I review the Pathfinder edition of the Jewel of the Indigo Isles adventure from Roll for Combat. The epic tale takes the players characters from 1st to 11th level as they set off in search of a pirate’s hidden treasure.

Is Jewel of the Indigo Isles a real gem for Pathfinder players? Or just a lump of coal? You’ll find out!

Note: You CAN access the monsters stat blocks which aren’t in the book at PF2Easy but you need to search for them individually.

SUMMARY

The review score for Jewel of the Indigo Isles should be a solid indication of the quality of the adventure seeing my very strong dislike for anthropomorphic animals in RPGs. I'm also disappointed Roll for Combat doesn't indicate anywhere you need to own the Battlezoo Bestiary in order to use the adventure, unless you plan on replacing the adversaries for dozens of encounters that is. Even with those sizable critiques, I can give the tale a recommendation because there's loads of entertainment packed into its over 400 pages.
