On Friday I finished reading through my final Pathfinder Adventure Path volume. (I still have one final PDF, "The Emerald Spire Superdungeon" to read, but that's not part of the subscription and was something I bought to use up some store credit I had on Paizo's site.) That marks the end of the 24th Path they've published, and also the end of their content for 1st edition. As I've decided not to follow 2nd edition, both due to a dislike to some of what I'd seen and also because I'd be unlikely ever to play it anyway.
"Tyrant's Grasp" was probably a perfect place to end 1st edition - not only did it pit the heroes against the biggest Big Bad in their setting, and a figure they've been teasing for a decade, but it also really summed up everything that has characterised the Paths in recent years, for good and ill. Basically, I've found they've been becoming rather same-y of late, and so it was probably time to bow out regardless of the edition change... and so good to have that motivation.
Still, I do feel a bit bad about it. This marks the first time in a couple of decades that I haven't had a regular delivery of RPG-related material (first the Dragon/Dungeon magazines, and then Pathfinder). And with D&D dropping down to a trickle of new material, and my not really following any other game, that means I'm suddenly adrift.
