I was wondering if anyone had any alternate volume titles for this AP?
Notably book 2
The reason is that my group are playing through a different AP right now where they have had several dust ups with the skinsaw cult
There was even a brilliant exchange where one said “I think we are finally done with these guys” and another said “I don’t think so, we will probably be playing a different campaign in 4 years time and they will show up again”
I had to control my face as it is already pretty decided that we are playing Runelords next
I have the anniversary edition so the titles aren’t on the front cover . What could I call volume 2 instead by way of hiding the reveal ?
And as a general thought exercise are there any other alternate titles for the other volumes? Book 1 could be “The Mark of Lamashtu” or something?

"Mark of Lamashtu" gives away a fair amount of what is typically a development in the Catacombs of Wrath, whereas Burnt Offering comes up during or just before the fight with Nualia.
Some ideas..
1) "Sandpoint's Heroes"
2) "Trail of Blood"
3) "Spare the Hook"
4) "Jorgenfist"
5) (I really like the default name, but) "Embers of Hope" OR The Immortal Laboratory
6) "The Lost City" / "City of Gold" / "Greed"
For the record I like all the titles especially 1, 4, 5 and 6
I just wouldn’t mind the option of changing 2 for the reason I mentioned
Alternate titles for Book 2: A time for killing, The star of death, Old blood, Behind the mask/face of death.
Book 1: Goblin trouble / Festival of nightmares / Saving Sandpoint / Fire and wrath
Book 2: CSI Sandpoint / Night of the dead / Detectives of Sandpoint / Flesh and bone / Scary crows
Sins of the Father works for Book 1 as well.
I do like Sins of the Father as a stop gap title especially if I also utilise the popular Tsuto based change as well
I did think it was rather close to “Sins of the Saviours” but my intention would be the reveal the real title either once the skinsaw man reference comes up or once the cult appears
Book 6: "The Emerald City".
Alternatively: "Follow the Yellow Brick Road". :)
I'm running two different groups through the AE version, and for the most part I've just referred to them as Book 1, Book 2, etc. Only when they've finished a book do I tell them the real title.
Unfortunately, I'm 100 percent sure that one particular player has been doing some reading ahead (or reading some "walk throughs" on Reddit or something), so the book titles are probably not a surprise to him.
