I was trying to say "lee-RAH-loo-RAY," but I stumble over it every. Single. Time.

I'm wondering what Pathfinder's equivalent to Keep on the Borderlands might be - Paizo's scenario that has been played by the most people over the years. I assume that it's either Burnt Offerings, Crypt of the Everflame, a Society scenario, or The Fall of Plaguestone, but what was your first? Which ones do you hear about the most? (For the record, mine was The Wormwood Mutiny, which I ran after years of playing in someone's homebrew sandbox.)
Do any of these fellow officer NPCs have larger, scripted roles in any of the future volumes? Or are GMs more-or-less free to drive them like stolen cars?
I want to make an old-fashioned rumor table for Skull & Shackles, to provide the PCs with some foreshadowing (and some outright incorrect information) early in the game. Doling these rumors out could serve as additional incentive for the PCs to mingle with the rest of the Wormwood's crew during nighttime ship actions. Ideally I shouldn't have more than twenty, so they can all be "on the table" by the end of Chapter 1. (Fishguts has probably heard them all, when he's sober enough to share.) I might also include an achievement to unlock: once the PCs have heard all the rumors, they can attempt Knowledge (local) checks about the Shackles untrained. The "Mysteries of the Shackles" section of Chapter 4, and the items from the inside back covers, are good, but I'd like to keep my focus specifically on things that will come up in the Adventure Path itself. My initial thought is to have five categories of rumors:
I'll share them as I come up with them, and gladly welcome any contributions or other ideas anyone else can provide.
In Dungeon #116's 30 Greatest Adventure list, John Rateliff mentions that X2 Castle Amber has spawned "not one, but two sequels." I know about Mark of Amber. What's the other one? Yours,
