Ranking the AP's or Adventure Paths in difficulty to run / GM / DM.


Advice


Exactly as the title says. I haven't seen such a thread and I thought it would be a good resource for beginning DM's...well all DM's really.

Rank however you want. ie: a number from 1-10 or put them all in acceding or descending order or whatever.

Add any notes or other information of possible difficulties that you feel is relevant.

Also, maybe how much fun a DM will have running a particular adventure or what the AP involves so people can make their own decisions.

If you haven't DMed then player knowledge of what you felt your DM had difficulty with. DM skill level/experience and how well they did running said AP. Thanks.

Does 1 mean hardest or does 10 mean hardest?


Good question.

10 highest difficulty

Have you seen this thread on Reddit about the APs?

It's got the most comprehensive review of APs that I've seen yet. You have to scroll down a little bit to find that summary. The guy covered them all from the original pre-Pathfinder APs up through Iron Gods. I haven't read all that many of them to avoid spoiling things for myself, but for the few I've played/run, I think he does a good assessment. Of course, those are just his opinions.

Hell's Vengeance seems so far about 2-3.
Very easy, but PCS have to be cool with evil.

Kingmaker is fun, but not easy to run due to tiles (at least hard online, real life might be easier).

I run a Kingmaker game online. It's not difficult in the least.

That is helpful. Not exactly what I was thinking but I think it can be of use to everyone. Thanks. :)
