Over a decade ago, I was part of a gaming group eager to play through some of the first PF1e adventures. We had a great time and made incredible memories together (the hat of disguise and the ogres! the sorceress' ancestry revealed, and the time she took to the sky in dragon form to face a marauding wyrm! the dreaded BROCCOLICH!) before the group fell apart, and naturally I wanted to get hold of those PF1e adventures (you can't capture lightning in a bottle but the bottles still have good associations...) and had good used bookstore luck

Without a good GM and the sheer chaos of an actual game, any premade adventure is gonna read as at least a little mechanistic; accepting that, these are still good modules. The tone-deaf amateurish "we wrote this in high school" material comes kinda into play in the modules, and what you'd never see while playing through them is it's baaaaad in the monster and world-building here.
