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!

I would LOVE to see Age of Worms come back to the modern era, for WHATEVER system. Had a lot of fun helping create that and it remains one of my career highlights. It's 100% owned by Wizards of the Coast though, so what happens with it is their choice to make. Paizo doesn't own any of it, so there's not much we can do about it. Fun side note—for a while I was jokingly calling our "Age of Ashes" Adventure Path "Rage of Wyrms." Ha.

I hope that WotC and Paizo can be friends again. I've got my fingers crossed for more 5E conversions of their adventure paths.

Why not play them in Pathfinder?

Why not play them in Pathfinder?

Eh, Pathfinder rules are a little too mathy for my tastes. (We tried running "Serpent's Skull" under Pathfinder 1E, and even at 2nd level it was too grindy and slow.) My group and I prefer the 5E rules.

PF2 is super tight and not so mathy. Not my cup of tea but if you liked 4E it might be worth a gander.

Yeah, 4E wasn't really my cup either.

Never played PF, but I have seen the number of books they have put out for the game. They are a small company, especially compared to the Hasbro/WotC/TSR. They have to make money to pay their workers, and publish product. They have already tapped into the Savage Worlds fanbase, why not the 5E?

FWIW, Pathfinder 2E is a lot less “gamey” feeling than 4E, while still incorporating some of the major innovations of that edition.

 

[Hussar]

Can anyone who has played the original module comment on how the module was in the first place? I've seen one comment about it, but, other than it's a big dungeon, that's about it.
