Prince with a Thousand Enemies's page

Friends,

I seek your help in identifying whether the community has created anything like an index (spreadsheet) for the Pathfinder Adventure Path maps.

I collected Pathfinder 1e from 2011 – 2019 and would like to quickly assess whether I can adapt a map for my new campaign. Before I start from scratch, I thought that one of us might have already endeavored something like (or better) than what follows:

• Product Code Line No. Adventure Path Title Map Page Notes
  
• PZO9061 PAP 61 Shattered Star Shards of Sin Magnimar 12 noting various "leads" and locations
  
• PZO9061 PAP 61 Shattered Star Shards of Sin Natalya's Hideout 20 shack
  
• PZO9061 PAP 61 Shattered Star Shards of Sin The Crow 26 4-level "piling" (tower)
  
• PZO9061 PAP 61 Shattered Star Shards of Sin The Crow - Catacomb 36 2-levels w' dungeon
  
• PZO9061 PAP 61 Shattered Star Shards of Sin Thassalonian Laboratories 42 24 rooms

(PS – I can't figure out how to correct the column spacing, but hopefully the above gives you a sense of what I seek.)

I am developing an orphanage of Pharasma in Ustalav for my campaign and seek thoughts about (and citations to published) orphanages elsewhere in Golarion.

If you recall a particular orphanage (or would like to describe one that you've developed), please share it.

I read this thread, which religions are most likely to build orphanages, which was useful, but I thought to start a new thread because I am particularly interested in learning about specific published orphanages. For example, Rule of Fear, at page 23, discusses an unnamed orphanage in the town of Ardagh, County Odranto.

(After rereading Rule of Fear, I plan to review the Carrion Crown AP and then search through the ISWG, but I thought the subject might interest others.)

My thought sketch of a particular orphanage of Pharasma follows:

In a land haunted by its ruined past, this orphanage is well known amongst the Ustalavic nobility as a discrete place to hide their indiscretions. Overseen by its abbess and staffed by clergy, midwives, and other oblates of the Pharasmin Penitence, the orphanage tirelessly trains its wards to promote Kavapesta's penitential doctrine that suffering in this world balances the scales of judgment toward one's benefit in the afterlife. Contingent on their talents, orphans are raised to know their place in Ustalav as clergy, inquisitors, common warriors, etc. -- all in service to the Lady of Graves and her church in Ustalav. Every so often, however, a noble family requires an orphan's return to the family, which the abbess is willing to accommodate in exchange for adequate tithing or bequests.

Perhaps with this incentive in mind, the abbess and her oblates work hard to ensure the safety of all their charges, and to inculcate their sincere devotion to the teachings of Sister Sorrow and her servant on Golarion, Bishop Bavhulameta Ulametria of Cryptgate Cathedral. Accidents happen, of course, and injury amongst the wards often results from their many feuds: very few of them know of their noble bastardy, yet some suspect the truth of their strange situation, and the remainder split between youthful rebellion against the self-mortification that the abbess promulgates, or stoic obeisance to it.

I plan to begin playing PFS soon and would like to hear OOC suggestions regarding faction selection and how factions interact with gameplay.

Specifically, would it be useful to learn what factions are popular or prevalent in one's region? Could choosing a locally popular faction make for a more enjoyable game experience? Can PCs cooperate as they seek to accomplish their faction missions, or is every PC on their own? Etc.

Based on my character concepts, I have a few factions already in mind (Andoran, Sczarni, and Silver Crusade), but if possible, I'd like to glean a sense of how the choice might impact gameplay.
