With things being the way they are in the world, and many of us not being able to connect with regular groups the way we normally would, I would like to run an Adventure Path for those that might want to play in it.
But I don't know which Adventure Path I should run, which is why I have come to you all. Between Starfinder and Pathfinder 1e, which Adventure Path should I run?
I'll leave this open for about a week or so or until the opinion of the boards has made itself well known.
Please provide your top 3 choices.
Thank you!

For Pathfinder, there are several good ones. The obvious one, Kingmaker, means you will get 50 applicants in less than a week :) If you like a horror based theme, Carrion Crown is an excellent AP (It has everything, haunted jail, werewolves, vampires, Frankenstein's monster, Cthulu type, etc.). Whatever you pick, be ready to adjust the encounters upwards by the third book as they tend to be underwhelming (especially if you go with a 6 person group).
If forced, my 3 picks would be:
Kingmaker
Carrion Crown
Ironfang Invasion

Personally I'd say
Kingmaker
War for the Crown
Wrath of the Righteous
I love the political elements that seem to be present in Kingmaker and War for the Crown and with Wrath of the Rigorous I like the overarching plot outline and the opportunity to explore the Mythic rules.
(Caveat: I know virtually nothing about how any of them play out, story-wise, I just know the 20-words-or-less version.)
Carrion Crown
Serpent's Skull
Tyrant's Grasp (really know nothing about that one past who is the bad guy)
I’d run one of the newer ones: Ironfang Invasion, War for the Crown, Return of the Runelords, etc.
Legacy of Fire (But that is 3.5 with needs up updating so may not count)
Hell's Rebels
Skull & Shackles
(And in case LoF doesn't count)
War for the Crown
If I was to put down the ones I'm most excited for, I'd go with...
Hell's Rebel
Kingmaker
Carrion Crown
Skull & Shackles
Carrion Crown
And I've heard enough good things about Kingmaker at this point that I'd give it a go.
I would suggest Strange Aeons or Wrath of the Righteous instead of King maker and Carrion Crown but I'm already involved in those APs.
Iron Gods
Hell's Rebels
Strange Aeons
Well, I'd be hard-pressed not to go for:
War for the Crown (because of how many tie-ins it had to the PFS modules)
Kingmaker (Classic I was never able to play, though I currently have a pending application for this one)
And Jade Regent (Also a classic I was never able to play)
In that order. Thanks for taking this initiative!

Be honest, how many of you saw everyone else's suggestions and thought, "Oh yeah, that one too!"
(raises hand)
Come on, be honest!
Id say Ironfang Invasion, war for the crown, or hells rebels.
Kingmaker
Ruins of Azlant
Wrath of the Righteous

*Holds up hand*
Guilty
1. Hell's Rebels
2. Skull & Shackles
3. Strange Aeons
I'd love me some Tyrant's Grasp and I've hardly seen that one, probably because people have issues with the ending.
With that in mind, in no particular order:
Ironfang Invasion, Like the idea behind this one quite a bit
Skull & Shackles, I've had character concept for this since 2017 that I'm very eager to expand upon.
Hell's Rebels, though Kingmaker and Giantslayer are hot on it's heels

Thanks for doing this! I want to GM a campaign as well and was thinking of taking a similar approach of polling the community.
The ones I'd like to play though...
1. Age of Ashes
2. War for the Crown
3. Ironfang invasion
No particular preference.
Giantslayer
Hell's Rebels
Jade Regent
I already played Skull & Shackles.
1. Legacy of Fire
2. Tyrant's Grasp
3. War for the Crown
| 6 people marked this as a favorite. |
1. Any that goes past recruitment phase.
2. Any that goes past post #100.
3. Any that goes past 6th level.
Bonus: Any that finishes the storyline.
Apart from those, all could be ok with a good mix of nice players and nice GM.
Kingmaker
Ironfang Invasion
Hells Rebels
I’d love to get in any of those. Galahad, who posted here, is a great player that I’d love to play with again.

