State of the Swan
- In this blog post, Creighton looks back at 2010/11 and talks about his plans for 2011/12.
A Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Go Play adventure for four 3rd-level PCs
Centuries ago, the Tuath were a mighty folk who strove against the goblins of the Tangled Wood for dominion over that ancient place. Defeated by treachery and their feral, warlike enemies the Tuath’s civilisation was thrown down. Their settlements were sacked, their places of strength broken open and their holy places despoiled; the few survivors melted away into the trackless gloom of the deep forest leaving behind nothing but remnants of their once-great culture. The Road of the Dead, a ceremonial pathway representing a soul’s journey to the underworld, is one such fragment that yet lingers in the Tangled Wood awaiting the brave or the foolhardy. A cunningly designed death-trap, it hides the forgotten treasures and legends of a fallen people.

Reviews
If you’re looking for a nice, crunchy crawl that is easy to run, add half a star. If you are one of those guys who want their PCs to talk and negotiate with just about everything, subtract half a star. If you’re busy and in need of a good module to pick up and play, be sure to pick Road of the Dead up – the artwork as well as the DM-friendliness is worth your money.”
–Endzeitheist (4.5 stars)
“The art work is black and white and ranges from ok to very good. Editing and layout was good, I didn't notice any errors or problems. It is a nice simple very well done fun little dungeon crawl.”
–Dark Mistress (4.5 stars)
“Superb layout and support transforms a basic genre scenario into a strong and easy to use adventure. Raging Swan has done excellent work with Road of the Dead.”
--Sean Holland (five stars)
