According to Roll for Combat review, Pact Worlds has the most to offer for Game masters who write their own stories. Content within may overlap with official Paizo Adventure Paths.[4] D20diaries praised artwork as "awesome" and "consistently spectacular". One critic was disappointed by lack of vehicles in the equipment section.
