During the Big Finish podcast a couple of months ago John Ainsworth said that series 3 is coming and made it clear that the intention was to do another Adventure Path. But he couldn't tell us which one. Being slightly obsessive and over excitable, I thought I'd put up a poll to see which one people want it to be.
Below is a quick summary of the Adventure Paths not yet covered for those who don't know them.
Curse of the Crimson Throne
The city of Korvosa is perched on the edge of anarchy—the king is dead, and rumours whisper that his young queen might be responsible.
Second Darkness
A strange shadow lurks in the sky above the city of Riddleport, and the doomsayers take it as a sign of the approaching end of the world but the true menace comes not from the skies above but the benighted passages of the subterranean Darklands.
Legacy of Fire
Long ago, two warring armies of genies fought on the slopes of Pale Mountain, and the world shook under the power of their wishcraft. Today, the armies are wakening, and one potent efreeti warlord is ready to pick up where he left off!
Council of Thieves
Once the seat of mighty Imperial Cheliax, the decaying metropolis of Westcrown now stands wrecked and ruined, haunted by mysterious shadow beasts and besieged by the agents of the nation's new diabolical rulers. Amid this chaos, a growing schism in the city's influential Council of Thieves threatens to tear Westcrown apart.
Kingmaker
The wild and dangerous Stolen Lands lie in the northern reaches of the River Kingdoms, realms ripe for the taking! Yet those who would become rulers of these new lands will soon learn that claiming a kingdom and keeping it are two different beasts.
Serpent's Skull
A chance shipwreck in pirate-infested waters sets the heroes on a chase to discover a lost city in the jungles of the treacherous Mwangi Expanse, while various factions are also on the hunt to discover the city's forgotten secrets.
Carrion Crown
The Cult of the Whispering Way weaves a wide-ranging conspiracy throughout the horror-tinged lands of Ustalav aimed at freeing the Lich King Tar-Baphon, better known as the Whispering Tyrant, from his eternal prison in the dungeon of Gallowspire. Their debased rites and malicious schemes set werewolf against vampire and ghost against terror from beyond time and space.
Jade Regent
When a decades-old secret is exposed, an unassuming tavern-owner discovers her birthright is to rule one of the ancient Dragon Empires of Tian Xia—the empire of Minkai. Yet the current ruler of this empire, the mysterious and increasingly cruel Jade Regent, has no intention of giving up his hold over the throne.
Skull & Shackles
There's adventure to be had on the high seas when a group of press-ganged strangers seizes a ship and becomes embroiled in the plots and politics of the Shackles — an infamous island chain dominated by pirate warlords.
Shattered Star
The seven-pointed star known as the Sihedron is well known to scholars of ancient Thassilon. When the Emperor was betrayed by the Runelords, they shattered his Sihedron and hid the fragments in holdings throughout the land, today, these fragments are surfacing.
Reign of Winter
It has been a century since the immortal witch Baba Yaga last visited the world, and the hour draws nigh for her return. But when she fails to appear in the frozen realm of Irrisen to usher in its newest ruler, pockets of winter begin to grow throughout the Inner Sea region.
Wrath of the Righteous
The Worldwound tore reality apart at the dawn of the Age of Lost Omens, murdering the nation of Sarkoris and unleashing a ravenous demonic horde upon the world. So when one of the wardstones, the line of magical artefacts, a city falls and the demons within surge out in a massive assault like none before.
Iron Gods
Numeria has a long history of mystery and wonder buried under its rugged landscape, for on that one fateful night thousands of years ago, the Rain of Stars scarred the land. The Iron Gods are ready to make their presence known, and if they are not opposed, a scourge unlike any the Inner Sea has seen will arise!
Giantslayer
Deep in the Mindspin Mountains, a storm giant warlord known as the Storm Tyrant has seized control of a cloud castle and an Orb of Dragonkind, and is gathering an army of giants from across western Avistan.
Hell's Rebels
Paracount Barzillai Thrune has placed the city of Kintargo under martial law, and his cruel proclamations and sinister plans for the city bode ill. Can a small group of heroes stand against the might of the Thrice-Damned House of Thrune and the Church of Asmodeus?
Hell's Vengeance
Under the leadership of a zealous paladin of Iomedae,goddess of honor, justice, and valor, a new knightly order called the Glorious Reclamation seeks to purge Cheliax of its diabolical taint by overthrowing the House of Thrune and reclaim the country for its people. Can our wicked antiheroes quell dissent and uphold the infernal laws of Cheliax and its diabolic rulers?
