Has anyone here run the AP? Any thoughts, suggestions or advice that anyone can give? Note this is NOT a thread to edition war so please stick to topic.

I have not run it, but there was a newer updated version released - are you going to run that or the original?

I ran it for a while and then COVID kind of derailed our campaign. I have the hardcover version which is version 2 of the Pathfinder I version.

I plan to run the anniversary edition of the AP. If anyone has any suggestions on running it let me know.

I played through the original and had a lot of fun. Later when I was talking to the GM once the campaign ended, he mentioned that there were not enough magic items to successfully beef up the PCs for the final boss fight - so we took a Side Trek into the Rise of the Runelords AP.

Sorry that isn't very helpful, but I was a Player and not the GM.

After that I swore I'd never run Pathfinder ever again! The PCs doubled in power every couple sessions and by the end were vastly OP for the adventure. Now I use 5e D&D for Paizo adventures.

The first two books are good, book 2 is very good. After that it gets distinctly iffy. Book 4 'Dances with Cinderwolves' made no sense and we skipped it. Book 5 was a slog. Book 6 is a decent finale but at level 12-14 my PF PCs with two powergamer players (inc a Summoner) were way way overpowered for the opposition.
