Me and my player love the world of Golarion, we use it has a base for every campaign we do. And make sure that every campaign we do can change the world. Soon, it will be my turn again to GM and I want to play ‘’The Shattered Star’’, since I GMed ‘’Rise of the Runelord’’.
But, I have a problem, after Rise of the Runelord, some of my players wanted to continue, they wanted to become the new Runelord. So I extended the campaign with the return of other Runelords (Xanderghul and Alaznist).
Now, I need to adapt the Shattered Star AP. Here the change that happened (I put spoiler everywhere to avoid any trouble):
- Rise of the Runelord
- Curse of the Crimson Throne (Failed)
- Second Darkness
- Legacy of Fire (Failed)
- Council of Thieves
- Carrion Crown (playing now, last fight today)
- Jade Regeant
- Skull and Shackle (playing now, will end soon)
- Alaznist has awakened and started her rampage.
- Shorshen possessed Queen Ileosa Arabasti (We failed in the Curse of the Crimson Throne AP)
- Xanderghul tried to stop the cataclysm by himself (almost died) , he then waited in stasis and my players killed him.
- Karzoug is dead.
- Krune is sleeping…
- Belimarius is waiting and envious.
- Zutha, at the end of my Carrion Crown campaign, the last member of the Whispering Way changed their plan. Since the Carrion Crown Elixir didn’t work, they want to break in Gallowspire with the help of someone, Zutha. So they try to find the piece of the Gluttonous Book. (Under the supervision of a Vampire Alchemist with Totemrix (ex-pc))
- Sandpoint has been destroyed by Alaznist and the explosion of the Hellfire fume.
- Magnimar has been attacked by the Alaznist’s Army.
- Korvosa has been taken by Shorshen.
- Riddleport is under the protection of the Pathfinder. The new Runelord paid pirate mercenaries to help in the defense of Riddleport.
- Kaer Maga is still a free city.
- Xin’Shalast is now under the control of the player (the new Runelord of Greed, the Runelord of Pride (ex-pc)).
- Turtleback Ferry is now a military outpost.
- Brinewall is now a diplomatic outpost under the control of Minkai. (and a ex-pc)
The new Runelord of Pride (a Dragon Disciple) and the new Runelord of Greed (a Wizard) are building an army to oppose Alaznist . They heard about the Shattered Star and sent their army to recover the shards.
- Shattered Star 1 : Shard of Sin :
Magnimar is now a warzone, Alaznist has dispatched her army to take over the city. The PC need to recover the shard without Alaznist noticing them.
- Shattered Star 2 : Curse of Lady’s Light:
Shorshen dispatched the Gray Maiden to recover the shard before the PC.
- Shattered Star 3 : The Asylum Stone:
The last members of the Whispering Way headed to the Dark Forest to recover an artifact (they are thinking about a part of the Gluttonous Book, but the real one is the Shard of Gluttony)
- Shattered Star 4: Beyond the Doomsday Door :
coming soon.
I want this campaign to be more military oriented. The first part will be in a Warzone (Magnimar). Short mission and military encounter are on my program. My player will be military agent of the new Runelords.
I need help to design new campaign trait;
Trait:
- Sandpoint Survivor: You survived the destruction of Sandpoint and the explosion of the Hellfire Fume. You were taken to Xin'Shalast to recover.
- Magnimar Survivor: You fled Magnimar when Alaznist marched on the city. You were saved by arrival of the Runelords and their army.
- Recruited by Greed: The new runelord of Greed recruited you himself. You are greedy and the palace of Xin'Shalast is your paradise.
- Recruited by Pride : The runelord of Pride recruited you himself. You are arrogant and hope to show your might in his army.
- Korvosa Deserter : When Shorshen took over the city, you saw the horror she did. You deserted at the first opportunity and fled to Xin'Shalast.
- Riddleport Pathfinder : The Pathfinder dispatched a large group of people to help in study of the Cyphergate. Now, they asked you help the new Runelords in the defense of Varisia.
- Member of the Shoan’ti : You're a member of the Shoan'ti tribe. The horror of Alaznist are taking over your land. Your elder asked you to seek help.
- Turtleback Ferry Militia : Turtleback Ferry was converted in a military outpost Unfortunatly, the country is now in a full war and you were conscripted.
- Minkai Ambassador: You were a member of the Minkai's embassy (Brinewall), you now live in Varisia. Two people that called themselves ''Runelord'' asked help from the Empress Kaijistu.
- Pirate Mercenary: Last month you were on a boat, now you were paid to help in the attack in a old city. The pay is suppose to be good.
And do you have any suggestion? (sorry for my bad english). I have a good idea, but I need help with the content.
You have likely already finished that campaign but I want to give you props for weavings so many APs into a cohesive world. Good job! (Even though it means more work to you.)
