My players loved Kingmaker.
It was their favorite AP so far, and I enjoyed running it. It took me back to the days when I was in high school and had the time to craft my own world and GM "on the fly".
I keep hoping to see another from Paizo. Numeria? The "Expedition to the Barrier Peaks" AP?
Is there any other published campaign (that is Pathfinder compatible), that would have the same sandbox feel?
I am aware that Fire Mountain Games is releasing Throne of Night later in the year (an underground sandbox style AP). Any others?
Thank you for any info/advice.
Razor Coast from Frog God Games is an amazing pirate sandbox campaign, but it starts at level 5. It comes with an adventure set at 1st level and some low level encounters, but it assumes characters with some level build. I will be using the first part of Skull & Shackles to get my players' characters up to level. BTW Skull & Shackles is partly sandbox as well, especially Raiders of the Fever Sea.
My group just finished Skull & Shackles and are now on part 3 of Shattered Star. The pirate AP was "ok" - but the ending had to be modified as heavily discussed in the Skull & Shackles thread.
I plan on running Reign of Winter next, so I have some time. I'm crossing my fingers that Paizo comes through with their announcement at Paizocon regarding the next AP (neither I or my players have any interest in the Worldwound AP). Otherwise, I believe Throne of Night will be the direction we go. Unless I get other advice or info.
The Slumbering Tsar campaign by Frog God Games is fully pathfinder compatible and is a massive sandbox exploration of a ruined temple city dedicated to Orcus as well as the surrounding wilderness. Their Rappan Athuk mega-dungeon very much sandbox style as well. The only issue I have is that they both focus predominantly on one location, though the location is huge and diverse in the sorts of encounters that it serves up.
FYI- Slumbering Tsar is written entirely by Greg Vaughn, so if you like his work then you would want to check it out.

I ran Rappan Athuk back in the days of Necromancer Games. Good stuff.
I'll take a look at The Slumbering Tsar. I really enjoy Greg Vaughn's stuff.
Thanks.

The first booklet of Slumbering Tsar is a free download on their website, but it only just barely scratches the surface. The entire campaign is hundreds of pages, and you can get it all as one big book (kind of like Rise of the Runelords), but it's a bit pricey.
If you liked Rappan Atthuk then you'd probably like Slumbering Tsar.
Why dont you make your own? :)Time.
Then you should go and check out Razor Coast. :)
Having just finished playing Skull & Shackles, I can safely say that AP is easily turned into a sandbox campaign, as so much of it clan be played almost any order.
Thanks for all the input. I have placed my money on the Throne of Night kickstarter. It looks to be exactly what my players are wanting.
Firstbourne,
We greatly appreciate your support!

Can't wait to start Throne of Night.
