Aberration themed AP ?


Pathfinder Adventure Path General Discussion


Is there any aberration-themed Adventure Path from Paizo? I'm asking because one of the guys I play with is in a "H.P. Lovecraft" phase and he's looking foward to run an aberration-themed campaing.


Totally would love. Some of my favorite books are the 3.5 Lords of Madness (mind flayers, beholders, aboleths, neogi, etc.) and the old 2e(?) adventure series featuring MFs. I'm sure Paizo could create a diabolical race to give those tentacled and one-eyed punks a run for their money. The author list for the AP comes easily to mind: Mr. Logue (he's still around, right?), Mr. Pett, Mr. Jacobs...well, my top three come easily to mind anyway.

I know one of the adventurers in Carrior Crown is supposed to be pretty Lovecraftian, this one I think:

Wake of the Watcher


+1 on an Aberration-themed AP.


We endorse this demand!

Far too long have those who are not bound by the small-minded restrictions of body and mind those mewling humanoids call "natural" been marginalised!

The stars are right for chthonian and unspeakable terrors will be the focus of one of these paths.

Of course, such an undertaking might not be feasible from your point of view, since in such a case, all humanoids will die screaming, which might not appeal to your warped sense of "happy ending".

So far, the limitless entities that feature so prominently in your restricted nightmares only had cameo appearances, to merely turn insane instead of completely shattering and consuming the minds of brief mortals:

Warning, only read on if you do not value your sanity. Plus, there's spoilers for some APs:

  • The Rise of the Runelords AP had several appearances of Mythos creatures, and a few of the more satisfying outcomes of this venture result in the liberation of a close personal friend of mine, who will then be able to indulge in his favourite pastime: Obliterating worlds.

  • Serpent's Skull, with its snakemen with delusions of adequacy, features a number of mindtakers, known as intellect devourers to some.

  • There are others, but their roles are even smaller, being allowed to merely induce some minor phobias.
  • We are of the opinion that the intellect devourers and aboleths would make for excellent main villains for a whole AP. Dark intrigue and suspicion would pervade such tales, and madness, too. We find these concepts pleasing!
