(This is my third try at posting here - I think the first two were so long they made the Paizo boards explode, so I'm breaking it. Third time's a charm!)
Howdy! I didn't want to get into too much detail here in case one of my players happened to stumble on this thread, but that'd make it all but impossible to explain.
I've DM'd plenty of 2nd edition D&D and my day. Pathfinder is my first foray in the d20-verse, and for the sake of simplicity I decided to run the first part of the Rise of Runelords series to get a feel for the system. However, the thrust of the campaign is centered on the events in UK2 - The Sentinel and UK3 - The Gauntlet, two classic 1st edition modules from TSR's UK team.
I’ll ask the most important questions first. If you’re interested in the backstory, the segues, and the reworking of connective tissue to make all of this fit together, that’s all written out below.
1) I’d like to use the Medium experience track to keep the APL as low as possible throughout the campaign. Is it feasible for a party of five 3rd-level adventurers to make it all the way through Thistletop? (Not including Malfeshnekor, who I’ll probably leave out.) I would like them to have just hit level three when they encounter Nualia.
2) What’s the highest APL that Skinsaw Murders can handle without it being a cakewalk? I’d like stick an adventure between the end of Burnt Offerings and the beginning of Skinsaw Murders that will probably take the characters to fourth, possibly pushing fifth, level. Will that make things too easy?
