Another spent a lot of time on an in-depth trap. Each author gives their layer of the dungeon its' own feel, which helps to mix things up a bit rather than having the same thing repeat over and over.Using the included town, run by the Hell Knights makes the adventure a bit of challenge, with their 'tax' on whatever has been retrieved. Essentially the party has reduced resources, if they play the adventure safe... or they risk the wrath of a numerous and well organized opponent who runs/owns the only safe harbor in the region. Each adventure has challenges that push the players; this mechanic really works well to increase the challenge level of the Emerald Spire.I'd recommend the map set, which is sold separately (exclusively on the Paizo site). While expensive, it is very high quality and really showcases the dungeon.

Il Module qui oresente funge da campagna in puro stile "EUMATE": i PG avranno a che fare con un dungeon abbastanza profondo, ed ogni livello ospita i suoi abitanti ostili con tanto di trappole e tesori. Ogni livello di dungeon è ben dettagliato e ha le sue caratteristiche ambientali.Emerald Spire Superdungeon è consigliatissimo a quei gruppi che sono stanchi dalle investigazioni e fasi interpretative di gioco, e preferiscono semplicemente darci dentro com le build dei loro personaggi e avanzare di livello. Inoltre, è possibile prendere questi dungeon ed inserirli nelle proprie campagne

Este libro esta en los planes de la editorial para ser traducido castellano pero no tiene fecha de publicacion.Campaña de la vieja escuela y muy concentrada. Niveles muy pequeños y cada uno con su propia personalidad. Lo que empieza siendo una limpieza de rutina en unas ruinas termina desembocando en una aventura epica.Preparada para comenzar desde niveles bajos,Si no tienes problemas con el ingles (rolero) y lo ves a buen precio compralo

Been playing for months. Very worth the investment of getting the book. Really helps with world building. And I won't be going back to pdfs. The run its self is really well laid out for the dungeon and open for influence and creativity in the town
