D&D 5E AP's for 5th edition

[evil homer]

This may or may not be appropriate here. If not please forgive and I'll move on. I've recently moved and found a new group. We are interested in giving 5th edition a shot. I'll be DMing. I;ve been consistently impressed with the quality of the Paize AP's and have chosen to run my game in Golarion so I was thinking about running an AP to kind of get our feet wet. I don't mind the conversion work.

Recommend to me an adventure path in the context of converting it to 5th edition. Thus far I'm considering:

Rise of the Runelords
Legacy of Fire
Mummy's Mask
Curse of the Crimson Throne
Council of Thieves (Try it as an urban sandbox maybe?)
Anything else I should consider?

Thanks for your consideration.

Rise of the Runelords is great, I have also ran Mummy's Mask and it was pretty darn good too, both would be easy to convert I would imagine.

I am currently running the pathfinder mega dungeon The Emerald Spire on roll20 and like it a lot using 5e.

Honestly they are all going to be about the same difficulty converting which isn't going to be much, I do most of mine on the fly.

IMO Runelords is the classic AP - if your group has not played it yet you can't go wrong. Plus there is a partial 5E conversion for Runelords (at least the first couple of books) online. I don't have a link but a Google search should turn it up.

In case you weren't aware, there are reviews for all the Paizo APs on this site (under the "Review It" tab). That should give you a good idea of which ones people like and dislike.

If you like Oriental Adventures or journey based adventures, Jade Regent is a fun one. It revisits a town from Rise of the Runelords at the start, heavily featuring some of the same NPCs. The journey runs through Viking, Arctic, Mongolian, and Japanese inspired areas along the way.

I am finishing up chapter 5 of 12 of Age of Worms. The conversion from 3.5 has been simple, although I do more bookkeeping ahead of time just because this is my first campaign, and I am not an experienced DM yet. One of the biggest problems, that the undead are immune to rogue backstabs, is removed by 5e. It also has a really good 1st level adventure. Paizo wrote it as well.

As I get further along, I will also be publishing conversion documents for the chapters.

If you are converting from 3.5, I would recommend that treasure value get divided by 10 to fit into 5e.

I just finished chapter 2 of Age of Worms. Conversion from 3.5 is pretty easy.

Rise of the Runelords is probably the cheapest and most expensive at the same time.
Because you can get the Anniversary Edition, you can get the entire AP in one volume (and revised to incorporate feedback). Plus you can get a wealth of accessories to improve the game like flip mats, face cards, item cards, map packs, a metal amulet, the card game, and more. In addition to the wealth of community created content.
If you have the cash, I believe you can still get the collector's edition from paizo.com, and it is beautiful beyond words.

Slightly less accessory heavy but still convenient are the 3.5e APs like Shackled City and Age of Worms, which I hear are quite good.

I've just started a 5E Reign of Winter campaign. So far so good (though we've only played one session so far).

I just checked the paizo.com website. The Anniversary Edition of Rise of the Runelords is $60 for the hardcover. The Deluxe Collector's Edition is also available and it is $200.

Night Below is one I want to run.
It's a whole AP in one box.
It's for AD&D with some conversion from Basic D&D, I think. It's been awhile since I looked.
But, I've only ever run about 3 levels into it and I would really like to go all the way and 5E looks like it could make the conversion easy for me.
