RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16
|
My card gaming group is just finishing Rise of the Runelords this week. We are considering doing Wrath of the Righteous next, but I am hoping to play that Adventure Path in the RPG.
Will playing the organized play scenarios spoil the Adventure Path for me? Should I stay away for the sake of my future enjoyment of the RPG (which I do consider to be more important)?
Thanks!
The organized play scenarios deviate from the RPG AP significantly. The scenarios bundled with the game itself (the home play scenarios) match the RPG AP's storyline. You won't avoid spoilers entirely since it still uses many of the same characters, locations, etc. but the actual events taking place for organized play are their own storyline.

Think of it as if someone took your favorite movie, took all the character names and places from it, and used them to write a new movie of the same genre, but with a totally different plot.
You will find cards that will list villain names for example, but outside of AP context they won't mean much to you.
If you really don't want them to know the names of the demons they will come across in the AP, or want to make sure they have no clue what sort of monsters they will fight then I would be wary of that... but if you are cool with the idea of Darth Vader being a generic space bad guy and not having that spoil the original movie plot for you, your group should be fine.. organized play will not spill the beans on anyone's parentage.
