Does AoW contain spoilers for Shackled City?


Age of Worms Adventure Path


I am currently playing in a Shackled City campaign. I was thinking of simultaneously DMing another campaign, and am considering Age of Worms. But I don't want to spoil Shackled City for me. So, that's my question: will reading the Age of Worms adventures as a DM spoil Shackled City for me as a player?

Cheers,
Bull.

Yes. It spoils some of the most climatic moments from Shackled City: The xxxxxxxxxxx of xxxxxxxxx.
The events in the Age of Worms happen after those of the Shackled City. Some of the things that happen in The Shackled City are involved in the Age of Worms.

Not really. I'm currently playing in Shackled City and have read through all the AoW adventures since I'll be running it afterwards. It hasn't really affected me much. A certain cult has an appearance in the 3rd Shackled City adventure and is somewhat important in Age of Worms. One NPC appears in both adventure paths and reading AoW will reveal who that NPC works for, but it's not a major NPC in either campaign.


There is a little bit in the prophecies section late in the AoW campaign about what happens late in the SCAP campaign... not sure how detailed you want this so as to not give it away to you.

Overall though you should be fine.

Age of Worms alludes to a couple things in SCAP, one of which is a major spoiler. The same holds true for Savage Tide, it contains spoilers for both SCAP and AOWAP thus far (and that's only two issues in).

This is all from my sleep depraved memory, so take it with a grain of salt.

edit: I am specifically thinking of Three Faces of Evil when I talk about spoilers... unless I am confusing it with the later one. Oh nevermind, I am going to sleep.
