Pathfinder Adventure Path

See also: Index of articles (1E), Index of articles (2E), and Category:Adventure paths

Pathfinder Adventure Path is a series of monthly publications released by Paizo Inc. Each volume consists of one segment of a multi-part series of adventures linked together by a story arc and theme, with the exception of the special 200th issue, which is a standalone adventure. In addition to the main adventure, each issue also features support articles (1E and 2E) on the Pathfinder campaign setting, new monsters, and (through the end of the Strange Aeons Adventure Path) serial Pathfinder's Journal fiction.

Each Adventure Path includes a free Player's Guide that provides a spoiler-free overview of the path, as well as tips and content to help players create characters for the campaign. Some books from other Pathfinder product lines such as Pathfinder Lost Omens are released in concert with specific Adventure Paths to provide related setting context and rules options.

The first two Adventure Paths for the OGL-licensed Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 rules set were revised into hardcover compilations for the Pathfinder First Edition rules set, the Rise of the Runelords Anniversary Edition and the Curse of the Crimson Throne hardcover edition. The First Edition Adventure Path Kingmaker was revised and expanded into the Kingmaker hardcover for Pathfinder Second Edition, which was also accompanied by supplementary products such as the Kingmaker Bestiary sourcebooks for converting the campaign to Pathfinder First Edition rules and, for the first time in Paizo's history, converting the campaign to the D&D 5E rules set. Two Second Edition Adventure Paths were collected into hardcover compilations, Abomination Vaults and Fists of the Ruby Phoenix. Abomination Vaults was also converted to the D&D 5E rules set as an OGL hardcover.

For OGL 3.5 and Pathfinder First Edition

The tradition of Adventure Paths was begun by Paizo when they published the official Dungeons & Dragons periodicals Dungeon and Dragon. When these magazines were discontinued in summer 2007, Paizo continued the popular tradition, now set in their own proprietary game setting—the world of Golarion. The line was originally titled simply Pathfinder, inspired by the company's prior success publishing adventure paths for Dungeons & Dragons, but was changed to the current Pathfinder Adventure Path when additional Pathfinder-branded product lines were introduced.

Originally published using the OGL-licensed Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 rules set, Pathfinder Adventure Paths—along with all other Pathfinder products—converted to the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game rules in August 2009. Each 3.5 and Pathfinder First Edition Adventure Path path is intended to take a party of characters from 1st level to upwards of 14th level over the course of the series, but individual adventures can be run independent of the overall path should a GM wish to do so.

Each Adventure Path is helmed by a lead developer who sees it from concept to outline, and from six raw turnovers from freelance authors into a coherent whole. The first six APs were helmed by Creative Director James Jacobs, who then co-developed Serpent's Skull with Developer Rob McCreary. Beginning with the Carrion Crown Adventure Path, McCreary and Jacobs alternated lead development of APs through Hell's Vengeance. Thereafter, Developers Adam Daigle and Crystal Frasier alternated development on the next four APs. Jacobs returned to the lead developer seat for Return of the Runelords, while Developer Ron Lundeen helmed the Tyrant's Grasp Adventure Path, the last in support of Pathfinder First Edition.

For Pathfinder Second Edition

Starting with the Age of Ashes Adventure Path, the line began using Pathfinder Second Edition rules and incorporated the advanced timeline of the Pathfinder Lost Omens product line. Sky King's Tomb was the first Adventure Path to incorporate some of the revisions from the Pathfinder Second Edition Remaster Project, and Wardens of Wildwood is the first to incorporate all of the project's revisions and be licensed under the Open RPG Creative (ORC) License.

The Adventure Path line changed from First Edition in two notable ways: In Second Edition, every six-issue Adventure Path runs the game's full level range from 1st to 20th level, and many Adventure Paths are three issues long. One Adventure Path, Season of Ghosts, was four issues long. The Seven Dooms for Sandpoint special 200-page issue, the line's 200th, was a standalone Adventure Path in one book.

Pathfinder Adventure Card Game

With the launch of the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game, Paizo and Lone Shark Games began adapting Adventure Path stories for card game play. An adapted Pathfinder Adventure Path has an equivalent Base Set, and each issue has a corresponding Adventure Deck.

Supporting product lines

In addition to the primary Adventure Path game products, Paizo produces several lines of complementary products for individual Adventure Paths.

• Pathfinder Battles: Paizo's official line of prepainted plastic miniatures, produced under license by WizKids Inc., sometimes features sets of miniatures depicting monsters and characters from specific Adventure Paths.
• Pathfinder Cards: Decks of item and face cards provide visual aids and tracking tools for gear and NPCs that appear in Adventure Path issues.
• Pathfinder Legends: Audio drama performances produced by Big Finish Productions bring Adventure Path stories featuring the iconic Pathfinder characters to life.
• Pathfinder Pawns: When paired with the Bestiary Boxes, these Adventure Path-themed sets of cardstock miniatures serve as gameplay aids capable of representing all monsters in each of a Path's encounters.
• Poster Map Folios: Poster-sized maps show locations that play prominent roles in each Adventure Path.

Their greatest success, the line of magical artifacts known as Wardstones that stand sentinel along the Worldwound's border, barely manages to contain the demons. So when one of the wardstones is sabotaged, a city falls and the demons within surge out in a massive assault like none before.

Hakotep I, a now-forgotten pharaoh, was robbed upon his burial. A secret sect took his heart and his funerary mask, both containing a portion of his soul. Betrayed the chance to pass on into the afterlife during his burial, Hakotep has existed in a state between life and death for millennia. The recent rediscovery of one of these lost soul fragments has allowed the trapped pharaoh to once again work in this world to redress the wrongs committed against him, and a cult worshipping him as a god-king grows in the heart of Osirion. Can a group of heroes brave terrible guardians, foul cults, and the burning sands of the desert to stop the rebirth of this ancient tyrant?

The fragmented remnants of a ship from beyond the stars fell from the sky, scattering strange technological ruins and deadly perils across the land. Today, these sites are feared by the barbaric tribes and coveted by the sinister spellcasters of the Technic League.

Heroes defending the human town of Trunau from an orc raid discover that the attack is just a precursor to the Storm Tyrant's larger plans. Working their way through an abandoned border fort, an ancient giant temple, the tomb of an undead frost giant, and an elite fire giant training facility beneath a dormant volcano, the heroes eventually take the fight to the Storm Tyrant himself inside his flying fortress.

As the uprising gathers strength, the evil adventurers must defeat the valiant knights and their celestial allies to stop the rebellion's spread through Cheliax and preserve Thrune's oppressive rule.
