Still, I'm very happy to change the adventure as I go to make it more bespoke to my party (that's been the most fun part of PoA for me.) I'm guessing the Dark Secret is there thematically so the PC learning to forgive themselves and become heroes echoes Zariel's possible redemption so I can lean in to that.Really torn on 'spoil twist; vs 'give everyone clear expectations.' My group are getting a bit 'why do WE have to be the ones to defeat all these cults?' in PoA currently, where we didn't have a session zero because they were just figuring out what D&D is or can be. Now I feel like I need to get them signed up at the beginning to avoid moaning if the story drags in a couple of sessions later on. (While also doing my best to make sure it doesn't drag.)</blockquote>
