This month brings a double dip of Pathfinder adventure path action as well as a new flip-map for the RPG from Paizo Inc. Here’s the details on the major releases slated to hit stores in late March.
Pathfinder Adventure Path #174: Shadows of the Ancients (Strength of Thousands 6 of 6)
Save the Magaambya! The heroes return to the Magaambya magic academy to find the villain they’d vanquished on a distant planet had set another scheme in motion long ago. Students and teachers have been twisted by evil magic, and the heroes must engage in legendary tests to gain the means to free them. While a monstrous foe thrashes through the Magaambya, it’s up to the heroes to save the school from utter destruction!
“Shadows of the Ancients” is a Pathfinder adventure for four 18th-level characters by Saif Ansari. This adventure concludes the Strength of Thousands Adventure Path, a six-part, monthly campaign in which the heroes rise from humble students to influential teachers, and ultimately decide the fate of the Magaambya. This adventure provides guidance to tell stories that are like fables or set in truly unusual adventure locations, and concludes with a look at powerful monsters, magic, and abilities that only the mightiest Magaambyan heroes can claim!
Each monthly full-color softcover Pathfinder Adventure Path volume contains an in-depth adventure scenario, stats for several new monsters, and support articles meant to give Game Masters additional material to expand their campaign. Pathfinder Adventure Path volumes use the Open Game License and work with both the Pathfinder RPG and the world’s oldest fantasy RPG.

Pathfinder Adventure Path #177: Burning Tundra (Quest for the Frozen Flame 3 of 3)
The Broken Tusks find sanctuary at last in the settlement of Hillcross, but invading frost giants quickly force the clan’s scouts to lead their mighty following’s defense against the siege and take on new titles. To put a stop to the slaughter, the newly named Mammoth Lords take the fight to their foes by riding their bestial mounts through the sucking muck of the Tamarnian Tar Forest. At the heart of these black woods, amid the ruins of a half-sunken crusaders’ castle, the heroes wield the sacred light of the Primordial Flame to defeat their ancient enemies once and for all.
“Burning Tundra” is a Pathfinder adventure for four 8th-level characters. This adventure concludes the Quest for the Frozen Flame Adventure Path, a three-part monthly campaign in which the heroes lead a band of nomadic hunter-gatherers across a brutal primordial landscape. This adventure also includes a gazetteer of the mountain meeting grounds called Hillcross; megafauna animal companions and ancestral gear that complement the new Mammoth Lord character archetype; and new prehistoric creatures to befriend or bedevil your players.

Pathfinder Flip-Mat: Shattered Dungeon
In the wake of terrible disaster, some dungeons survive as shattered ruins destined to become infested by all sorts of monsters! This line of gaming maps provides ready-to-use and captivatingly detailed fantasy set pieces for the busy Game Master. The next time your party follows up on a rumor about an ancient, partially collapsed dungeon when seeking strange treasures and stranger dangers, these maps have you covered with two different underground ruins!
A special coating on each Flip-Mat allows you to use wet erase, dry erase, AND permanent markers with ease! Removing permanent ink is easy—simply trace over any permanent mark with a dry erase marker, wait 10 seconds, then wipe off both marks with a dry cloth or paper towel. Each Flip-Mat measures 24″ x 30″ unfolded, and 8″ x 10″ folded.
On tabletops across the world, the Flip-Mat Revolution is changing the way players run their fantasy roleplaying games! Why take the time to sketch out ugly scenery on a smudgy plastic mat when dynamic encounters and easy cleanup is just a Flip away?
