In today's blog, James Jacobs asked us if we'd like to see any Sequels to any particular GMM. My vote:
Return of the Kobold King
(or maybe just any module with Merlokrep)
I'm not sure that any of the current GM modules really call out for a sequel, maybe "Conquest of Bloodsworn Vale." But that doesn't mean that I don't want to see additional modules set in areas where previous modules are set (more Osirion please).
J1 has got to have a sequel. I am hungry for more Egyptian style modules. How about a Desert of Desolation type series. That would be awesome.
That, my friend, is an excellent idea!

I just posted the same thing on the J1 review thread. That's a tight module and very classic.
I'm gonna have to cut my fingers off to resist developing Osirion myself.
My vote:
Return of the Kobold King
I hold Logue in high esteem, but that was a luke-warm adventure. May have been the writing order and not little Nicky's fault, though.

The Hangman's Noose I have yet to see (it isn't out yet!) but I have a feeling I'll want a sequel to that. Gallery of Evil would be nice to have a sequel with.
What I'd really also like is more things like Seven Swords, that can be fit into a currently going AP. My RotRL group is going to be running into our 7 Swords group (one of the 7 swords characters will have turned out to be a child of one of the RotRL chars!) and they might pick up some of that group as cohorts if they want to.

I agree! That blocked tunnel just has way too many possibilities...
I would also like to throw out there that Erik should be required to write an adventure soon!
Oh, and a high level adventure - even if it has to be a bit longer than the usual 32 pages.
More stuff by Stephen Greer (don't let Goodman Games take all his time), Jason Bulmahn, and Wes Schneider!

Hey, thanks for the interest! I'd love to write a GameMastery Module, and I've even got a map and an outline. Heck, I've even run the damn thing at a convention (MACE). I just haven't had the time to actually write it up into an adventure yet.
Designing the whole world (with the able assistance of the Paizo staff, of course) has taken way more time an energy than I had anticipated, and I'm working feverishly to finish that up. Once that's done (should be within a couple weeks) I'm going to take a break for a while and decide what to do next.
"The Refuge of Nex," my long-awaited GameMastery Module, will probably be pretty high on the To Do list once my brain has recovered.

My vote is for Falcon's Hollow. There are quite some loose ends from E1, the setting is really easily usable in any wilderness area, and I love the feys in these adventures.
Greetings,
Günther
This isn't exactly what you're looking for, but it might scratch that Falcon's Hollow itch until another adventure gets set there... :)

A sequel to J1 definitely - more Osirion.
AND I'm just going to throw this out there in hopes the Paizo gods are watching and listening.
The Obsidian Eye was one of my favorite Dungeon Adventures of all time. God was it awesome.
Mr. Logue truly hit upon something remarkable in that one. Sadly, he had a sequel to it called The Lightning Curse that never saw the light of day before the mag's run ended. The Lightning Curse would be perfect to set in a desert region surrounding/in Osirion. The names would have to be changed to avoid infringing on WotC's IP of course.
Mr. Logue was kind enough to talk briefly about The Lightning Curse several months back on another thread and some ideas he had for it - but if it was never submitted to WotC, and if he still has the notes/outline/whatever for it on his computer .....hm? Hm? HM?
Have to say I'd love to see a sequel to J1 as well. Personally I would love to see a whole Osirion adventure path but I've always found egypt fascinating so pathfinders take on it had me instantly intrigued. Definately want more Osirion.
A sequel to D2 involving the other swords of sins could be interesting.

I have not forgotten it and neither has Nick.
But I'll say no more right now.

I knew there was a good reason why I erected that Jeremy Walker altar in my spare bedroom, I just knew it.
*giddy*

I was thinking about digging out Gary Gygax's Necropolis for Osirion, if the need ever arises.
But, yeah, I think a sequel is a groovy idea.
Also, south of Egypt in our real world there's an interesting place called Lalibela in Ethiopia...

That must be one _disturbing_ altar.
::Shudder::
Nah, it's not that bad.
Sure, it's made out of human skin.
And I took a bunch of pictures of Jeremy.
And cut out the mouths from all the pictures.
And pasted hundreds of Jeremy mouths on the altar.
And I pretend they're always blowing kisses at me.
But it's all cool.

