We're running Age of Worms now, and it's going great (though a bit slow, due to the group's schedules). The plot is great, the adventures are beautifully done, and most of the group has put together some awesome characters.
And then comes Savage Tide.
How am I expected to continue AoW when such an awesome AP is sitting there waiting to be played? And then there's the Savage Tidings offerings in Dragon, which I rarely buy (clever gimmick, guys).
I think I'm owed an apology... >:|

I looked into this thread to see if I could cheer you up, but I find that I agree with you completely. My group just finished Three Faces of Evil, and I REALLY want to run Savage Tide. Paizo, you've got some explaining to do... :-(
I'm not sure this will work for everyone, but I have two groups that meet every other week (so I alternate each week which group I am running).
The one group is in AoW and currently is finishing up The gathering of Winds. The Second group is in ST and currently just starting Bullywugs Gambit. I running both in Greyhawk, so minimal changes from the as written adventures. It does take a bit to get things straight in my head each game. ;)

We are in the same situation... Running two campaigns simultaneously, every second week... It's hard to handle all the goodies life provides us with. :)
LOL!
I have my FR campaign that I run (last week's episode featured a Netherese artifact that contained ancient libraries, a sarrukh-crafted disease designed to kill elves, a secret dragon-elf alliance, and a aboleth chronomancer), a Beyond the Supernatural game that I play in, and enough interest in an online Eberron campaign that I could run two of them.
Ahh...I'm basking in the roleplaying goodness. :D
Another blaring case of customer oversatisfaction. When are those...those...BUTTHEADS at Paizo going to learn that our grey little lives can only handle so much D&D flavored goodness at a given time?! Where are the "Ehhh" adventures? Where are the lame plots and disappointing monsters? Where are the cliches?
Where are the adventures that read,"The kingdom of Eldenshire needs your help! Evil ponies are causing all kinds of mischief and the king is too old and white-bearded to do anything! Maybe a wizard did it, who knows? Did you guys watch 'The Office' this week?" If I'm not bored once in a while, what's going to happen to my collection of yarn? How the heck am I going to get the "World's Biggest Yarn Ball Formed During a Mediocre Dungeons and Dragons Game Session" record if I'm too engaged in actually playing? Somebody needs to take some action. I'm so appalled, my monocle may have just broken.

Well, we did AoW, and it was awesome. I totally planned on running Shackled City, because I got the hardback, and I think it lend to great play, but now I am enamored with Savage Tide, which we will be starting about January 8th or 15th, depending on when 2 of my 5 get back from their honeymoon. I am considering doing a story hour, on the boards, but need to get good backgrounds first.
My suggestion in this case is to alternate, you gaming group. Make characters for the savage tide, and play the games on alternate meeting days, this is a little work for the GM, but if your that eager, it should be well worth it!
Re..sist..the..temptation...urgh...
