Myself and two other friends are thinking about round robining the CC AP. Can someone give me a bare-bones rundown on the flavor of each adventure (minus the last one since it isn't out yet)?
Example: Trial of the Beast = investigation heavy, sandbox heavy, combat heavy, etc. (some or none of this may be true....just an example)
I'm trying to pair the adventures to our individual strengths so that we can optimize the AP and, at the same time, keeping each adventure as much of a mystery as possible for those not running them.
Thanks!
Thinking about this.....
I think HoH is supposed to be "investigation" and then "combat," but I've been running pretty much nonstop combat in mine so far, so I think that the individual dungeonmaster's taste might have an inpact on this.
A little bit of investigation, I guess.
I've had to fight the urge to let it turn into "Dawn of the Dead" but I think that I haven't overdone it yet; I think my interpretation of HoH is gonna be way different than anybody else's.
Haven't really studied the other adventures in depth yet.
Anyone else? I have a feeling there are A LOT more that are playing this campaign! :)

Yeah; see my HoH has been hardcore combat; I'm pbping it so it'll be a few months before I get to the next book even, so I guess I'm not a whole lot of help.
I have 8 players, so I've kinda increased the incidences of encounters I reckon.