Gygax's Aegypt is one reference point for Osirion. The other is the book "The Sirius Mystery," by Robert Temple, which explains some of the extra-terrestrial elements of Osiriani mythology.
The lens through which to view the whole shebang is Egypt in the era of Champollion and Napoleon, when they uncovered the Sphinx and drew detailed architectural drawings of ancient ruins that had been forgotten for centuries. In particular, a book called "The Discovery of Ancient Egypt," by Alberto Siliotti. I see to my amazement that some Amazon affiliate sellers are selling this book for less than six bucks. It is grimoire-huge and is filled with colored plates of some of the most D&D locations you could possibly imagine.
Buy this book. Everyone interested in Osirion and running "Entombed with the Pharaohs" would greatly benefit from this book.
I'm not sure that any of the current GM modules really call out for a sequel, maybe "Conquest of Bloodsworn Vale."
I finally got around to reading that one the other day. I have to admit, its a damn good adventure. I'd like to see more. The old druid has way to many possibilities. The agreement with him is bound to be violated at some point or another.
With all the people raving about the osirians, I'll have to add that to my cart and pick that up the next batch of stuff I buy (just bought stuff yesterday so I'm going to have to wait a bit).

Yes, an Osirion AP. That is a great idea. That would be the Paizo Desert of Desolation type AP that I am longing for....
A desert AP would be really cool, but as for sequels to GMM I'd like a Seven Swords sequel.
Another vote for another module set in Darkmoon Vale. I'd kind of like one for third or fourth level. IIRC, there is a small (one or two) level gap between Crown of the Kobold King and Carnival of Tears. One or two more in that region would make me very happy. Especially if it was more like Hollow's Last Hope. For some reason that one remains my favorite Gamemastery Module.
Sequels...
W1: Bloodsworn Vale - more follow-ups related to successfully pushing through the wilderness and keeping that trade route open. Alternately, something that threatens the vale.
D0/D1 - push further into the dungeon/underdark - open up new frontier in that area (after D0, D1, and E1, I expect that entropy will win and it will become more and more difficult to continually impact the small down without breaking the various outcomes of the campaigns)
Those have been my favorites so far.
What would I want to revisit? ANYTHING to do with Osirion. I seriously love that module and the whole region. It hits all the right buttons with me. Awesome awesome stuff.
I just downloaded some crusty old sourcebooks from second edition called the Arcane Age series that was half setting ancient history tome and half starter set to run an ancient era campaign in a particular legendary era of the setting. I've been thinking of doing something like that with Osirion. Something like an egyption Legend of the Five Rings set in the days before the pharaohs all joined forces. Pitched it around my group and it got folks pretty excited.
The more books on old Osirion lore I can get my hands on, the more grist I have for that particular project. Heh. Oh and of course anything more on Aucturn. That's some cool stuff going there too.
So yeah, more Osirion!

Count me in...
I'd like to see more of Osirion too!
And I'd like to see more of Kaer Magna. Maybe in a sequel to 'Seven Swords of Sin' or in an unrelated module.
SSoS and the Pathfinder Journal covering the city got me really hooked!
This is one of the most interesting places in all of Golarion and I really hope, that there'll be more stuff about it. Maybe in the Gazetteer or the CS? Hopefully!
Can I vote again for more on Osirion?
Me too. More on Osirion.
More Osirion please!
Kaer Maga and Osirion.
Didn't think much of J1 or D2 - though I liked the info on Kaer Maga
I would like more Darkmoon Vale stuff - great atmosphere. But if I had one vote it would be for a follow up to W1.

You're getting it in the Last Baron three part series for GameMastery. :D Plus a gazetteer, I believe?
Gazetteer not being Guide to Darkmoon vale and being what? Or gazetteer being indeed the Guide to Darkmoon vale and guide being what? =)

Yup. But I'm just a bit confused about that whole plus a gazetteer plus a guide thing going on.
OH you mean THAT gazetteer... Yep. Not confused anymore.
The hype in this thread prompted me to buy the Osirion module. I've only just skimmed it, but it does look awesome.
Yes, it does look like it would be a great setting for AP#4 (?) (since I'm probably not getting the water based AP any time soon!)
An AP really brings a section to life.
WOW.. what a great module Emtombed with the Pharoahs is!
Yeah. No kidding.
It really doesn't get much better than Entombed with the Pharaohs. I can't wait to get back to Osirion to explore it a bit. So far it's the first of the Game Mastery Modules that was really a must buy. I've been looking over the rest to see what other ones I want next
But yeah, man that was a good one!
