Rise of the Runelords / Shattered Star Mashup

[Skeld]

I've only paged through Shatter Star 1 and I'm currently running RotRL, but has anyone given any thought to a mashup?

I have, I am starting what I am calling Shatted Runelords next Thursday. I have the PCs on a slightly slower than slow XP progression so they can enjoy both APs in full. I will be weaving the plots for both APs together. I had to move some buildings from one city to another, but shouldn't be too hard to fit the APs together, unless something weird happens. I am going to try to fit the Moonscar in too.

I think you could run them pretty as is together you would just have to start RotRL first and let it play out a bit before starting shattered star and make sure you time it out so that they don't start playing shattered star until they know what a runelord is. Also make sure to watch out for references to xin shlast and make sure they don't hit those in shattered until they hit them in rise.

I'm just about to start RotRL for my group, I was planning to finish the RotRL then run Shattered Star and have the PC's from RotRL have a role (of what level I'm still not sure). But reading this has tempted me to do a mashup.

And Scott Andrews are you running both campaigns back to back with the same pc's? If so I would be interested in hearing your plans because I also like this idea. The only thing that bothers me is how much adjusting the material will need.

honestly I would want to run it with separate character's so that you could tell both a new story and show your players in a much more visible and personal way the affects their adventuring had on the world around them.

I think you would have an easier time running shattered star with season 4 PFS mixed in then RotR.

Im mixing the two together, not running them back to back. I've started a campaign journal if you see how I am weaving them together as the campaign develops.

Basically so far I have moved the Heidmarch Manor into Sandpoint and I expect the PCs to be running back and forth from Magnimar as plot hooks arise.

Also:

Spoiler:

I probably with be combining Thistletop and The Crow's dungeons together into one complex.
