greatest AP so far?


Second Darkness

The Exchange

O.K, obviously evreyone have their favorite AP, and SD is not compleated yet so it might be to early, but really, the last four installments were great. I love the way this AP totaly re-invents itself with evrey adventure. (the spoilers are both for CotCT and SD)

Spoiler:
I mean, CotCT was just as good, in terms of absolute qualty, but it advancd slowly from one scene to another, and most of it took place in Korvosa. that's a good thing and it creats a real "protecting our home" feel for PC's, but yet... there's less veraity. in SD the ride goes from the thug-and-villany infested Riddle Port, on to the mysterious islend to face horrors from the deep space, then deep into an ancient Elven city to take place in a mass battle of skirmishes and tatics, on to a demi plane where the world is destroid evrey other month and evantually into the Underdark.
it feels fresh all the time, and the writers obviously gathered enough confidence to try new, crazy things.

I like it, and hope to see more of it in the future. so, dose anyone agree with me, or have a good reason not to? just being curious.


I don't know which one I liked best. We are done with RotRL and will soon start with 2nd part of CotCT.

I loved Runelords for the the different flavours of horror therein, including the nasty kind that managed to give my players pause; for the background information about the ancient empire of Thassalion and the scale to which they built (The Irespan alone just screams to the world "We 're mighty! We can build a bridge you could hide a tower beneath, and a keep besides"), and for the Sin theme.

I love Crimson Throne for the urban adventures, for showing that urban adventures can turn quite nasty; how the party is supposed to meet; for the fact that after Edge of Anarchy, the guy who plays the paladin in our group was really upset about what happened.

I love Second Darkness for the new twist to old enemies; for its variety; for its alien theme; for the Armageddon Echo.

of course all APs are great- never said elsewise. however, I find that the fact that SD changes style dresticly with evrey passing adventure, and the fact that each advanture is done with stunning succes, makes it my favorite AP so far... but it's a close call with CotCT.

Cool, I hope you'll get a kick of Legacy of Fire then. Things start small, go all over the place, then wraps things up in an unexpected yet familiar setting. It's kind of like Curse and Second Darkness combined in that sense, but with less single setting focus.

So far...

#6 Shackled City
#5 Rise of the Runelords
#4 Savage Tide
#3 Age of Worms (pretty close to #2)
#2 Curse of the Crimson Throne
#1 Second Darkness

They change depending on my mood, though. I have to say, Endless Night is just great, and if the rest of the path keeps up this pace, SD will have a lock on #1 until some further path dethrones it.

I thought that RotRL & CotCT were excellent. CotCT seemed to be put together better, and seemed to flow better. I liked what they did with the harrow deck. For RotRL, I really liked PF1 & PF2. For CotCT, I thought that PF11 & PF12 were outstanding.

In my mind, the jury is still out on SD, as it is not done yet.


I'm not sure about ranking, but Endless Night made me want to jump on the forums to just say "Nice job!" - a somewhat unusual "bad guy" situation, and intriguing setting/plot all around. VERY expandable if desired.

It also fits the play theme from Shadow in the Sky quite well. My players should enjoy it well.


Endless Night looks good. Love the spell they use for the disguise. Finally someone who does that plot without ignoring how easily magical disguises can be pierced with magic (and since they're infiltrating a magic-rich culture...)

I also love all the adventures' names in SD. Not that the others were bad, but the SD names really rock!
