<p>Took us 33 sessions over 19th months.</p>
<p>I thought I'd write up a summary review, thoughts, and changes I ended up making for those interested in running the AP.</p>
<p>TLDR: Great campaign overall. Had some issues with each of the book but the overall campaign they loved.</p>
<p>First our characters were:
<br />
• Varisian Magus
<br />
• Chelish Bard (Archivist)
<br />
• Mwangi Alchemist (Chirurgeon)
<br />
• Ulfen Summoner</p>
<p>I will say while this wasn't my first rpg campaign, it was my first pathfinder campaign. </p>
<p>[Spoiler omitted]</p>
<p><b>In summary through the AP was great. </b>
<br />
The things we loved.
<br />
<ul>
<br />
<li>The core NPCs from book one, and the NPCs they met in book 2.
<br />
<li> Book 3 was a great success.
<br />
<li> The whole overarching storyline was great.
<br />
<li> The epic feel of the journey across the world.
<br />
</ul></p>
<p><b>The only big complaints I had running it.</b>
<br />
<ul>
<br />
<li> Way too many NPCs, and no one wanted to leave them on the sidelines as they had all developed deep attachments to them. I would have liked a way for the NPCs to be in combat in some sort of abstract way besides being in the battle.
<br />
<li> Book 4 was high and low and felt disjoined.
<br />
<li> Tracking systems that felt like they were rushed.
<br />
<li> The Five Storms really came off as stupid. The AP as written has them sitting on their hands till the party finally arrives in Minkai, but knowing where the party is when the seal is used. It would have been nice to have a way for the Five storms to appear dangerous not incompetent.
<br />

<p>The big question is why does he feel this is important?
<br />
Does he feel like he's giving out too much gold and he can't challenge you?
<br />
Does he want a more low power game?
<br />
Etc.</p>
<p>Find out why he's doing this first and then it will be easier for all of you to figure out what you want to do.</p>
<p>Yep that may involve walking away from the game, but it is also possible he is feeling like he's trying to run a run away freight train of gold. </p>
<p>Being reasonable and rational and having a conversation is a good first step.</p>

<p>I could run First Steps, but was looking for other options for those first 3 scenarios.</p>
<p>Was thinking Crypt of the Eternal Flame but have seen some posts on the forums that it is a very tough module for 1st level characters.</p>
<p>Any suggestions from the experienced GMs would be appreciated.</p>
