I've been wanting to run the Runelords Trilogy for a while now (Rise, Shattered Star, Return), and I've seen some people say that it works well to run Curse of the Crimson Throne as well. I'm wondering how big the impact is if I run CotCT between Rise and Shattered Star. Would it be confusing for parts of Shattered Star if I don't run Curse, or would I be fine with skipping it.
It's fine to skip it (although CotCT is an awesome AP!). I played Shattered Star and Return of the Runelords without playing CotCT with my group and it worked fine. There's a couple of places that echo what happens in CotCT in both SS and ReofR but it's really minimum and in the background.

Alright that's good to hear. I was getting a little worried that I would have to run 4 ~1 year long adventures, and I'm not sure enough in myself or my group to be able to stick together long enough to get through 3 APs let alone 4.
