Isn´t amusement the main purpose here?
That said, "phantom-powered dreadnought-launching mountains"...an AP with ages old and hidden star ships in Numeria finaly launching again?
Oh yeah! That might excuse the again delayed TianXia!

Okay, since Hell's Vengeance had a theme opposed to that of Hell's Rebels, the next adventure path should have a theme opposed to that of Strange Aeons.
So obviously the only possible title for the next adventure path is "Familiar Moments". ;)
Well, I'm automatically more interested in this one purely because Crystal's the boss on it. I haven't read any of her work I haven't liked, so since I don't have great expectations of Strange Aeons I'm happy to hear this.
Personally, what I'd like to see is another trek across the world, but starting in Southern Garundi and ending on the Crown of the World. Because fighting from the burning deserts to the frozen remnants of the pre-Azlant civilization in the frozen wastes, and going through the usual areas at mid-levels, somehow appeals to me a great deal.
Plus I really wanna know about the folks around the whole Azlant thing happened. And snowcaster elves seem better than regular elves. 'Cos they sound cooler.
...you may bow before your Pun Lord.
Or bow. (The one that rhymes with drow.)
Or bow. (The one that doesn't rhyme with drow.)
The really important question:
Drow like dough
or
Drow like now
Obviously the second one is the correct way - however you could run for president with the quote above.... covered either way....

Well, it's the age of lost omens. We do the best we can.I never cease to be amused at how folks dig in to every little word we drop to try to interpret anything we type as clues as to the future.
Makes it hard for us to use certain words.
Like trombone.
Or parasite.
Or plastic.
Or thunderhead.
Or wrangle.
Or tension.
Or bow. (The one that rhymes with drow.)

Or phantom-powered dreadnought-launching mountains. Now admittedly, that last one is several words. But you get my point.
I can't favorite this enough!
I am sure those words are a "red haring". But then again....
I have woken screaming from dreams wherein there is no adventure path after Strange Aeons, because the return of the Great Old Ones brings about the end of the multiverse. After Strange Aeons, there are only board games and one off modules set in pocket dimensions that have yet to devolve into madness-- pocket dimensions whose reality is only evanescent, and whose doom haunts their inhabitants' nightmares.
Dang that would be a sweet module...*pipe dream time* after Strange Aeons, have it be one in which the Elder Gods have already won, and the PCs are fighting in a bleak, hopeless alternate future Golarion. Sort of "Days of Future Past"-ish.

So the party starts as cloud-herders, wrangling the clouds and chasing away evil thunderheads infected with parasites their first contact is a bard who uses a bow with the tension of a composite, but he design of a re-curve as a weapon. This bard trumpets out tales as his perform check while bowing at court. His instrument is a plastic vuvuzela.

So clearly the next AP involves Bill the Cat. I had been hoping, since Berke Breathed resurrected Bloom County last summer.

You know, Old School could refer to a Conan-esque theme. That would make the Land of the Linnorm Kings camp happy.
Or, Old School could refer to a more Tolkien epic Good vs. Evil theme - which could be far reaching across much of the Inner Sea region - bringing together many races to stand against an army of Zon-Kuthon. So Nidal building armies and making an alliance with Belkzen to cause chaos and destruction.
Or it could be Dragons, good and evil, much akin to a Dragonlance theme.
I think I could enjoy any such "Old School" AP's.
But one day, now that there are occult classes Jalmeray and Vudra would be just as fun as an end to end Tien-Xia.

Lots of dungeon crawling?
Mummys Mask, Giantslayer, Iron Gods, all those have lots of dungeon crawling.
Maybe some people need to overcome some cultural aversions to see how good some of the stuff is.
And how more classic than Giantslayer can things get? Just insert a dragon to slay there? Or do you want something like 1E, where taking the wrong direction at a crossroad gets you killed instantly?
Hells Rebells is a pretty classic intrigue campaign btw, centered in one city and a perfect match for vigilante stuff.
Mummys Mask features one awesome dungeon after another.
Iron Gods is very dungeon happy as well.
Don´t like the theme of that stuff? No tech, no Osirion? Just leave it away or change it.
And i think Conan is a way better fit for east Casmaron.
In truth, we need more Tian Xia though!

I'm guessing Taldor. It's one of the key inner sea nations missing a campaign setting book.
I wish Giantslayer did something interesting like make the final boss a unique earth based(maybe female) Titan that many thought was some kind of unknown type of giant.
It would be cool to see an AP give us a variety of terrains from plains, forest, mountains, to deserts, arctic tundra, and even underwater. Also having some unusual dungeons like a misty magically strengthened hedge maze, an anti-magic crystal cavern, a mansion warped by the first world, a temple to a forgotten fertility goddess that is infused by positive energy, a maze like city inside a giant tree, a floating island home to an imprisoned and insane (maybe earth) kineticist, an abandoned mine that has become highly magnetic, etc.

Why wouldn't Hell's Rebels count as "traditional"?
I was more referring to Coridan's list.

So it's going to be a Drow AP, I can feel it in my bones...
I would second that.
An evil drow AP. I would like to play (not gm) that. very. much.
So Paizocon is in full swing so the announcement will be soon so any last minute inspiration on what it will be. :)

GALT!!!!!!!!!!
When's the actual announcement?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Hoping for a dragon themed AP.
I'm a trendsetter! It's everything I always wanted!
GALT!!!!!!!!!!
NO GALT FOR YOU!
Then NO MINT for you!!
| 3 people marked this as a favorite. |
A superhero campaign with the vigilante, kineticist, monk, and psychic iconics.
Now that the time of announcement is near, I'm putting all my betting chips on Drow. ;)
I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that it's Mwangi time.
I'm guessing it's Qadira related. Maybe involving the route through Casmaron or Rovagug.
