[QUOTE="Pauper, post: 7658251, member: 17607"] [MENTION=6774924]secondhander[/MENTION] - As I understand it, the only real connection between the Encounters adventure (the first three chapters of Princes of the Apocalypse) and the Expeditions adventures is that they both use the overall setting of the Elemental Evil story. Using Tyranny of Dragons as an example, the Encounters adventures were set in the Sword Coast while the Expeditions adventures were set in the Moonsea, specifically in and around the city of Phlan. Both sets of adventures featured the machinations of the Cult of the Dragon, but each set had its own story progression, and there was virtually no overlap or connection between the two other than that the Cult was involved. I'd imagine that the Elemental Evil season will work similarly -- the team of writers who put Expeditions adventures together aren't at all the folks who wrote Princes of the Apocalypse, and it's hard to know just how much if any coordination the two groups of writers could actually have. As for the Expeditions adventures eventually being combined into a PDF and released for sale, that's a good idea -- but it's not one that's ever been done for any other Living Campaign I'm aware of. (The closest we've gotten is that the 4th Edition Living Forgotten Realms adventures are, mostly, available for free download.) Some older RPGA adventures are collectors items, because running them at a convention was the only way to get them. -- Pauper [/QUOTE]
