While your bills were 7% lower. There’s an entire new side adventure in the form of a dungeon run by the Grey Maidens, as well as a bunch of new player options, including spells and magic items. It's slightly darker than other modules I've DM'ed but these give some moral issues for the players to grapple with and really build the foundations for the city in chaos.
An entire adventure in one fantasy city can begin to feel claustrophobic, so I understand the inclusion of chapter 4, which provides an opportunity for the adventurers to “get some air” outside the city walls. Gamers will love the detective aspect of this chapter trying to discover the plague's origin. There are plenty of places for your players to shine–and there’s lots of ways for them to get more entangled in the world that Curse of the Crimson Throne sets up. Plus more, like toys, the MCU, and Star Wars. Ask around among Pathfinder gamers about the best published adventure path, and a couple paths rise to the top. Curse of the Crimson Throne is updated, fixed, and fully loaded for a long term dive into the political turmoil of the city of Korvosa. Edge of Anarchy is a great adventure. In Curse of the Crimson Throne the players are thrown into a world of unrest, plague, anarchy, intrigue and regicide. The nation of Varisia is on the edge, and once it goes over, only the players can bring it back. As one of the earlier adventure paths this story was originally written for D&D 3.5.

By and large Paizo has done a wonderful job of keeping D&D 3.5 alive. So whether you’re looking to run a new campaign, or for something that you can use to spice up your ongoing game, it is definitely worth picking up the new Curse of the Crimson Throne, available now at your local game store. We send 2-4 emails a month maximum. The previous hardcover done by Paizo–Rise of the Runelords–has become almost mythic in the way that it is routinely recommended for players who are new to the Pathfinder RPG, but I’d place Curse of the Crimson Throne as a strong 1b to Rise of the Runelord‘s 1a.

Curse of the Crimson Throne adds 550 new cards, four more character pawns, and a 48-page storybook that includes six chapters of the new Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path. Paizo is now undeniably at the top of their game. The whole adventure feels just as detailed. From there, the players are swept up in the events that wrack the city of Korvosa as its king dies and a queen ascends the throne.
