As the title says, I have every adventure path except wrath of the righteous. I own way of the wicked as well. I cannot run legacy of fire as I am currently playing in it. What would everyone like to play?
Would play any of the following in order of preference:
Kingmaker
Legacy of Fire
Carrion Crown
Jade Regent
Mummy;'s Mask
Council of Thieves
Skull and Shackles
Shattered Star
I am either running or playing in all the rest.
I don't know, but count me interested! :3
Sorry I am doing an Irl kingmaker game and I need some time away from that campaign.
Carrion Crown or Council of Thieves!
I vote for any of them as long as I can play
Count me in!
My favourites would be (in that order):
Jade Regent
Reign of Winter
Mummy’s Mask

Trust me when I say you should pick whichever one really inspires you. GM burnout is the usual cause of PbP death.
PbP adventure paths are essentially a commitment of years rather than months (with one noteable exception of some seriously hardcore posting that finished Skull and Shackles within a year).
Also trust me when I say you'll have ample applicants regardless of which AP you run :).
fair enough, I don't mind to commit years to an AP. I've DMed for my irl group exclusively for almost 6 years of the 8 since I picked up the hobby. My only adversion to kingmaker is I've been running it for the last two years and have at least one more year to go.
I'd be interested in any of them. Tho I am interested in playing Way of the Wicked. I haven't played an evil character for years.
I'm running a Kingmaker campaign since last week over at Storium.com.
I really love the Pathfinder campaign setting, but I have stopped playing using the Pathfinder RPG rules some 2 years back when our pen-and-paper round stopped (people moved away and pbp was no option for them). So Storium was a nice alternative, less rules, more storytelling. Since I crave the Pathfinder game world, I'm now looking for an additional pbp round here.
Interested in
Way of the Wicked <= especially, tried entry 6 times already.
Second Darkness
Reign of winter
Mummy's mask
Council of Thieves

I came here to second this: pick what you'd like to run. A reactive and motivated GM is the most important thing in a PbP. It's really disheartening to find a PbP that you like, only to see it die sometime later. :(
As a player I'd stress on something, tough (I mean I think that's important, but maybe it's only me): work on your recruitment thread. It's like your business card! Technically, you only need to write what AP you want to run and the build requirements, but seeing only a single line with
"I want to run CoT, 20 build points, all race allowed, no summoner or gunslinger, ready, set, go"
puts me off. A fancy recruitment post with an introduction to the AP (bonus points if you wrote that!), your style of DMing(bonus point for a sample here!), number of posts, player and DM expectations, paragraphs and good formatting goes a long way to make people submit a character to your campaign: except some people (like me :P) who looks at the DM posting history and things like that, most people look only to the recruitment, so make it count!
PS: I support your idea of not running Kingmaker: it will take a decade or two in PbP :P
I support the idea of running what you want to run, as every single pbp I've been in the gm has disappeared in the first few weeks.
That being said, my order of preference would be:
Second Darkness
Throne of Night (if you have it)
CotCT
Serpents Skull
RotRL
This throne of night interests me. I am going to have to see how similar it is to kingmaker but I do like it.
If not that I think I shall work on preparation for way of the wicked.
From what I can gather, it's basically Kingmaker in the Darklands, so it may be a little redundant for you. I'm also playing in Kingmaker in a f2f game, but I just really want to play something set in the Darklands. :)
I don't know much about WotW, but I'll probably submit a character for it.
Ones I'd be most interested in playing (No specific order):
Curse of the Crimson Throne
Second Darkness (Got into the first encounter, DM quit before enemies acted).
Legacy of Fire
Carrion Crown
Shattered Star
Jade Reagent (Love the theme from the description).
Mummy's Mask (Would be pretty sweet/have an egyptian (and oriental as well) cultural fetish).
Wrath of Righteous (though not on the table it seems).
I've been in Kingmaker and Rise of the Runelords so would prefer something different myself.
Good luck on choosing!
ROTR
Shattered Star
Wrath of the Righteous
Second Darkness
Council of Thieves
KingMaker (if you find a way to speed run it. Like one book equals 4 months at most)
Reign of Winter (as long as you aren't marking up monsters or adding extra ones without warning us ahead of time, a previous DM admitted to doing that, and it was frustrating, the game is already hard enough. It was a bad move not to tell us)
Mummy's Mask (as long as a lot of it is changed since I'm dming one and I'm on 2nd book right now. Throw the rooms in reverse or whatever.)
Or if you want, you can really mix things up, yes I know this means a messed up story, but something like book 1 of RotR, book 2 of Wrath, book 3 of Mummy, book 4 of Reign of Winter for an epic story of your own.

Updated the list to eliminate Wrath, as I misread the initials.
Also you are lucky to have them all. Some of those APs are 50-100 bucks just for the first book.
My local game store carries them all still, so I've bought them over the years but the mythic rules don't interest me (which is a shame cause I love the adventure idea).
I have started a recruitment here for Crypt of the everflame, mask of the living god, and city of golden death, until I decide which AP I want to run.
I would be quite madly interested in Jade Regent.
All the others you get quite easely on the board, Kingmaker and S&S a favorite but Jade Regent is a rare gem!
I'd love to play jade regent as well.
Also Reign of Winter or Shattered Star for me
For the AP, would you consider Mummy's Mask? It is a pretty new AP, and there seems to be very few of them being run on the boards here.
Jade regent really does sounds like fun, either that or mummy's mask.
