Vathak: A Stricken World

Welcome to the world of Shadows over Vathak, a realm of dwindling hope and rising despair. As players, your characters fight to survive in a land threatened with destruction by the rise of the ancient and evil Old Ones and their spawn. Your characters may represent points of light in the darkness or give in to wicked temptations. Most will fall somewhere in between — survivors struggling to eke out another day. Though the followers of the One True God speak of divine providence while battling the Old Ones, the sins of the Church often rival those of their enemies. In the world of Vathak, your character’s perceptions of heroes and villains is a thin line drawn by their own personal morality and, of course, determined by the victor.

In this, our Explorer’s Guide to Vathak, we condense down the expansive country of Vathak and game setting of  Shadows over Vathak into a short but concise text to introduce the uninitiated and preview all that will be available in future releases.

Does one need the Pathfinder Player's Guide for a more complete overview of Vathak?

It's not needed, but it does have a ton of setting content that can be useful and explores the world more in-depth.

One other question. Are the adventures meant to be part of a larger campaign or adventure path? Or are they more meant to be disconnected one-shots?

I love that you've thrown the followers of the One True God in to the mix! I don't know why that's so rare in gaming.

Of course, to be accurate, you need to make sure to show that the followers of the fake Moon God commit crimes which outstrip anything the world has ever seen, like introducing things to the world like genocide, religious prejudice and global domination/annihilation, as well as wide spread rape, torture and murder against anyone not of a suitable religion or sexual orientation.. including children. Sometimes the greatest monsters humanity faces are staring at it in the mirror.

I would absolutely LOVE to see a full campaign where the followers of the fake Moon God go back to their homeland and wipe the Akadians worshiping the real Moon God off of the face of the planet (as well as the Fey people, and all followers of that pantheon of gods), then go on a rampage to create an evil religious empire, all the while pushing our heroes and their brethren back in to a smaller and...See more

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
