How many Adventure Paths in second edition?


Pathfinder Adventure Path General Discussion


Currently it looks to me like we're up to 25 Adventure Paths, with the latest being Bastion of Blasphemies and Waking Tigers and then Vaultlines coming up. Is this correct?

This used to be easy to track even when (as I have lately) I fail to keep up. This time I had to run all over the place trying to figure this out. :-(

From the Wiki, looks like 4 in D&D 3.5, 20 in 1e, and 23 currently out in 2e. Bastion will be #24, Vaultlines 25, and Tigers 26.

Meaning, as of the end of this month, there will be as many 2e APs out (though most of them half as long) as there are pre-2e altogether!

I wouldn't count three or one issue adventures as AP, personally, they are more like Adventure Driveways or Adventure Back Alleys. Too short to be an interesting story, too long for a one shot and to be honest a waste of printing material.

But I'm just old, yearning for the good old days, so don't take me serious

Having run, played, or heavily prepped 12 of the 24 pre-PF2 APs, I cannot name a single one of these 6-book APs that didn't have at least one book that just didn't need to be in there. There are some storylines which justify 6-book APs (Wrath of the Righteous probably needed that much space, for example), but I think basically all of the pre-PF2 APs I'm familiar with could be put into 3-4 books without losing much of anything in their story.


Hm. The wiki apparently doesn't count "Kingmaker Second Edition" as a 2E Adventure Path.:-(

Makes a certain ammount of sense, it also doesn't list Rise of the Runelords or Curse of the Crimson Throne as 1e APs, even though they got collected aas such. Seems to be going off the magazine publication order, hardcover remasters are rolled into the original publication.

I would disagree. Shattered Star have all books doing it's task. It's AP that created as reason to delve in different dungeons and fight monsters. And all books have big dungeons to explore.
