Short version: Very happy with the purchase. there is a LOT of content here for the price. My Favorite part: the wanderers!
Longer version: There's a lot to like about this Guide. I really liked the Quest Tracker. I've been keeping track of quests in a note on my VTT and this does a much better job of tracking the quests, where they come from, how they are completed, and the reward.
My favorite part of this guide is the wanderers. It does a great job of giving you some wanderers that tie directly into the adventure path. I have been using a tension pool system to incorporate random encounters (and random rewards!) and this will defintely help steer the encounters into a more thematic direction. I LOVE that.
the short adventures seem complete in that they outline encounters, have a map, and give a hook. My group has already passed one of the adventures, but for the 2nd one I may be incorporating.
Lastly, the full-stat blocks. This represents ~100 pages of the PDF and combines all the statblocks from the AP books, bestiaries, etc. While I personally don't benefit from this since I run on VTT, it is nice that it is there.
The great thing about this purchase though is that there's a lot of content and there should be something in here for everyone. As I said, I don't need the full stat-blocks, but I am definitely happy with everything else and think it is worth the price.
