A AP where all the PC's are chocolate bunnies and have to fend of kids trying to eat them.

You know there was a GURPS supplement where you played bunnies? (Non-chocolate ones)

Stuff about underwater AP

That sounds pretty kewl! I'd play it. But would the players only have access to water breathing races? Or would they only be that one race from that ancient empire?

I love the idea of the surface never having any clue that the snorks are fighting.

You could use this!

The party, while screwing

An AP where the party advances the quests and gais experience by sexual (not violent) means ...

(i.e., Book of Erotic Fantasy as an adventure path.)

This. It's one of the few concepts we can be absolutely certain will not happen... but it would so rock. =)

Oh my GAWD! That PDF is SO awesome! How did I not already know about this? This makes an Underwater Campaign actually doable.

SNORKS: Bloodwar?


An AP set somewhere that is not the inner sea. a good example would be the minkai empire, just don't do the whole jade regent thing with the escorting a long lost princess across the darn globe. throw in an honor system and rules for staredowns, iado duels, etc.

a steampunk AP similar to the storyline of the legend of Korra.

an AP where everyone starts off as a prisoner on false charges and has to prove themselves, defeat a false king, and use the tools laid before them. elements of deadman wonderland would be amazing.

a horror AP that does not rely on lovecraft or sanity rules to provide challenge. please don't follow the traditional tropes either. maybe south american horror would be nice.

One where 0 level characters enter Golorian, being sucked from an alien, technological world called Earth through an Ancient Azlanti gate (that no one knows how to operate in reverse.

That is the most painful idea... "Hey, does everyone have insecurities? Right, well today we're going to make characters by, um, exploring those insecurities."

Honestly, I think my average score would be a minus and I'd have to re-roll myself!


I'd be a Level 3 Commoner!


Sparkleloft: The Doom That Comes At Twilight

Liberty's Edge

I would actually play the hell out of #6


[I don't know what number we're on so-]

25. An AP set entirely in the Maelstrom.

A kind of CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE Kingmaker style game but instead of forming your own kingdom, your carving an entire PLANE OF EXISTENCE out of the roiling chaos.

Lots of Proteans, Inevitables, and the return of the GIthyanki! (Cease and Desist letters from WOTC pending.)

Sparkleloft: The Doom That Comes At Twilight

Now with the Advanced Races Guide you CAN create your own Sparkle Vampire race. The first thing I did when I bought the book was rip it open to the Create A Race section and feverishly stat out my very own Edward race. Then I swooned.

Skulls and Shackles in a Bathtub. The players are little plastic toys stuck in a rubber boat and have to fight a rubber ducky and large waves created when an super enormous naked giant creates huge waves beyond imagination. They must learn to survive in a soapy environment and finally they must fight hunger and thirst when all the water vanishes.

And a massive spider climbs toward them...

BBEG is a slightly-less-enormous giant who has discovered firecrackers.


26. The Inner Inner Inner Sanctum

An AP set within YOUR MIND.

Part 1 - The Inner Sanctum

Adventure summary:

A monk hailing from Zi Ha has gone berserk in Magnimar and it's up to the PC's to find out why. After a pitched battle with the monk and his followers in the shadow of the Irespan, the PC's, through meditation and mind-enhancing drugs, enter the monk's mind sanctum. Following a spiritual corridor ever deeper into the idiom of the renegade monk the PC's find the source of madness: an opening into another reality.

Will they accept this reality's reality in time to stop the...to stop the...uh, to stop the BAD THINGS!? FROM HAPPENING!?

Part 2 - ****

I'll stop here, If I explored any of the Adventure Path further it would drive you MAD.

There have to be Vikings though.

22. AP where PC's are cursed in part 1 and spend the next 5 parts trying to kill the BBEG before their their curse kills them. Kind of like in Final Fantasy when you get DOOMED. Actually, Doomed would be a cool name for the adventure path.

23. An AP devoted to tracking down a variant Deck of Many Things that has gone horribly awry - like following in it's path of destruction.

#23 you mean like this plot?

Just wanted to drop by to say how much I appreciated the Dr. Steve Brule quote in the thread title.

Brules Rules...rulez.

We could have an AP where the party takes the role of the only MARRIED news team in the tri-country area. They investigate important issues such as how to defend themselves against a dirty rapist (just play possum, ya dummy), how to get a make-over so that the girls will talk to you, marital infidelity and in the shocking finale, discover what's better: kissing a beautiful girl or owning a jetpack.

Uh, have you not played Jade Regent? You basically just described the whole thing.


