Will SS spoil RotR?

[Battledwarf]

I'm thinking of running SS for my group, but I'm also currently in a RotR game. Will reading and running SS spoil Runelords for me?

It depends on how far into RotRL you are. Are you just starting? Or have you figured out there's a BBEG yet?

Since you are the one reading (and plan on running) the shattered star then maybe, i don't really remember since i am the one who runs shattered star and i was the one that also run RotRL.
For players though i don't think that there any real spoilers.

The RotRL game is still in the first module, currently outside Thistletop. Basically the plan is to finish part 1 of RotRL, then run part 1 of SS to give the GM a break, and just alternate between parts. Unlessme reading SS will spoil too much of RotRL, then I'll have to pick something else

I think that until you get further into the original campaign, the answer is "yes", you will hit spoilers if you're not careful.

There are several things going on in the Runelords campaign that the GM knows about but are not revealed until parts 2,3 and in some games part 4.

There are admitedly different levels of spoilers. Thers a difference between knowing who the bad guy in "star trek into darkness" is and knowing the entire plot, for example.

If you, as characters, dont know much about (hunts around for something that is not a big spoiler) ...ah... Runelords and their powers.... Then you're likely to hit some issues. Not to mention that the first adventure in an AP often contains info about the whole Ap to help the GM shape the campaign.

I dont think it would be disasterous...but you would miss out on the fun of discovering certain information about your foes, their strengths. Weaknesses, allies, etc.

I'd suggest a different AP if you wish to avoid some spoilers. given you'll be alternating the GMing, I'd go with Crimson Throne or Serpents Skull...but just about any other Ap would probably be better.
