I am a D&D 4e DM but I depend on Paizo for content. I think it's the best, for sure. The adventure paths are just awesome. However, will we be seeing any level 1 to 30 APs?

Perhaps one of the two APs per year can be a 16-30 AP with its own plot. Then, a DM can use it as is as a high level AP. But, it should also be structured in such a way such to be connectable to one or more of the previous 1-15 APs. In this way the 16-30 AP can be combined with a previous 1-15 AP for one grand epic 1-30 AP.

However it's done, I sure would like to see Paizo take us from level 1 all the way to level 30.

Fletch;

Good points. Indeed, that's what attracts me to Savage Tides, the variety of adventure types. I really want to get away from the serial dungeon crawls intermixed with city rest stops.

I have no illusions regarding a conversion and I have no experience so I don't have the answers. I'm hoping that I will successfully tackle each problem as it arises depending on the generic rules in the DMG. Where there are rules missing, I ma hoping to find inspiration in 3.x content and 4e-ify it.

Where there is something totally missing, such as the sea battles you mention, I'd like to bring in a simple set of sea combat rules and interject some simple tabletop wargming, which I think would be a hoot. Moreover, as a DM I can serve as an umpire which is a cool thing to have in any wargame. I can keep the usual god's eye view of the battle to myself and give the players only their own point of view of the battle.

I also plan to keep conversion notes so I can pass it on to others. In any case, we'll see how it goes.

Thanks for all the great input!

Man, I'm worse off than before :-). Basically, what I'm hearing is that each AP is great. Age of Worms sounds popular but I have heard that it is very grim all the way through. That worries me. Savage Tide sounds like all 'round fun but peters off to early. And, Shackled City sounds good too. What to do, what to do!

Thanks for the input.

What about connections between the three. If I opt to convert Savage Tides, can I still go back and do Shackled City and/or Age of Worms at a later date? I have read that the three are only very loosely connected with at most a major NPC re-appearing. But, even that can be troublesome. If I think I might game more than one of them, then should I start with Shackled City.

Having said that, my question really only applies to out-of-game player knowledge. Because the APs are so long, each AP will certainly be played using different sets of characters (barring a massive redesign of an AP to make it suitable for levels 21-30).

Hi all. I'm disappointed in how things turned out between Paizo and WotC vis-a-vis D&D 4E. I would really liked to have seen a Paizo adventure path for 4E.

I'm pretty disappointed with WotC's new AP, Scales of War. I would like to try my hand at a 4E conversion. As the three Paizo APs all start from level 1, I only need to do the one conversion for now.

Shackled City
Age of Worms
Savage Tide

Which AP is the best according to you? In which one should I invest myself? I have heard great things about all of them. Of those who played them, which was your favourite experience.

Thanks.