Hmm, I don't know much about the ones that I haven't played, but I want to play the one where the Shabti race was introduced... Mummy's Mask I think? Never even started that one.
And then, along with Jereru, I agree with anything that doesn't fall apart, even that isn't too helpful with picking one. So, a couple of others that I have never started that sound interesting are Serpent's Skull and Reign of Winter (and more, but those are the oldest ones which it would be nice to get caught up on).
Summary:
Mummy's Mask
Serpent's Skull
Reign of Winter
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
I have tried and failed to get into FOUR different Jade Regent games, so I'd like to do that.
Beyond that, I second ZB's recommendation of Mummy's Mask, and I would like to give a shot at Ironfang Invasion.
For Pathfinder 1e I would like to see:
Strange Aeons or Shattered star.
For Starfinder, anything other than Against the Aeon throne.

(sees Mummy's Mask)
Oh yeah,.I wanna change my answer!
Mummy's Mask
Serpent's Skull
Okay, of the other two I'd named, 1 for Carrion Crown, 2 for Tyrant's Grasp.
Okay, TG for my third.
Dot...
FYI a couple months ago someone else did the same thing, google form and all. Here's the results, which could help maybe.
1. Any that goes past recruitment phase.
2. Any that goes past post #100.
3. Any that goes past 6th level.Bonus: Any that finishes the storyline.
Apart from those, all could be ok with a good mix of nice players and nice GM.
Considering this, I recognize that there is a certain element of the idea that "If you build it, they will come."
I'll confess that my main purpose here is to identify which campaigns the most people want to play, and which campaign I want to run so that we can achieve that synergy of players and GM, with no one getting burnt out. I want to be in this for the long haul.

Thank you for this. This may cut the amount of time I spend deciding down by quite a bit.
Tyrant's Grasp
Hell's Rebels
War for the Crown
Since we are giving top draws, I would throw out that Jade Regent and Curse of the Crimson Throne typically get a decent amount of interest. I will give a top 5 that I would be interested in personally... make of it what you will:
5) Kingmaker. A lot of folks like the idea of making their own kingdom from scratch. Some of the mechanics were a bit prototypical though.
4) Iron Gods. Tech based, but not full on Starfinder. And who doesn't like a story about folks finding tech items that are way more advanced than them, trying to figure out what they are and what they do.
3) Hell's Rebels/Hell's Vengeance. Depends on which side of the conflict you feel like running: evil loyalists or good rebels. Decent draw either way.
2) Jade Regent. A recruitment just closed for it that took 6 and left 30 other qualified applicants... plus a few dots for interest that weren't completed by the deadline. Enough said.
1) Curse of the Crimson Throne. Honestly one of my favorites. If you ran this I would make the time to create an application for it.... but don't do it just for me, lol.
1. Wrath of the Righteous
2. Skull & Shackles
3. Iron Gods
Tyrant's Grasp

I understand that you wanted 1st Ed. Pathfinder. I have not heard an actually release date yet but what about the 10th anniversary of Kingmaker.

To the best of my understanding, that's now been pushed off to early next year, can someone more in the know confirm or refute?

And it's being released as 2E, right?

I think, with conversion notes for both PF1 and 5e. Again, check with someone who wasn't hit with a permanent scatterbrain spell.
Just to give my own two cents:
1. Ruins of Azlant
2. Iron Gods
3. Ironfang Invasion
1. Carrion Crown
2. Strange Aeons
3. Hell's Rebels
Good luck!
1) Skull & Shackles: I have never played an adventure on the high sea. Seems like it could be very cool.
2) Kingmaker: I have never had the privilege of playing this one, but I am running it currently...
3) Tyrant's Grasp: The is one I know nothing about and that in itself is inviting.
1) Skull & Shackles: I have never played an adventure on the high sea. Seems like it could be very cool.Bring a mop!
In my (very limited) exposure to S&S, they were all too happy to supply you with the mop.
(Tries with all his might to not rejigger his list to include Skull & Shackles.)
I do appreciate every response that has given. I think I've read more about all the different pathfinder AP's and people's reviews of them than I thought I ever would.
With that in mind, I've made a list of the AP's I'm considering running.
Click if you would like to participate in the final round of voting for the AP that will be run.
Please vote only once.
I'm asking for assistance because each time I settle on one, something about one of the others pops up and intrigues me.
Voting will be open until Sunday night or if 24 hours pass with no change in the results. Recruitment will start on Monday.
