[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 2385286, member: 2209"] I've run Lord of the Iron Fortress and Demon God's Fane at the same time, having the plot hooks from one mix into the other. They are both for 15th level characters and the party mostly did preliminary investigations for one, then almost exclusively focused on the other while having NPCs do some research and periodic checking in on them for the first and are now at 16th level deep back into the first one again. There was some PC confusion as they believed everything had to be tied into one big plot even though the connections were not obvious (or as it turned out, even there). Both of the plots were tied into the party's prior actions in the banewarrens and the campaign world history. I also had a campaign plot of imperial civil war erupting around the same time as they were on the frontier dealing with one of the module plots. It adds a lot to the campaign to have plots on the back burner and have independent world actions ongoing that the PCs know about and can get involved in. Foreshadowing of things to be addressed adds substance and cohesion to a long term campaign and makes the experience more of a deep story type of thing than the feel of a series of single issue comics that some campaigns can have.
