For the 200th Adventure Path Volume, Paizo put an entire Adventure Path in a single volume. The entire Seven Dooms for Sandpoint was authored by Paizo’s Creative Director James Jacobs. This relatively new AP is already a highly-rated fan favorite.

Seven Dooms for Sandpoint is a huge dungeon crawl punctuated by trips to the iconic town of Sandpoint and some adventuring in the wilderness of the Lost Coast. Although the AP stands on its own, it is clearly intended as a love letter to Pathfinder’s early history, particularly to the events of Rise of the Runelords. Players who have previously experienced Rise of the Runelords will enjoy seeing some of their old allies and enemies resurface.

Seven Dooms for Sandpoint does an admirable job mixing dungeon delving with urban and wilderness encounters, leaving plenty of scope for a mix of play styles, from old school kick-in-the-door to complex role-playing. The AP serves as a toolkit for whichever play style the GM wants to support, with a variety of fun combats and a variety of NPCs to interact with. Plus, the ending [Hidden with inviso-text:] has a satisfying twist that GM’s and players will love.

Given that Seven Dooms for Sandpoint starts at 4th level and occurs in the same general part of the world as Rusthenge, which covers levels 1-3, Rusthenge is a natural choice for GM’s to run prior to this AP.

Highlights:

A megadungeon done right. The dungeon itself is fun and has a great variety of encounters.
There are plenty of reasons to head back to town and lots to do when you get there, including interesting NPCs and a long-term research project.
Great callbacks to Rise of the Runelords.

Drawbacks:

There isn’t a lot of room for downtime.
Despite the presence of mysteries, PCs with the Investigator class aren’t really going to be that useful, as most of the answers are in the dungeon.
