With each AP, Paizo has learned more and applied it to the next iteration of an AP.The so-called "sandboxy" play in Kingmaker has been present in many of the other APs Paizo has done as Paizo under the OGL or under PFRGP. Hell, there is precious little in Bastards of Erebus, the first volume of Council of Thieves, that is not "sandbox" style, for example.I think this is as much marketing and spin as it is anything else. People believe they know what "an Adventure Path" is like - and so some have stopped looking at them, believing that they "already know" what they are and what they are not. That said, I think it's pretty clear that many who claim such familiarity, demonstraby don't have it.  These products have changed over the course of time -- and not by just a little.</blockquote>
