Talya Posted November 25, 2023 Clone Share Posted November 25, 2023 PF1e seems more popular here than I expected. But the last few weeks all the game adverts have been for custom settings. Is there much interest around here in just running a good ol, 25 point buy, relaxed run of an adventure path or two? I discovered APs with Owlcat's Wrath of the Righteous, and my discord Hell's Rebels campaign is on hiatus. Curious if people ever run stuff like that around here.

Inash Posted November 25, 2023 Clone Share Posted November 25, 2023 I am currently running 2 and in 6 (though 2 of those haven’t quite started) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintSalen Posted November 25, 2023 Clone Share Posted November 25, 2023 I would definitely be interested in running an AP like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namo Posted November 25, 2023 Clone Share Posted November 25, 2023 APs are really popular too in my experience. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cailano Posted November 25, 2023 Clone Share Posted November 25, 2023 I've run a few PF1e APs over the years. Curse of the Crimson Throne and Jade Regent are the ones I had the most luck with. Both are incredible APs. If I were to return to Pathfinder, I would consider the following APs to be my top three choices: Rise of the Runelords: Iconic - This is an idea I've had for a while and even attempted once. The PCs are all the Iconic PCs from 1e. Valeros, Ezren, Kyra, etc. Curse of the Crimson Throne: I'd take another stab at this one. The last time I tried it in PbP, we only got halfway into module 2. Carrion Crown Iron Gods I would consider Shattered Star as well. There are so many good APs in first edition. My problem is with the system itself. While it allows for an incredible amount of character customization, it is clunky as all get out after about 9th level. Better for a video game like Wrath of the Righteous than a tabletop game. I've thought about running them using Castles and Crusades instead of Pathfinder, but it would definitely be a different experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rakle Posted November 26, 2023 Clone Share Posted November 26, 2023 There are always people interested in PF1 APs. I could fire off a message and have at least 3 other players ready to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melkar Posted November 26, 2023 Clone Share Posted November 26, 2023 They are massively popular from what I’ve seen. I don’t think anyone posting an ad for a Pathfinder AP will be short on applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFred Posted November 26, 2023 Clone Share Posted November 26, 2023 Adventure paths are very popular - they're what Paizo is actually good at, I'd say. Of course, some are more popular than others - but pretty much any AP is likely to attract applicants. Some of us are kinda bored of characters at first level... even so, lots of people have APs they'd like to try. I have occasionally seen people do an accelerated-start version beginning a level or two in or whatever which is potentially a bonus, or put some other spin on one.

iantruesilver Posted November 28, 2023 Clone Share Posted November 28, 2023 I'm currently running 3 (one in kindergarten, another in its infancy, the third still in its neonatal stages) and playing 2 (one of which isn't technically an AP). Could add one more on the playing side I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laird_Thorne Posted November 29, 2023 Clone Share Posted November 29, 2023 One AP I've gotten in to start, but never gotten very far at all is Iron Gods. I would love to get in on a run that takes all the way through. For some reason, something about it gives me Thundarr the Barbarian vibes. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK, no group has ever completed an AP in PbP. At least not on this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cailano Posted November 30, 2023 Clone Share Posted November 30, 2023 Which does bring to mind Paizo's long-form modules like Dragon's Demand and Daughters of Fury. Those would be big undertakings in PbP but not undoable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharmingSatyr Posted November 30, 2023 Clone Share Posted November 30, 2023 I run 2 APs (one just starting book 2 and one at the last battle of book 2) and a module. I play in a bunch more. At risk of sounding like I'm patting my own back, I did a great job choosing great players. I'd love to be one of the first to actually complete an AP on this site.

I made a half orc hunter named Ookla just for that AP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish you luck! I ran Jade Regent until about halfway into Book Four a few years ago, and that may be the AP record around here. Like you, I credit great players for making that campaign work as long as it did. Even though we didn't get to complete the campaign, I have no regrets. It was a fantastic experience.
