I have a new gaming group that starts play in early/mid July. I am bandying about APs for them, and I want to run Pathfinder/GameMastery, but I don't really have any players guide or something to provide them with some background. So far, the winner of my AP search is EN Publishing's War of the Burning Sky.
Granted, WotBS is great and I am already running it in an online group, I wanted to run something different for this F2F group, but I think Savage Tide (and AoW, SC) is too tough, they are new. They are itching to start, want some campaign background, and I am afraid if we have to wait another month and a half, they will decline and we will start another campaign.
How can I use Hollow's Last Hope as a lead-in for the Pathfinder AP? Are they in a fairly similar region of Varisia? Will a player's guide/campaign guide be released prior to the first adventure? BTW, this is why I loved WotBS, I was able to whet the appetites of my players prior to the first adventure coming out.
Is there a more specific release schedule for the Pathfinder adventures, the PDFs, players guides, etc, than just August 2007?
