New Pathfinder Adventure Path is here!

Are you ready to sail the ocean blue, you swashbucklin' scallywag? The latest Pathfinder Adventure Path is here, and it's time to head down to the sea and sky!

Captured on the streets of the notorious haven of Port Peril, your PCs are press-ganged into the life of a pirate in the first part of the Skull & Shackles Adventure Path! In "The Wormwood Mutiny," you'll be forced to do all the grunt work that needs to be done on a sailing ship—swabbing the decks, cleaning the bilges, repairing sails—but you'll also learn how to capture vessels! Filled with a crew of faces that you'll never forget (and some you'll love to hate, like the whip-happy Master Scourge), this adventure will show you the darker side of life on a pirate ship—but with the capture of a Rahadoumi merchant ship, you'll get your chance to break free from the villainous captain! But the twisting seas around the isles of the Shackles and the monumentual hurricane of the Eye of Abendego are not kind to sailors fresh out of port, or those unable to read the wind and the waves.

Besides the adventure written by Richard Pett, this volume of the Skull & Shackles Adventure Path also includes the plunder and infamy subsystems. One of the fun features of thie infamy subsystem is the ability to spend your Disrepute to gain impositions. Impositions give all of the PCs exciting new choices, such as the ability to cast a useful spell like fog cloud or make whole, or for the truly infamous, the ability to submerge your ship! The Pirate Queen herself, the goddess Besmara, gets a full writeup of what she expects from her adherents, and we have a nautical tale, "The Treasure of Far Thallai" penned by author Robin D. Laws!

Finally, of course, we have the bestiary for this issue, featuring creatures like the water-loving tidepool dragon (and yes, you can get it as a familiar), a bevy of exotic fauna for pet-loving characters, the body-stealing incutilis, or the herald of Besmara, the living ship Kelpie's Wrath!

Questions about Pathfinder Adventure Paths:

1.) Of the 11 Adv. Paths listed on the website, which ones are still available for purchase?

2.) In what order were they released?

3.) Which ones are the best ones? (I realize that's a very subjective question, but I'd like to see a general consensus.)

4.) Do I need any other Pathfinder resources to use the Adv. Paths (aside from the basic game books)?

1. All are available in PDF, and all except a few Rise of the Runelords episodes are available in print. RotRL is getting a hardcover reprint soon, so it's no biggie.

2. See here. Up to Legacy of Fire the APs were written under the 3.5 ruleset, from Council of Thieves on they're all for Pathfinder ruleset. Conversions from 3.5 are generally easy and are available on forums.

3. There's a popular opinion that Curse of the Crimson Throne, Rise of the Runelords and Kingmaker are finest.

4. Depending on the AP you will need Bestiaries, APG, UM and UC. All the resources needed to run APs are available for free online as part of Pathfinder Reference Document (PRD).
