Let's Read Hells Rebels

This is a series of posts wherein I read and comment on Paizo’s Hell’s Rebels Adventure Path for the Pathfinder system. I like the Pathfinder setting, but its rules aren’t exactly my favorite, which means I’ll provide GURPS conversion notes along with the comments. As I read, I’ll try to imagine how a hypotetical party of Dungeon Fantasy delvers would fare on each scene.

This is an ongoing project. These are the posts that comprise it:

• Let’s Read Hell’s Rebels: An introduction that goes into a little more detail about my motivation and methods.

• The Player’s Guide: Where I go through all of the free Player’s Guide for this adventure path and pick a party of delvers.

• In Hell’s Bright Shadow: The absurdly named first adventure, covered in several posts.

  • Part 1: Fledglings of Silver: In which the PCs are drawn to form the core of a new resistance movement.
  • Meet the NPCs, Part 1: Descriptions and conversion notes for the NPCs met so far.
  • Part 2: Rebuilding the Ravens: In which the PCs do what it says on the title.
  • Part 3: Redactions and Revelations: In which the PCs discover the fate of the Sacred Order of Archivists.

• Turn of the Torrent: The second adventure.

  • Part 1: A Cousin’s Plea: In which the PCs set out to find a potentially useful ally. Not much meat here, but you have to start somewhere.

  • Part 2: Trouble in Old Kintargo has some layout issues, but presents three interesting missions that further the cause of the Silver Ravens.

  • Part 3: The Lucky Bones is about this huge dungeon, and I had to resort to multiple posts to cover it.
    • Part 3-1: The Lucky Bones covers the first half of the first level of the dungeon.
    • Part 3-2: Haunted Opium Den covers the second half of the first level of the dungeon.
    • Part 3-3: Flooded Hideout covers the second level of the dungeon.
  • Part 4: Conclusion covers the final “cutscene” and the main ways in which it can go off the rails due to unforeseen PC badassitude.

• Dance of the Damned: The third adventure.

  • Part 1: A council and a fish.
  • Part 2: A feast and a fort.
  • Part 3: A party for partisans

• A Song of Silver: The fourth adventure, in which the final battle for the city takes place.

  • Part 1: Taking the city a district at a time, Assassin’s Creed style.
  • Part 2: This volume’s big dungeon, the Temple of Asmodeus.
  • Part 3: The finale!
