Adventure Path Modules-I think that's what there called

Hello,
Does anyone know where I can find the titles of the modules put out by wizards that make up the adventure path. I know the first one is Sunless Citadel, but I need to know the rest.

Thanks

That looks like all of them, although I didn't buy any after Deep Horizon.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Dire Kobold is publishing an adventure path series this year, written by yours truly. :D More details at http://www.direkobold.com

For anyone who's actually played these modules (or DMed them), are they actually linked at all? I have a couple of them, and I haven't read them thoroughly, but I couldn't figure out how they were linked...

I know some of the Kalamar modules are linked (is it just the first three, or are the others linked as well?).


Thanks
Chris
 

I've played Sunless Citadel, Forge of Fury, and Heart of Nightfang Spire. There are a few names that keep coming up, and I believe by the last one there are some plot things resolved.

But they aren't like sequels, and the DM will have to do a little work to get the characters from one to another. Wulf's story hour goes through all these modules - seeing how Dinkeldog connected them might be illuminating. Plus its a good read :).
 

Connections... Definate spoilers

I own all of these modules, and have played through 6 of the 8, so I might as well offer up my two cents.

Sunless Citadel links to Nightfang Spire links to Bastion of Broken Souls. These are almost direct links. If/when the PCs destroy the Gulthais Tree in Sunless, it frees the vampire Gulthais who goes back to his home base in the Spire, and the Spire's evil is fueled by the heart of Ashardalon, a great wyrm red dragon -- the selfsame red dragon you face off against in the final module.

The Forge of Fury has a quasi-link to Lord of the Iron Fortress. The Forge is Durgeddin's old forge, and Durgeddin is one of the souls captured and forced to work on the Artifact weapon in the Fortress, and the Big Bad Guy in Fortress is Imperagon, one of Ashardalon's sons from mixed mating.

Lord of the Iron Fortress has a link to the Standing Stone. I can't remember his name right now, but the tiefling in Stone is creating a servitor race for... guess who? Why, Imperagon from Fortress, who's going to be using that badass artifact weapon when he tries to take over a world. And Standing Stone has to link to Bastion, because that tiefling's working for two masters. The OTHER one is a baddie in Bastion and if they don't torch the tieflings things they come upon correspondence from this baddie.

Speaker in Stones doesn't reaaaaaly have much of a tie in to anything at all as relates to the overall storyline, except that you'll be meeting more illithids in Fortress and wouldn't it be really -interesting- if the illithid from Speaker gets away in the end and the PCs come face to face with him in the Fortress?

Deep Horizon has absolutely *zero* impact on the overall storyline. Zip, zilch, nada. It's there so the PCs can play with underdark foo. Easily replaced with something else you like better (if you like. It's not a bad module and I do plan to run it some other time).

All in all, it's a very interwoven set of modules with a really nifty overarcing storyplot. My group is finishing up Iron Fortress, then it's on to Bastion, and from there to epic adventures of my crafting.
 

Hi beldar1215

Since GenLangs post contains some major spoilers, perhaps a spoiler warning edited into the subject title would be in order?

Cheers
 

more SPOILERS

I think there are a couple of other links. Nightfang Spire has the corpse of an elf that fled the Standing Stone area.

A map to an abandoned dwarven stronghold is found in Sunless Citadel -- that's clearly a reference to the Forge of Fury.

IIRC, somewhere there is a reference to the destroyed drow city (Chael-Rendar?) in Deep Horizon. That might be from a Dungeon adventure, or one of WotC's free PDFs -- ISTR seeing something in one of those sources that referred to some thing(s) from the Adventure Path.

The druid that created the Standing Stones is the druid that destroyed Ashardalon the first time, and one of the PCs is (per the adventure's suggestion) revealed as that druid's descendant in Bastion.

It would be easy to add more links -- for example, some of the undead from Nightfang Spire could be more former grugach refugees. The duergar from the Forge could be servants of Imperagon. Imperagon could be allied with the salamanders from Deep Horizon (thanks, Dinkledog :) ). As someone else said, Gharleth Axom could show up in the Iron Fortress (presuming he managed to plane shift before he could be slaughtered). Axom could also be one of the Cathezar's allies (yeah, one's LE & the other's CE; they weren't friends, just allies of convenience). Shooma (from Speaker in Dreams) could be kidnapped by Imperagon's agents (LotIF might make this suggestion; I don't recall).
 

SPOILERS Ahoy!

The Speaker of Dreams has very little to do with the other modules in the series. (Although some others don't like it, it's actually my favourite of the eight!)

This actually serves a good purpose: if all the adventures are tightly connected, then "guess the enemy" is taken out of it. Occasional diversions are excellent for renewing interest.

Cheers!
