I just downloaded my PDF copy of adventure #2 for this AP and skimmed it early this morning. I am very impressed with what i've seen so far, and I've got every reason to believe this story arc is only going to get better as it moves forward.
i'm finishing off kingmaker this month with my group (we've got about...4 sessions left I think) and then we're taking a short break and firing up the pirates. I am already pondering other ships and crews for the party to plunder!
