[QUOTE="SelcSilverhand, post: 4478141, member: 30016"] I'm DM'ing RotRL and will be playing a character in CotCT next month. Can't comment much on the second series since we haven't started playing it, but so far my players have loved the first AP. They didn't really figure out what was going on until the end of the 4th book, the whole time they were blaming all the bad stuff on a certain evil deity. If you run the first one, be sure to read the paizo forums for that AP as there are a lot of useful tips and stories to draw from. In my own experience, two things I would have changed in the way I ran my game. First off I didn't spend as much time as I should have fleshing out the town. The players had some fun seeing the sights, but didn't get too invested there. They are used to our games starting off in a small town that you never see again. Second, I would have moved the location of the third book a bit closer to town (as several other dm's have recommended as well). If the players are in a position to protect the town easier they are more likely to see the town as being important to them. By the 5th book the players were saying "What, we have to protect this place again?". Anyway, that's my 2 cents. I think you'll have fun with either one. [/QUOTE]
