Yesterday with a new gaming group we went through the first book of the Carrion Crown Adventure Path. It was a difficult adventure but a lot of fun. I really liked the creepiness build up and the small events that happened around the town. The different haunts in the prison was also well done. Plenty of creepy encounters to keep the players guessing. I liked the five big villains and the way they made them different. It was not the same thing with each of them.
The downside I think was it could have used more. Some of the first books of AP's seem like they take a long time and others like this one we move through very quickly. The trust mechanics was disastrous but I knew that and didn't use it. I just showed how the PCs actions allowed different NPCs to start trusting them and being nicer to them. It was close as during the funeral the rogue of the group was going to knife some of the farms that were stopping the funeral. Thankfully, both clerics rolled better on initiative and where able to get a peaceful resolution.
Anyone go through this one? What do people think of it?
