I am extremely excited about this series. I loved the first two series and now they're doing an adventure I've actually played (badly).
Roll on January.

Yes! More Pathfinder! I will preorder this, but am I the only one who preferred the one-hour episodes from Rise of the Runelords to Mummy's Mask?
I listened to both series pretty well back-to-back and enjoyed the more-compressed episodes of series 1. I thought the narration by Ezren to keep skipping ahead to keep the plot flowing (especially in the final episode) added to the "Legends" feel.
In series 2 there were many times where I felt like the plot was not moving fast enough as we listened to every difficulty and conversation.
Maybe I liked how the more-compressed, more-legend-less-novel feel made the range different to Big Finish's Doctor Who output. Maybe it was like a fantasy equivalent of The Liberator Chronicles?

I think the pacing problems in Mummy's Mask had more to do with the story being adapted than the two hour format. Although I could be wrong.
I will wait and see how CotCT (which is closer in structure to RotRL) feels before passing final judgement.

I apologize if it came out that way. |

I apologize if it came out that way. It didn't come out that way. I was broadly agreeing with you that the pacing in parts of mummy's mask felt off. I was just suggesting that the length might not be the cause. (I'm hopeful that's the case) |

Rise of the Runelords was great.The main feature being the banter and bickering between our intrepid heroes as they ward-off the forces of necromancy and the supernatural.But the one hour slot did give the stories a sense of being rushed,it was a lot of stuff to cram into an hour.Not so the 2nd series which has a two hour slot.This gives the writers more scope and allows the story to unfold at a slower pace,allowing for more detail which I personally like better.For my money slower as the pace is , it is never boring!!!

For my money slower as the pace is , it is never boring!!! Didn't say it was boring either (it really wasn't) just that in a few places the pacing was wrong (sometime it skipped over things too quickly - eg the departure of tetasura - other times it dragged a bit - eg the vault of air). It wasn't bad enough to ruin the story and I think the transitory nature of the villains might have been partially to blame. {Spoiler}
Given that one of the later book's "big bad" is on the cast list for Edge of Anarchy, I suspect there will be more continuity this time. |
