Hi there,
I am currently running the RotR AP, and while we have a good time, I think I need to shorten it a bit. Currently we are in the middle of Skinsaw Murders, my will be attacking Aldern shortly.
We do not like huge Dungeon Crawls that much, so cutting some of those (or condensing them down to the main theme/encounter) might be a good idea.
I wohl like to get the whole story done in about 15-20 session of 4 hours each. An avarage session sees us fighting 2 big encounters and doing a lot of RP, which is importand to the whole group. (Thats why we prefere short dungeons / encounter areas)
Which parts of the story could I cut without loosing a lot? How would you do it? Which 'dungeons' can be cut or replaced by a single encounter?
I have no problem with scaling encoutners or whole adventures, and I think ending the path at level 12 would be okay. (My group is currently level 6)
