Adventures can definitely play differently than they read, and I haven't played either. But SKT feels like a mess, especially in terms of character motivation: <ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">rushed intro to get characters to 5th level</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">terrible motivation for them to continue from there (trek halfway across the continent to tell a stranger that their relative, also a stranger, is dead)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Really confused overall arc: kraken + daughters + dragon behind murder + kidnapping that characters have no reason to ever know/care about, which is actually totally independent of the breaking of the ordning that is instigating all the other action - so why do we care about the murder/kidnapping again? Shouldn't our main goal be to shut down the giant lords that are actually doing nasty things?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol"> Ancient blue dragon bursts in in the mid-game because she somehow knows everything that's going on, and doesn't kill the characters - why? Just to get another deus ex machina NPC (Harshnag) out of the way, it seems. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol"> Yet another ancient dragon who also somehow knows everything that's going on sends along an airship to help the characters - why? </li> </ol></blockquote>
