D&D 5E Paizo's 'The Abomination Vaults' Pathinder AP Coming to 5E

Paizo is set to release one of its adventure paths--The Abomination Vaults--for D&D 5E in November. The AP will be compiled as a hardcover and retail for $59.99. There will also be a Pathfinder 2E version of the hardcover.

The 3-part adventure path was originally released for Pathfinder 2E in early 2021, and is a big dungeon crawl adventure.

When the mysterious Gauntlight, an eerie landlocked lighthouse, glows with baleful light, the people of Otari know something terrible is beginning. Evil stirs in the depths of the Abomination Vaults, a sprawling dungeon where a wicked sorcerer attempted to raise an army of monsters hundreds of years ago. The town's newest heroes must venture into a sprawling dungeon filled with beasts and traps to prevent a spiteful spellcaster from rising again!

This complete compilation of the original Adventure Path campaign has been adapted to the newest version of the world’s oldest RPG. You’ve heard about the quality and depth of Pathfinder campaigns for years—now explore the Abomination Vaults yourself without having to learn a new game system!

Has it?
I thought the buzz was large? How was the reception of the monster book? Or is it out yet?

Last I heard the KS said 2020 deliver and now its maybe by this Sept 2022?

Originally slated for 2020, coming not this September, allegedly.

That said, for my bucks Paizo APs are the best around. They give me fun compelling stories and the foundation to build a better game than one I'd make on my own. YMMV.

I generally like their stories and themes and monsters and openness to having hooks you can build off of and expand or integrate into other stuff.

Their presentation of information for use at the table and for DMs to look up plot points could be taken up a notch or two. I've had some points in running Carrion Crown and Iron Gods where it felt more difficult than necessary to look up the names of NPCs or to refresh myself on different plot or story aspects.

Do you use physical copies or PDFs? I went digital and its made life a breeze since.

Both.

I was recently trying to look up who the different individual orcish lords of rust were in the middle of my online Iron Gods fantasy grounds game and it took a while to find the right place in the Lords of Rust PDF. Using ctrl-f "lords of rust" and "orc" show up as terms a lot. I knew there was a little area with a specific sidebar somewhere in the middle of the book giving a short paragraph on each named one but it was not in the bookmarks and took a bit to find in the moment.

Goodman Games needs to do a 5E conversion of Rise of the Runelords, ala their "Original Adventures Reincarnated".

...as well as Age of Worms & Shackled City!

I tend to use Brilliant in a british way more than the "Signifies intelligence" way

I still think my comment applies.

What if in the future Paizo publishes a 5th Ed. of the PCs and classes of Starfinder? It could "eat" Spelljammer, or to cause of boom for this because players are willing to create a mash-up mixing both.

“not” or “out”. A Freudian slip?
