While [campaigns](/source/Campaign_(role-playing_games)) exist for many role-playing game systems, the specific term Adventure Path discussed here applies to published adventures for the *[Dungeons & Dragons](/source/Dungeons_%26_Dragons)* and *[Pathfinder](/source/Pathfinder_Roleplaying_Game)* [fantasy](/source/Fantasy) [roleplaying games](/source/Roleplaying_game). Adventure Paths in opposition to normal campaigns usually have an own setting and rule set apart from the basic rules and settings. ## Origin and *Dungeon* magazine Though the term was originally applied to the series of *Dungeons & Dragons* 3rd Edition modules beginning with *[The Sunless Citadel](/source/The_Sunless_Citadel)*, it later came to refer to several lengthy series, each consisting of 11 or 12 installments, published sequentially in *[Dungeon](/source/Dungeon_(magazine))* magazine. Typically set in the *[Greyhawk](/source/Greyhawk)* [campaign setting](/source/Campaign_setting), the *Dungeon* adventure paths are: - *[Shackled City](/source/Shackled_City)* - *[Age of Worms](/source/Age_of_Worms)* - *[Savage Tide](/source/Savage_Tide)* After *Dungeon* became an online magazine for subscribers, one adventure path for 4th edition was published. - *[Scales of War](/source/Dungeon_(magazine))* ## Paizo With the transference of *Dragon* and *Dungeon* back to Wizards of the Coast, [Paizo Publishing](/source/Paizo_Publishing), which had been producing the magazines under contract to WotC, continued the Adventure Path concept in their new monthly publication, *[Pathfinder](/source/Pathfinder_(periodical))*. Paizo began publishing *Pathfinder Adventure Path* as a monthly publication in 2007. Starting with *Council of Thieves* in 2009, Paizo's modules began supporting their *[Pathfinder Roleplaying Game](/source/Pathfinder_Roleplaying_Game)* in addition to *D&D*.[1][2] Pathfinder Adventure Paths and the publication date of their first chapter: Originally published for the [d20 System](/source/D20_System) rule set under the [Open Game License](/source/Open_Game_License): - [Rise of the Runelords](/source/Rise_of_the_Runelords) (August 2007) - [Curse of the Crimson Throne](/source/Curse_of_the_Crimson_Throne) (February 2008) - [Second Darkness](/source/Second_Darkness) (August 2008) - [Legacy of Fire](/source/Legacy_of_Fire_(adventure_path)) (February 2009) Originally published for *[Pathfinder First Edition](/source/Pathfinder_Roleplaying_Game)* rule set: - [Council of Thieves](/source/Council_of_Thieves) (August 2009) - [Kingmaker](/source/Kingmaker_(adventure_path)) (February 2010) - [Serpent's Skull](/source/Serpent's_Skull) (August 2010) - [Carrion Crown](/source/Carrion_Crown) (February 2011) - [Jade Regent](/source/Jade_Regent) (August 2011) - [Skull and Shackles](/source/Skull_and_Shackles) (February 2012) - [Shattered Star](/source/Shattered_Star) (August 2012) - [Reign of Winter](/source/Reign_of_Winter) (February 2013) - [Wrath of the Righteous](/source/Wrath_of_the_Righteous) (August 2013) - [Mummy's Mask](/source/Mummy's_Mask) (February 2014) - [Iron Gods](/source/Iron_Gods) (August 2014) - [Giantslayer](/source/Giantslayer) (February 2015) - [Hell's Rebels](/source/Hell's_Rebels) (August 2015) - [Hell's Vengeance](/source/Hell's_Vengeance) (February 2016) - [Strange Aeons](/source/Strange_Aeons) (August 2016) - [Ironfang Invasion](/source/Ironfang_Invasion) (February 2017) - [Ruins of Azlant](/source/Ruins_of_Azlant) (August 2017) - [War for the Crown](/source/War_for_the_Crown) (February 2018) - [Return of the Runelords](/source/Return_of_the_Runelords) (August 2018) - [Tyrant's Grasp](/source/Tyrant's_Grasp) (February 2019) Originally published for *[Starfinder Roleplaying Game](/source/Starfinder_Roleplaying_Game)*: - [Dead Suns](/source/Dead_Suns) (August 2017) - [Against the Aeon Throne](/source/Against_the_Aeon_Throne) (August 2018) - [Signal of Screams](/source/Signal_of_Screams) (November 2018) - [Dawn of Flame](/source/Dawn_of_Flame) (February 2019) - [Attack of the Swarm!](/source/Attack_of_the_Swarm!)
