The Rise of the Runelords product line contains the first Base Set, 5 Adventure Decks, and Character Add-On Deck released for the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game.
2 seasons of Organized Play use the Rise of the Runelords Base Set + Adventure Path:
- Season of the Runelords (Season 2)
- Season of the Goblins! (Season 2B)
Base Set[]
Only the Base Set is needed to start playing Rise of the Runelords with 1-4 players. It ships with 7 very different characters and 8~1 hour scenarios, including the first Adventure Deck. The game expands to 1-6 players and 11 characters by adding the Character Add-On Deck.
Base Set contents are described in their own article.
Adventure Path[]
Evil is brewing in the sleepy coastal town of Sandpoint. An attack by vicious goblins reveals the shadows of an ancient evil stirring in the distant mountains, drawing in crazed murderers, inbred ogres, and warlike stone giants, ultimately leading to an epic conflict with a mighty wizard-king, the inheritor to an empire of unfathomable sin magic, in his fabled mountaintop city.
Which each adventure deck can technically be played with only the initial cards in the Base Set, you can most easily run a smooth, interconnected campaign by starting with either of the Base Set adventures (B or 1) and advancing down this list.
Name | Deck Number | US Release Date |
---|---|---|
Perils Of The Lost Coast | B (in Base Set) | |
Burnt Offerings | 1 (in Base Set) | |
The Skinsaw Murders | 2 | |
Hook Mountain Massacre | 3 | |
Fortress of the Stone Giants | 4 | |
Sins of the Saviors | 5 | |
Spires of Xin-Shalast | 6 |
Reward for completing this Adventure Path: Each character gains a card feat.
This reward only matters if you:
- Jump your character into the later chapters of Wrath of the Righteous. [Need link to relevant Paizo blog]
- Play homebrew/community scenarios that provide continued high-level adventures for your characters, possibly providing further advancement opportunities.
Organized Play has its own separate schedule for granting rewards - this one doesn't apply there.
