I had the pleasure of reading this before he submitted it and as someone who also went through this type of loss I was in tears at the end of my read through. Once again Anthony created a beautiful piece of work that touches the heart of a top we rarely talk about.

I was a backer on this project over on Kickstarter and I absolutely love the idea of being able to create anything and everything your heart desires when it comes to unique and creative races. It has already helped me with balancing the flying mechanic on one of my races that I am creating for a suppliment.

I would highly encourage everyone to purchase this, especially those that love homebrew. You can tell that so much love and dedication has gone into producing this suppliment piece. It is a must have.

Just ran this with a APL 8 party. Love the fact that you can possibly get through the whole module without a single combat encounter but the group was doing so well on time that I decided to run the optional one. Ran it at strong but they could have definitely used the Very Strong and would have done fine. Also I probably could have surprised them by having the enemies with ranged attacks fire off a volley before initative started.

Other things... I liked how the modules allows the DM to impose the different checks to get four successes in the tavern. I did a drinking competition (dwarves), dice game (the pirates), riddles with the merchant, singing contest with the bard and was going to do something between the love birds but my party had 4 checks so it was unnecessary.

Overall really love it. Only reason didn't give it 5 stars is I haven't had a chance to run the cave encounters yet so going to hold off on a full rating.

Going to run the second part here soon but really loving the piratey feeling adventures. Need more of those.
