Pathfinder APs' environments

[Benoist Poiré]

Rise of the Runelords seems to have its share of wilderness adventuring, village/cities investigation and dungeon delving. Seems to be a bit of everything, in fact.

Curse of the Crimson Throne seems to be an Urban AP. True/untrue?

The third AP (what's its name again?) would be an Underdark AP. True/untrue? Something else?

Is there a pattern here showing that different Pathfinder APs will have each a focus on a particular environment?

Crimson Throne's first 3 adventures take place in Korvosa. Adventure 4 takes place in the Cinderlands, while Adventure 5 takes place in the Hold of Belkzen. Adventure 6 is back in Korvosa for half the time, and probably the Mushfens for a little bit more.

The third AP is "Second Darkness." It starts in the Riddleport area, and at least one of the adventures to follow will take place in the underdark.

There's not really a pattern forming... at least not intentionally... of focusing on particular environments.

Alright! Sounds like I was mistaken!

So the whole of the Pathfinder APs are going on in Varisia, so far. That's cool.

Not that it really affects my enthusiasm for Pathfinder one way or the other, mind you! So far, so great! :)

I can't wait to know more about the other APs. I like Underdark adventures a LOT, when done right.

Except, of course, we won't (because we probably can't, even if 4e's OGL is really open) call it the underdark. :)

That's okay. I don't see why it needs a name. Why can't we just say that the Drow live in caverns deep below the surface?
