I always prepare the location's deck of each adventures with few selected cards (and random's ones to complete each sets.)
I did that because I play with some of my rpg players (who play the Runlords AP with me few years ago) and some players who never play rpg.
So, even if it's a cards game, I try to "explain" what's happened during the adventure to new players (and try to fit to the adventures older's one used to play).
For exemple, when goblins attack sandpoint, half of the monsters of the location deck are goblins to match with the original adventure.
