[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 5067739, member: 17691"] Thanks for the responses. Good insight.Hm. Two votes for Crimson Throne. I have to admit that I've been playing through the first module of this AP in a PbP campaign and, although the initial setup is rather elegant and I've been having a lot of fun with the campaign, I can't figure out the unifying theme of the module. It appears, in my own limited experience, to be a series of unrelated mini-quests with nothing besides the PCs and their patrons to tie it all together. This has left me kind of dubious about the whole A.P. Am I way off mark on this one?I'm intrigued by this one, in part because of your description but also because it's fully compliant with the new Pathfinder rules already. My players are indeed avid role-players so I'm not too worried about the play. How does it "mix things up" better than CutCT and why do you recommend skipping book 1? What would you use for the campaign start if not book 1?This A.P. sounds like the toughest sell since it appears to be entirely Arabian in feel. I'm not certain whether I or my players would take to it well or not. I'm currently playing through this A.P. myself and so am content to skip reading it altogehter. ;)Hm. Since the chief complaint I received from my players for our last campaign was that they rarely figured out what was going on until the very end, it seems I should skip this one altogether if what you're saying is accurate.They are. ;) I don't suppose anyone's got an opinion about the Kingmaker A.P. yet, eh?
