A fun audio format take on the "Rise of the Runelords" Adventure Path for the Pathfinder RPG. I've read the game modules, I've read the graphic novel adaptation, and now I listened to the audio book ... it is interesting to see how the story is different in each format. I feel like it suffers a little from the fact that it is essentially an action/combat setting, which doesn't translate well to audio format. Still, an enjoyable story, and well-presented . . .
I've played this campaign a few times, so I was familiar with this story, but I enjoyed the audiobook of this a great deal. It reminded me of listing to a radio-drama with the way it is performed in the audio.
Such a first level adventure! They started in a bar, they fought goblins, they went to the temple and fought skeletons. It was fun. Looking forward to see how the story and characters develop.
This one hour, full cast fantasy adventure sets the stage for what is to be an interesting six part story. Burnt Offerings has a high production quality; the actors are great, music is fitting, the sound effects are used at the right times, and it plays like a movie in your mind. The story itself is a standard affair; a group of heroes stumble upon a town in need of help. They have a goblin problem; and this cast of RPG archetypes (mage, warrior, rogue, etc.) rise to the occasion. It doesn't rei...
For those of you unfamiliar with it, Pathfinder is an iteration of the popular game Dungeons & Dragons. In recent years, there has been a trend for game sessions to be broadcast on the internet; this is quite a different thing, a scripted audio play that uses the setting of the game to tell a fantasy story. There are a few pieces of narration, delivered in character by the party wizard as he writes in his journal, but, otherwise, it's a regular full-cast audio, with sound effects, music and so o...
To sum up this audio book: the format is terrible, but the story and voice acting are above average. The format, however, kills the positives entirely. This is 'live action' audio, where multiple actors speak roles with sound effects. The problem is, there's no narrator describing the scenes, giving a bit of preamble when a scene changes, or explain where they are, who's there, and so on. It's not a narrator reading your book to you, in the way the author wrote it, it's only the character's actu...
This is an amazing audio drama. It not only has a thrilling story, amazing voice acting and immersive sound effects, but the dialogue is witty and never outstays its welcome. For people who love D&D, fantasy in general or old school radio plays, this is a must listen!
Bizarrely terrible. One cliche after another related through one dumb quip after another. I can only surmise that the author knew what he was doing and determined an audience exists for such tripe. First this is a "full cast audio adventure" and the sound effects were terrible, often making difficult to hear what was happening. Worse, however, the creators of this mess seamed to think sound effects tell a story by themselves so fights were a bunch of grunting and clanging swords, all of which wa...
