Hi all. I'm GMing a group of 5 (mostly new) players through a campaign based out of Lost City of Barakus, and they're absolutely loving it. Loving it so much, in fact, that we're blazing right through the sandbox much faster than I'd expected.
My question to all of you is, where to next? I love the Frog God Games flavor and would love to continue in the Lost Lands. Unfortunately, none of my city's local game stores carry FGG products, so I can't browse through to get a feel for the other books. I'm looking for another sandbox setting in the vein of Barakus to take my group from level 5 or 6, which they will likely be by the time they finish dealing with Devron. I adore Rappon Athuk's design but to be honest I think my party is more interested in vast fantasty worlds to explore than endless megadungeons; the city of Barakus itself was about as large of a dungeon as they enjoy dealing with at once.
Any recommendations? Again, looking for a true sandbox with at least one developed hub city in the vein of Barakus and Duskmoon/Penprie/Endhome, but having some kind of epic hook in there to anchor the story would be nice. Even better would be if it smoothly integrates into the Sinnar Coast region, but that's not a dealbreaker. I was eyeing Red Hand of Doom a while ago, but it hasn't been properly Pathfinder coverted and like I said I'd love to stick with that FGG quality. Currently considering Sword of Air, Adventures in the Borderland Provinces, and Cult of the Sundered Kingdoms, but I really don't know how to shop for these products given the scarcity of reviews and no way of browsing them ahead of time (boo on Frog God Games for not providing previews), and I'm not even sure of the recommended levels. I did rule out Stoneheart Valley because I heard it was explicitly designed for level 1-5 characters in the same vein as Barakus.
Thanks in advance, y'all.
