I'd love to see 2e get this treatment.

[ren_dhark]

The best reason for becoming a Lich is having enough time to play through all these fabulous adventure paths you didn't manage in one lifetime!

[dylanramsey]

There's something very satisfying about seeing each of the adventure paths together on a map like this.

[simmonslucas]

Hell's Rebels and Hell's Vengeance could be run concurrently with two different groups, if you have that many friends - I don't. Each would have opposing adventuring groups in story and IRL that group would be your other group of friends. You could end with an amazing PVP encounter to determine the future of Cheliax . This would be hard to accomplish, but if you could pull it off, it would so bad ass.

Minor quibble - Jade Regent starts in Varisia in the same starting town as Rise of the Runelords. You then go on an epic journey from there to go over the North Pole and then into Tian-Xia. The last two books of the AP are the only ones set in Minkai.

It would be nice to see the same idea, but with Pathfinder 2e Adventure Paths, as it seems like new people get to know Pathfinder with the second edition. I'd personally be interested to see it as well, because you're doing a good job with these videos.

[theophrastusbombastus]

As a complete PF noob, this was very informative. Thank you very much for your time and effort👍

[ninouTTV]

amazing job man, i would like and recommand a deep dive and a recap ( with spoilers ) to each of the paths, like the detailed recap of the story and what happen at the end, would be and amazing content 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Coming originally from D&D 5e adventure modules, this has opened my eyes (in Pathfinder first edition standards) of what can be accomplished with this versatility of stories and locations. Love your content, keep it up! Have a stupendous day everyone! Thanks for the vid.

I love Rise of the Runelords and Curse of the Crimson Throne so much as they were my first big adventures as a player and a DM respectively.
I will day, one "big" change I made to Crimson that makes the starting part of the adventure more cohesive is the party are all members of the city guard of Korvosa. It changes very little of the plot and helps give the PCs motivation beyond "this is the adventure so we have to follow this path" and when you look at the encounters in Edge of Anarchy, they kinda gear towards a guards background. Dealing with Underworld Kingpins, hunting down body stealing necromancers and possible assassins of king, quelling mobs, chasing down costumed vigilantes and possibly becoming ones themselves, routing deserting Guardsmen? All perfect encounters for a group of doey eyed guards. And then the intro of the Gray Maidens to "replace them" gives good built in antagonistic traits from the start.

[VampireGamer]

I must recommend The Price of Immortality, which is made up of 3 modules, Crypt of the Everflame (Dungeon Crawl), Masks of the Living God (Spycraft) and The City of Golden Death (Exploration+Dungeon).
The first 2 take place in Nirmathas, with the final adventure taking you to the Isle of Terror. These adventures take the party from level 1 to 7 and are very open ended after completing them, which encourages the GM to build their own adventures to keep the story going.
The main focus is Razmir, the Living God and when I ran these adventures to get the party started, we ended up going all the way to level 20 to finally defeat Razmir.

These are some of the greatest adventures I have ever run and I would suggest them for any GM, new or experienced.

[damienhailey]

It should be noted that two-thirds of Reign of Winter takes place away from the Inner Sea region, with half of it taking place off Golarion itself.

[sessione]

Please, continue with these videos. They were what I was searching a loooong time ago when I first met pathfinder, and even if I need them less nowdays, they're still very insightful and helpful

[lecabillaud]

As a museum piece RPG old stager trying to keep up after decades of recess, I'm seduced by the Pathfinder 2e mechanics and the polished classicism of the Golarion setting. This kind of content is a treat for me.
This is brilliant work, by the way! Your channel deserves a big success.

[LarvalGhoul]

This was incredible and informative! Thank you so much for making Pathfinder 1E content!

[todgagliano]

Great video. Nice summation. I would love a Pf2E adventure paths version.

[Tintros]

Definitely like to see more of this, and pointing out things like where the AP has issues (like the middle falling out of Carrion Crown), or like Kingmaker where the fan-produced additions to it found on Paizo's forums can make a great AP into an even better one.

[oliverklar]

Thank you for this wonderful and detailed overview! Really helped me select a path to run with my group

[FilkoSempai]

this was actually a big help in deciding what i want to run for my first proper pathfinder adventure path, ty mr Keeper

[Arbiter]

Awesome breakdown. Very helpful for me as a long time player (close to 15 years at this point) but still rather novice GM to get an idea of what's out there and what to sort of expect from the officially released, not "my own original adventure" sort of stuff in the inner sea.
ONLY critique is I wish you would have overviewed the level parameters, like "This takes you from 1-20" or "this takes you from 5-15" or something, as my table is well tired of level 1 games starting and ending before we reach the mid game.
Otherwise very informative without giving too much away.

Thanks for the time it took to make this!