I think OP's 1st one is possible, but the total party would be oversized (Number of paths*number of players).


I'm still numbering, because that's what I do.

27. An AP set entirely in the First World. Humans as a PC race are banned.

28. A six part Adventure Path devoted to stealth and infiltration. Part 1 takes place on an island just West of the Land of the Linnorm Kings called "Shadow Moses". Part 6 stages the assassination of Queen Abigail Thrune III.

29. An adventure path that jumps between books in a grand magical library, the PC's meeting characters of renown and taking on adventures of great import in these Tome Worlds.

30. An adventure path that tasks the PC's with putting on an Opera in Egorian - Parts 1 through 5 are spent gathering the actors, directors, and crew. Part 6 is the opera itself. Call the adventure path "The Producers."


28 and 30 made me snicker.

27 and 29 I'd actually play in a heartbeat.

Even the Epic rules would not do you justice.

You would need the rules for divine beings.

True but I assume any epic rules would take one to godhood.


Well, you know what they say about assuming...Goddesses don't do it. :}


When you make an assumption it makes an ass out of you and Umption.


31. AP devoted to a HOLY MISSION from THE CHURCH: all PC's are expected to either be Paladins, Clerics, or Inquisitors of your choice - Asmodeus/Abadar/Iomadae. The plot revolves around Rahadoum...strangely enough.

32. AP set completely in a megadungeon that's already been cleared out by other adventurers. The PC's fight the new denizens that are starting to take the place over after the power vacuum - the BBEG is the party of adventurers at the lowest level.

Think fighting in rooms with spent traps against Duergar trying to construct an outpost and Aboleths trying to flood the lower levels to expand their domain.

33. An AP set inside a giant spaceship made to simulate Golarion. The PC's think their still on Golarion but by Part 4 know they've been put into a massive, traveling arcology.

34. An AP made to TPK as much as possible. No prisoners taken. Call it "The Shackled City"...although, that sounds familiar.

35. An AP designed around mounts. Horselords/cavalry on the plains.

36. An AP set around savage countries where the PC's are expected to either be non-civilized or foreigners caught up in it (i.e. Belkzen, Realm of the Mammoth Lords, etc.) Part 1 sees the PC's using bone and obsidian weapons, fur and hide armor being the best that can be bought as starting equipment.

37. An Adventure Path for lovers. Part 1 through 6 is about trying to get a princess to fall in love with one of the PC's. You know you want it.

38. "The Prisoner" of Golorion
- "You are number 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10"

The entire adventure path only requires one village map.

Although I'd like to play in #6.

The Exchange

An AP to stop someone from taking the test of the star stone. Because once you win whynot take the test yourself.

An AP where you are all killed and have to fight your way out of hell.

An AP where the pary are pathfinders

An AP where they party has to escape a mad scientist, learning of new hidden powers.

and it was all a dream AP.


An AP where you start the Rise of the Runelords......as the invading goblins.


43. AP where the players are dumped on a deserted island and they have to take part in lots of inane contests and vote somebody off the island each session...

44. AP where the players jump into different characters and different times each session Quantum-leap style. Rolling a D20 (or D100 if you have that many books) the GM picks a book from his shelf matching that number and plonks the party into the story on page 1...

Grand Lodge

45. The heroes all get office jobs and have to deal with sick building syndrome, passive aggressive coworkers and irritating customer service. To make life better, they read the Paizo messageboards.

46. Errands - The Complete Story. The players start off by doing errands for folks in their hometown, and things just don't go anywhere else from here. Everyone is really pleased with their new errand boys and girls, and keep giving them poorly paid logistic jobs to do.

47. Pest Controllers of Golarion. The heroes are new recruits into Golarion's most elite vermin elimination team. Termites? They take care of 'em. Spiders? We'll do that too! Any bug you can think of, Golarion Pest Control can sort that right out for ya. Not allowed: Ranger with vermin favoured enemy.

That has been done: it's documented on these messageboards, in the RotRL forum, I think.

edit: found it tbug's RotRL


That's funny! It's a fun read too.

Who would have thought that it would be a band of goblins that would stop the menace that it is Karzoug?

I've seen this before and I love it! Why can't we get a Steve Prescott full frontal Sorshen? Who do I have to worship?

PCS not as sellswords but rather mercenaries of a different sort... traveling salesmen and survey givers. The monsters of the dungeon now have a fate to fear worse than death... THE RING OF THE DOORBELL!

Don't believe me how horrible this can be? Check here, IF YOU DARE!
