I've heard that this AP is dungeon heavy but does mix in some RP in Part 1 and in a few dungeons. Can anyone give an estimate on the mix between the types of adventures in the AP?
Like is it all dungeons? Or is there more variety?
Thanks
There's a significant dungeon crawl in each volume, but also significant opportunities for roleplaying in each volume. The latter are perhaps more easily minimized in this adventure path than average, but the nature of the connective tissue between chapters means that it's also fairly easy for a GM to add a bunch of roleplaying hooks.
Does this answer your question? If not, what specifically are you after?
I think that's good info. I'm looking to run either this or Rise of the Runelords before Return comes out for some extra history or consistency.
I know most would choose Rise but my group has played 2 parts of that before. I'd heard of the dungeons in this AP but wanted to make sure there was a better mix than just kicking in doors.

I'll say, I've been working on a few ways to add more to Shattered Star, and one thing I've seen/considered is adding elements from PFS Season 4: Year of the Risen Rune in order to add more chances for RP, as well as add a concurrent enemy for the players to face throughout the whole story.
And hey, it will also add more to chances to foreshadow the final boss too.
I spent time on the travel to the destinations to allow role play. Made sure that intelligent monsters were poised to talk where able, not just attack immediately.
Ton of role play opportunities in Kaer Maga, but it requires some DM brush up on the city and some creative fill in.
