Next the travel to another town, this section focuses on the travel to the other town. This section also has stats for 4 magic items and information on the city. A few twists and turns happen including finding out more about their employer forcing the PCs to flee and get side tracked. Now the PC's hang out in the city for awhile while the employer works out the deal for his daughter. Which was escorting a man to exchange a spear for his daughter. This picks up right where the first part left off. This section has background on the adventure, overview, a bit about Kaidan the land the adventure is set in, which is a Oriental Horror setting. It starts with a cover, credits, and ToC. There is lots of source content embedded in the campaign module not just bestiary but also maps and locations of interest.Ĭurse of the Golden Spear: Dim Spirit by Rite Publishing What could be considered as side-adventures really play into the setting’s design, regardless of the campaign storyline, which I see as the true motivator for those wanting to play Dim Spirit.ĭim Spirit is not only an excellent addition to the Curse of the Golden Spear campaign but is also a great book for GMs looking to use the Kaiden setting for adventures and campaigns of their own. Additionally, those looking to expand on the content they have surrounding the Kaiden setting would benefit from Dim Spirit as well. It essentially becomes part sourcebook as well.įor those looking to continue the Curse of the Golden Spear campaign, Dim Spirit is essential. The storyline continues to move forward as expected, but this deeper connection with the setting gives the setting itself more depth adds new value (and potential) to the campaign (outside of the given storyline). You get a new look at what’s possible in Kaiden including a new race and playable class archetype (found in the appendix). Dim Spirit brings out more of the setting as the player characters move along in that overarching storyline. The Curse of the Golden Spear storyline becomes the overarching storyline within Dim Spirit rather than the direct storyline. The main content is easy to read with a simple and solid layout and presentation. The bestiary illustrations are even more beautiful than the maps and really bring the appeal of this horrific setting to life. There are five maps that I absolutely love, especially the 3-d rendered map of a small village in the woods. However, do not let these little things detract you from the content and beautiful illustrations found in Dim Spirit. For example, I find two of the stat blocks within the Appendix to be much easier to read than those in the main content and a couple of the illustrations overlap the page’s frame. There are several little things (and a couple obvious ones) in Dim Spirit that stray from that track record. Rite Publishing has an excellent track record at publishing high-quality products. The campaign turns more into survival than just fantasy and the players will have to think quickly and stay on their toes. Dim Spirit accentuates that setting by expanding upon those living across the land, friendly and unfriendly. Part of what makes Curse of the Golden Spear so enticing is the uniqueness of the Kaiden setting. However, I do not want to spoil anything. The player characters are thrown deeper into the lands of Kaiden as they learn more and more about what lurks across the island. The storyline picks up exactly where it left off with the underlying plot of part 1 coming to fruition. Additional Formatsĭim Spirit continues the Curse of the Golden Spear campaign across the lands of Kaiden, an island fraught with horror and asian folklore influence. This adventure continues the story which began in The Gift, introducing players and game masters alike to the cursed realm of Kaidan. ![]() In Kaidan, demons stalk the land in human form, the dead seldom rest easy, and life is cheap. Drawing inspiration from Japanese folklore, and fully compatible with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, Kaidan is a land of horror and mystery. The second of a three part campaign, Dim Spirit is an adventure set in the cursed land of Kaidan and is suitable for a group of 6th level characters. As new horrors continue to present themselves, you must ask, do you have what it takes to survive theCurse of the Golden Spear? Kaidan is cursed, and now that you are within its borders you discover that not even death will release you from the Islands' powerful grip. Yet with the gift delivered, and the merchant's daughter rescued, your troubles are only just beginning. You came to Kaidan, escorting a merchant and the gift he carried, a gift meant for a powerful Kaidanese lord.
