Product Description
Fallow and abandoned for years, Bloodsworn Vale has long been a dangerous wood separating two kingdoms. A recent call-to-arms asks adventurers from around the world to establish a trade route through this dark and forboding forest. Conquest of Bloodsworn Vale is a mid-level wilderness adventure written by Jason Bulmahn that pits players against the evil fey tribes of the Vale. Only the valiant and clever can defeat the fey - but will you be clever enough to destroy their master?

Good, But It Could Have Been Better
3 Aug 2008
Format:Paperback
Ironically, I think this one might be a victim of Paizo's high quality. The background information tells an interesting and colorful story, and the adventure overall seems fun, but there is a lot that feels a little too open ended.
Its meant as a "sandbox" adventure, where X number of things need to happen before a certain timeframe, but there are X+Y things to do if the PCs wish to, and many can be done in any order the PCs wish. It makes for a fairly open, character driven adventure, but it also makes for something that can feel a little too fast and loose as well.
Also, while the fey in the adventure are fun, the main encounter with them could feel a bit more substantive than it does.
If anything, this almost feels like the opposite of recent WOTC adventures, where the adventure is a thin frame for different kinds of encounters, this one almost feels like it has a lot of interesting background and things for the PCs to do, but that the actual encounters aren't as detailed or exciting as they might otherwise be.
As I said earlier in the review though, I think that this might be a case where Paizo has set such a high standard its hard for them to always top themselves. Its a solid, fun looking adventure, and its well worth the money, its just not THE definitive "sandbox" adventure.

Nice short adventure
18 Aug 2009
Format:Paperback
The previous reviewer is right about the loseness of it all, during the adventure. However, I think that the product is high above most of what the market is made of. Personally, I missed an old-school background adventure just like a pure Gygaxian AD&D adventure. You start off with a fully detailed background, so consistency is assured, and then players do whatever they want, instead of being massively railroaded in a dungeon room after room. Of course, it is a hard adventure. When detail is needed, you have to draw from either improvisation or pre-preparation so I wouldn't recommend it for any newbie GM. Nice product Paizo, keep delivering!!!
