But, it really depends on your DM style. I tend to sand box in the Elder Scroll style, or I like to say open old First Edt DND style. I also find simple & effective character builds for backgrounds a good allround thing to do and helps GMs find possible plug in points for side quests.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06000175911083416753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735644144263744003.post-59878804042168270682013-08-25T05:39:29.796-04:002013-08-25T05:39:29.796-04:00Currently using this in RotRL, have to say the bac...Currently using this in RotRL, have to say the background generator has really bought out the details in the characters and REALLY helps people to get into the head space of the PC's. Plus we got one of the pc's who generated a paranoid inquisitor which has lead to no end of amusement on its own. All in all , if you are interested in role playing this book is great, if you prefer a minature combat game then this is really not for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735644144263744003.post-136987614813063842013-06-19T09:54:55.323-04:002013-06-19T09:54:55.323-04:00I can't see us playing through either Kingmake...I can't see us playing through either Kingmaker or CoT again. We're currently working our way through RotRL AE. Lots of traveling in this one although we keep finding ourselves heading back to Sandpoint. Not so much downtime either. We're about half way through book 5 so because everything takes so long at high levels we're probably good until the end of the year. We tend to rotate GMs so its hard to say who will take over and what we'll be playing. If its me it will likely be CotCT or Way of the Wicked if people want to go evil again (which always seems to happen when I'm the GM).Obirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13423387256920495798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735644144263744003.post-88881287525026477002013-06-16T12:32:53.350-04:002013-06-16T12:32:53.350-04:00Some of the adventure paths don't have a lot o...Some of the adventure paths don't have a lot of available downtime, it's true. However, the amount of use you could get out of Ultimate Campaign with an AP depends on the AP. I'd love to make use of the downtime and revised kingdom building rules in a Kingmaker game one day, for example. The downtime rules could also really help flesh out a Council of Thieves game, allowing the PCs to develop their characters' lives in the city.<br /><br />For APs with less available downtime (for example, Reign of Winter so far has had virtually none at all), there's definitely less use for this book. Still, some of the systems in Chapter Three could prove useful. The fame and reputation system, for example, could be used in just about any AP (except maybe Reign of Winter, which just doesn't stick around in any one location long enough to gain any reputation).<br /><br />In the end, you need to make the decision based on your campaign's needs.Michael Ray Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15651916698207855060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735644144263744003.post-2964085598014718482013-06-16T12:12:47.910-04:002013-06-16T12:12:47.910-04:00I had this book in my hands yesterday and decided ...I had this book in my hands yesterday and decided to put it down. We tend to play adventure paths almost exclusively and I just wasn't sure this book would add much to those. I'll see if anyone in my gaming group picked it up and maybe give it a good read. Seems like it might be useful after all.Obirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13423387256920495798noreply@blogger.com
