Adventure path

An adventure path is a series of interlinked adventures (a campaign) for tabletop role-playing games which can be played in succession and lead characters to advance from lower to higher levels, through a particular path of events.

While campaigns exist for many role-playing game systems, the specific term Adventure Path discussed here applies to published adventures for the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy roleplaying game. Adventure paths in contrast to normal campaigns usually have their own (sub)setting and supplemental rules apart from the basic rules and settings.

Origin and Dungeon magazine

Though the term was originally applied to the series of Dungeons & Dragons third edition adventures beginning with The Sunless Citadel, it later came to refer to several lengthy series, each consisting of 11 or 12 installments, published sequentially in Dungeon magazine.

Each set in the World of Greyhawk™ campaign setting, the Dungeon adventure paths are:

• Shackled City (2003)
• Age of Worms (2005)
• Savage Tide(2006)

After Dungeon became an online magazine for subscribers, one adventure path for fourth edition was published (though it was not set in Greyhawk).

• Scales of War (2008)
