If I read an AP book after going through as a player, will I encounter spoilers for the upcoming books?


Pathfinder Second Edition General Discussion

Radiant Oath

Specifically, I'm currently going through Hellknight Hill as a player. If I were to read it after we complete it, would I encounter spoilers for the rest of the Age of a Ashes AP? Thanks!

Most definitely.

As a fellow player of an Age of Ashes AP, a lot of elements in the earlier books have come up in future books, and vice-versa, and I know this simply because when we've gone back to deal with stuff, we've had to reference the previous books for information, and some of the stuff we get in the previous book hooks into something for the next book. (Not all, but some, and depending on the AP direction, you can configure what those things are before the next book begins.)

I would say after you either TPK and move on to another AP, or finish the AP itself, can you read through the book and take notes of things you might have missed along the way, or to refresh your memory if you decide to run the AP as a GM for another set of players.

Always, yes. Especially because the beginning adventure description literally tells you the background, and other things you shouldn't know.

Ok, thanks. I thought so, but I just thought I'd ask.

Yeah, I figured. I was just hoping I was wrong. That's ok. I can be patient. Thanks.
