Almost as good as the Shackled City?

[Viconus]

Hello,

I was in Scottsch's Shackled City campaign for three years and the responsibility of DMing has now fallen on me. One thing that made D and D so fun for me was that the Shackled City had such a good story line and such a good opportunity for innovative role playing. Can anyone recommend a campaign book that is better, or almost as good, for 3.5?

I would almost consider doing the Shackled City with my new players...But I think overall it would be more interesting to do a new campaign with a new storyline.

Cheers!

I think Age of Worms and Savage Tide are just as good (or better), but they're not available in a single book, unfortunately.

Any preference between them? And where could you find them? Are they online? Dungeon magazine?

I'm finding them about equally good so far (as a player). Age of Worms was published in Dungeon #124–135 and Savage Tide was published in Dungeon #139-150.

War of the burning sky is good also.

Age of worms rocked. I ran it for 2 years and my group loved it.

I am really into 2 recent AP's Kingmaker and Carrion Crown. I have not read Kingmaker because I will be a player in it, but am reading CC since that is the next one I want to run.

I liked Savage Tide, but there was not alot of role-playing, but that may have just been the group, but AoW was awesome. I also played in Freeport, which was really cool.

I am running SC in Golarion, which is working out pretty good. I am adding "the Styes" in as a side trek.

I would say read AoW..Dragotha, Zeech etc.... By the end, the partys wizard was in the Circl of 8...

And try to get the Dragon issues published at the same time - they had support articles for the AoW (Wormfood) and STAP (Savage Tidings).

Any chance you, or your DM, want to sell them?

I believe they're available in pdf format from Paizo, though I haven't checked recently.

ETA: See here.

For what it's worth, over the last year I slowly picked up all of those magazines from Ebay, and I think Age of Worms is easier to get than Savage Tide. The hardest-to-get issues of AW are harder than the easiest-to-get issues of ST, but the last two issues of ST (i.e. the last two print issues of Dungeon) are really tough unless you're willing to throw down a lot of cash. That's my experience anyway!

Lets see, Age of Worms = Undead Apocalypse. Lots of greyhawk lore mixed in there.

Savage Tide = Pirates, dinosaurs, jungle, demons, throwdown with arguably the strongest non diety in DnD at the time.

I'm playing on-line and we're only partway through either adventure path. You could try asking in the Gamer Life forum, I gues.
