I'm considering running AoW as my next campaign. How much do you deal with undead in this campaign? Is it a pretty major part of the plot, and do you have a lot of undead combat?. I've read through the background and the first adventure and it seems like there could be a lot. I ask because our last campaign was very undead-focused and we're ready for something different.
Thanks!

If you want to stay away from undead then this is not the AP for you. Undead comprise a very large chunk of this adventure path. Easily 1/3 if not more.

Yeah, someone on here did a breakdown, and a huge percentage of the enemies are undead, especially in the latter half of the AP. The first half may be enough of a break though, depending on your players—there are still undead, but they tend to be important fights (Filge's Zombies, the first Spawn of Kyuss in EaBWK, and so on). Library of Last Resort, Into the Wormcrawl Fissure, and Dawn of a New Age are super heavy on the undead, and while all the adventures have some variation, the theme of undead is a huge part of the campaign.
Edit: Here's the breakdown I mentioned: Favoured Enemies for Age of Worms. So undead are by far the most common type of enemy, but they aren't the majority.
