So, with the last of the First Edition adventure paths coming out, I’d be interested to know which APs people enjoyed the most — and which ones they didn’t.
I really liked Ironfang Invasion, which certainly had all the hobgoblins you’d ever want, but fortunately these were balanced out with other creatures. I especially liked the minotaur lieutenant, who had an interesting and nuanced backstory, and I loved the anhana, which are some of the most flavorful fey in all of First Edition.
As for Kingmaker…I so much wanted to like this one. I love the idea of wilderness exploration, but the kingdom-building felt a little too much like a video game, or at least that’s how it was implemented in the game I was in. There were other issues with that game which deeply colored my experience, so I may not have the best perspective on Kingmaker, but sometimes there can be too much sandbox in a game.
In terms of least favorite APs, I’m afraid Strange Aeons was something of a disappointment overall, although they did a great job working up creatures from the Lovecraft mythos, especially the byakhee and the star vampire. And Tyrant’s Grasp, sadly, has deeply failed to impress.
But I’d be interested in hearing what APs others have enjoyed, or didn’t, and the reasons why.
