I enjoyed the plot and the use of the gaming ideas in the back of the book But seriously why is she dressed that way?
Pathfinder pulled me into the worlds of both comics and tabletop RPGs I was out of state on a business trip and Googled a used bookstore to have something to do on the weekend and found a store with 1 comic books When I came across several volumes of this fantasy series I decided to check them out I'd heard of the game but wasn't really expecting much from the comics I was pleasantly surprisedThis introductory chapter of Dark Waters Rising the first arc of the comic series introduces you to the main cast My immediate favorites were Valeros the human fighter and Merisiel the elven rogue The story opens with them battling a pack of rhyming goblins and afterward they head to a tavern to drink ale and brawl with other patrons The characters all have distinct voices and you can appreciate the class based gaming elements evident in their fighting styles
I'm still in disbelief that the writer of my favourite Wayward wrote this tripe Cliché boring predictable it shows why roleplaying games don't translate well into comicbooks the strength of RPgs is their interactivity and the skill of their players and usually story is left as an afterthought DD clones like Pathfinder so as they focus mostly on the traditional Go to X place beat a monster until it drops its lunch money But stripped off player agency and creativity it shows how often its stories and settings are just middling level material
The comic itself is decent but the real treat is the second half of the book which turns the comic into a mini Pathfinder module
