Reign of Winter doesn't feel like a journey as much as a shopping trip. Like sure, going shopping at a bunch of sites for macguffins is a journey of sorts, but less so than Jade Regent's long trip. Especially considering the dimensional travel in Reign of Winter. What I've heard of Tyrant's Grasp runs into the same problem, the party isn't traveling across a single map, but hopping across map to map.

In terms of travel Strange Aeons deserves mention. You spend the first book in one building in Ustalav, then the second one in the city adjacent to that building, then you end up traveling down the entire Sellen river and go as far south as Okeno then deep into the Qadiran desert at which point you leave reality.
I'm playing Strange Aeons and enjoying the river travel at the moment. While it is fun, because we're spending most of the travel time on a boat or hopping in and out of the dreamlands there's no opportunity to be a tourist.
Every AP is great at something, and Jade Regent was marketed incorrectly as the Minkai AP. It should have been marketed as the Epic Journey AP, in the literary genre sense of the word.
In the spirit of the Fellowship travelling across Middle Earth and Odysseus' strange journeys.

Tbh I liked Carrion Crwon more than any even including other book 6. Age of Worms was only good during initial chapters. If I run this player killing AP again I'd probably add more RP opportunities and tone down the difficulty.
I always strugglesd to finish Curse of the Crimson Throne. Rein of Winter was another awesome game that I played during that time.
