3.5 Adventure Path Hardback: Sunless Citadel, Forge of Fury, etc.

[Angel Tarragon]

With paizo taking Cauldron adventure path modules, combining them and releasing the whole thing as a hardback, it got me thinking. The Sunless Citadel is the first in a series of modules taking characters from 1st level to the mid teen levels. I don't own these modules, and was wanting to eventually acquire them, 3.5 'em then run the whole thing. So, if paizo or WotC combined these series of mudules, 3.5ed 'em, then published it in hardback, would I be the only one buying it? I think it would be totally awesome if this path of modules got slapped together as one then published. Thoughts?

Even though I didn't care for most of this Adventure Path, I'd buy such a hardback.

Especially if they updated them all to 3.5, and provided proper (JohnCooperian) editing.

The whole series actually takes 'em to 20th or so.

I'd probably buy such a hardback if it was updated for 3.5, although there's a few dangling plotlines that I'd like to see removed, and at least one whole module that could stand to be replaced (the underground one, Deep Horizon or something like that). But I dunno if WOTC are especially interested in doing anything with adventures. Maybe if they contracted it out.

They seem to have changed their mind on this topic; there are several adventures on WotC's release schedule for the remainder of this year. (IIRC, they had originally hoped that the third-party publishers would fill this gap, but the third-party market has moved elsewhere.)

Yeah, I like the Dungeon AP a lot better. The Dungeon AP hardcover is supposedly getting the treatment - full revision to 3.5, notes on running it in FR and Eberron, another complete adventure, and a bunch of extras (maps, more NPC info, etc).

You know, I just looked through their release schedule and didn't see any adventures (other than the DMG II which has some pre-baked encounters and the Grasp of the Emerald Claw). Where are these adventures of which you speak?

If they did this, I'd hope that they would tie the modules together a lot better and provide a much more detailed backstory

Can't find it at the moment; I read in another thread here that there were two or three coming out this year. That's what I get for trusting strange information on EN World.
