View Full Version : Which PF Adventure Path?

So I'm running a game for some new players and want to run an adventure path.

I'm a busy guy so I don't want to have to bother converting one from 3.5 to PF (I know there aren't that many differences, but I want it to feel distinct from 3.5 so those are important differences) which leaves me with:

Council of Thieves

Kingmaker

Serpent's Skull

Carrion Crown

Kingmaker is out since it involves learning a new rule system which I don't want to heap on new players (plus I may be playing in it soon and don't want to ruin the fun).

Given the other choices, which one do you like and why?

I haven't actually played any of them, but I've heard good things about Carrion Crown.

Currently running the Carrion Crown Adventure path and it is quite good. Finished the haunting of harrowstone and currently on the Trial of the Beast. Harrowstone has a nice flavor to it and requires some good investigation/role-play skills in the beginning half so that might entice new players who don't want to rush right into combat.

Our group will be starting Serpent's Skull next month (when some of our group come back from their holidays)
From what I can see, it has a good starting premise (PC's are passengers on a ship, which sinks).

I enjoy serpent's skull. However, none is exactly as awesome as the previous ones. Forcity-base the throne is better, for sheer epicness legacy of fire is better and for generic adventure runelords is better, so...

Kingmaker is pretty thoroughly amazing. The kingdom stuff can be a lot of bookkeeping though, some players are really into it, some are not.
