While the Grey Guard were having a city flattened around them, the Merchant Princes fought off an assassination while naked in a steam bath, then were given a reward before being invited to stay in a subpalace and attend a dragonborn opera (the ones where all the melee on stage is real fighting.)  The heroes were draped in rich fabrics and given dinner. There is a festival going on. There was not a swamp in sight. I think running two simultaneous campaigns would be much tougher if they had a similar tone. The Merchant Prince heroes are from very high society and are typically treated as such, but they're adventuring on the southern jungle continent that hasn't yet been colonized by Capria. That sets up some fascinating social challenges and makes for an exploration- and politics-heavy game. In comparison, the Grey Guard are politically neutral monster-hunters in the middle of great political upheaval. I don't have much of a point with this, other than to say it's good to think about the theme of each of your games. Both of these ongoing campaigns are going to change and intersect in some interesting ways. Making sure they feel different and distinct will help.</blockquote>
