[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 5272994, member: 7635"] All you sandboxers, out of the pool! This one's for module lovers! I'm deciding that since my time to loving craft my own adventurers is suffering to this thing called "real life" I'm going to take the plunge and try doing an adventure path for my next Pathfinder game. Thing is, I'm not sure what one to run. I have a few suggestions, mentioned below. While I'm not ready to run it yet (my current game has some life yet and I want to wrap it up properly) I want to look at what modules and materials to start buying so I can acquire them slowly, before we begin. The Initial Options [B]Kingmaker (Paizo):[/B] Paizo's latest sounds like a blast, and it rife with old-school elements, from hexcrawling to dominion management. Its also fairly easy to get in PDF or print. [B]Council of Thieves (Paizo): [/B]A more traditional AP with lots of devil elements. Still easy to get, and bonus for being PF compatible already. [B]Legacy of Fire (Paizo): [/B]Genies, armies, and a non-traditional (IE non European) setting. Would require a smidge of touch up to run in PF, but nothing serious. [B]West to Empire (Goodman): [/B]Actually, its a collection of DCCs that was suggested as an AP in #35: Gazeeteer of the Known Realm.
