JohnGaunt wrote:That depends on what you consider to be "good & unique". Useful, yes; unique, no. The table of contents indicates that the standard D&D monsters are present. No WotC property (beholders, mind flayers, etc) is in the Pathfinder Bestiary.Reviews of the book on Amazon are overwhelmingly positive. The reviews have enough details to give them more weight than fanboy praise:. . . http://www.amazon.com/Pathfinder-Rolepl ... 276&sr=8-1

It's Paizo's first AP after Dungeon magazine and Burnt Offerings is the most sought after book in it, selling for $100. It's definitely worth a read through.
astenon wrote:Hi Keith,I've asked around and come up with the following:Horror adventures: Carnival of Tears, Carrion Hill, Hangman's Noose, and Hungry Are The Dead (some of these are 3.5, but Carrion Hill is definitely PF RPG)Part of AP book #3 (The Hook Mountain Massacre) was explicitly inspired (as related in the foreward) by movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Delivered, and the Hills have Eyes.This is in addition to the haunted house in The Skinsaw Murders, and the entirety of the forthcoming Carrion Crown Adventure Path.Of note also is Dungeon Magazine #106, which had an awesome horror adventure called Tammaraut's Fate. I actually ran this, and it worked really well. The only encounter I held back a bit on were the three harpies right at the start (because three sets of saves vs their singing were hard to beat for the entire party!); a bit of bad luck could end the adventure before it begins!Regarding unique monsters, as said before the Bestiary has most of the "classic" monsters. The forthcoming Bestiary 2 will presumably have a few more. In any case, you can see what's in the Bestiary at http://www.d20pfsrd.com/ and some of the monsters from the modules and other books are also included under the "Custom Monsters" section.
puterdragon wrote:Thanks for this. I've been wondering about Pathfinder, believing it's the last 3.5 publisher. So I went looking and found copies of what seem to be early PF modules for half cover price from a retail seller. I've got them on hold for pick up. There are four, and I thik the numbers fit in the 1-10 range (including Burnt Offerings).Am I on the right track for value?
Crimsonspire wrote:#1 is the most expensive of them all, # 3 and 5 are rising but only at about 30 at the moment, 2 4 6 are still available in some distributors backstock so they tend to go for around msrp.

I would like to see a link to any auction for Burnt Offerings by itself going for $90 or $100 since the last one I see as sold on ebay went for $31 ** expired/removed eBay auction **There is at least set of 1-6 at $81 currently.
Generally, we don't reprint a lot of products. Off the top of my head, here's a list of everything I can think of that Paizo has ever reprinted, broken down by whether or not things changed between printings...Reprinted with no changes: Shackled City Adventure Path Pathfinder Adventure Path #2 Flip-Mat: Basic Pathfinder RPG GM ScreenReprinted with changes: GameMastery Campaign Workbook (switched from glued binding to spiral binding) GameMastery Critical Hit Deck (updated from 3.5 to PFRPG) GameMastery Critical Fumble Deck (updated from 3.5 to PFRPG) *Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook (now on 3rd printing, with incorporated errata for each reprint) *Pathfinder RPG Bestiary (now on 2nd printing, with incorporated errata) Kill Doctor Lucky (new player pawns, incorporated errata into rules, added "Little Dog Too" expansion) *Pathfinder Companion: Adventurer's Armory (2nd printing coming soon, with incorporated errata) Combat Pad (minor packaging changes on previous reprints; major graphic redesign coming on next reprint)Replaced with significantly different products: GameMastery Item Cards: Item Pack One, Hero's Hoard, and Relics of War—reconfigured into GameMastery Item Cards: Essentials GameMastery Flip-Mat (Squares and Hexes)—replaced with Flip-Mat: Basic GameMastery Flip-Mat: City Square—replaced with a variety of city-themed Flip-Mats GameMastery Flip-Mat: Forest Path—replaced with a variety of forest-themed Flip-Mats GameMastery Flip-Mat: Dungeon—replaced with a new Flip-Mat: Dungeon featuring a completely different design GameMastery Flip-Mat: Tavern—replaced with Flip-Mat: Waterfront Tavern (and probably other tavern-themed Flip-Mats to come) GameMastery Map Pack: Village—replaced with a variety of city-themed Flip-Mats GameMastery Map Pack: Countryside—replaced with a variety of country-themed Flip-Mats Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting—to be replaced by Pathfinder Campaign Setting World Guide—Inner SeaI *think* that about covers it...
