Hey, I'm looking to start up a CoT campaign tomorrow, and I wanted to get some feedback from the community. I've read a lot of reviews of this AP, and one of the biggest complaints is that the major bad guys keep coming out of left field: first the Bastards themselves, then the Council, then the Tiefling siblings, THEN the Order of the Rack ect.
I'm looking to avoid this, and I was hoping that you guys that have already run it might have some suggestions. I'm looking to introduce and foreshadow all of these major groups throughout the first part of the AP.
There is a newspaper thread somewhere, lots of ideas there.
You can tie the Children of Westcrown in more directly as well. Have The servant work for Chammady, have the bastards drink in the bartenders pub, etc.
And READ all the books, so you know who the big NPC's are. That way, you can play them up when needed. Have the Council attend the play, etc.
