Which AP is the most Urban? (Possible Spoilers)


Pathfinder Adventure Path General Discussion


I know that Curse takes the players out of Korvosa for some time. Does the Council of Thieves do a similar thing or does it stay in Westcrown?

I am interested in this because from what I've seen about the Mythic rules, it looks like they are a sub-set of rules that can be used to give a game a very "Fantasy Superhero" feel. I want to run an Urban AP and go down that route with it and Council of Thieves seems the most likely to help that along for me. Given the players vs league of villains feel it seems to have... I modify all of my APs anyways and I want to run it more like "League of Heroes" vs a corrupt city (see Batman, Arrow, etc).


I just downloaded the Mythic playtest to make sure I am getting the right assumption for it so the whole thread could end up being moot.

Silver Crusade

Council of Thieves is the most urban. Curse of the Crimson Throne the second.

Spoiler alert!

Spoiler:
There IS a short stretch of Council of Thieves where the PCs leave Westcrown, in the first portion of book 5. However, it's only half the book, with the PCs returning to the city to investigate what they've learned. It's not like Curse of the Crimson Throne where you spend two books "in exile" before making a triumphant return in the last book.

Council of Thieves is both the most urban and "Urbane".

The heroes will

  • Help the overworked police Fight Crime in the city's mean streets.
  • Perform in a Drama and attend the after-party.
  • Relax in an exclusive salon.
  • Visit the Mayoral Estate.
  • Enjoy a pleasant ride in the country.
  • Tour a world famous landmark.


  • There's always Shackled City - the heroes are based in the city for the entire campaign, occasionally going off to explore, but in general always in or under Cauldron.
