What's your prefered campaign?
We don't know all that much about Gathering Storm yet, but I was looking back with fond memories on TEW and plan to run it for my 3E players. I am not at all familiar with The Thousand Thrones, so wasn't sure what its all about and how it stacks up against The Enemy Within.
Anyone who's run both have any insights for me? What's your preference?
I'd probably run the Gathering Storm just because it's new and I haven't done it yet.
The Enemy Within is probably the best, then Paths of the Damned, then Thousand Thrones, which I consider less than stellar
I have played The Thousand Thrones and I have to say, it starts off very strong but loses its way about halfway through.
The plot is a bit ridiculously convoluted, to be honest. In all fairness, it does have good things going for it: some colourful NPCs and great locations (like Villa Hahn). Most chapters could be reworked into good one-off adventures.
I haven't played TEW but I'm very curious as to why it's considered to be so incredibly awesome.
The enemy within is awesome, but some parts of it is downright crap. I hate the last book for instance, because with both the current setting and v2 setting it changes too much. Fortunately there is an alternate ending that is pretty good. Something rotten in kislev is also a bit of a drag, but it can still be fun.
Path of the damned is great, but there are a few chapters that I don't like.
Thousand thrones is really brilliant. I like the changing of pace, the investigation and all the interaction with the crusade. It requires a bit from the GM to be great and don't believe the statement in the beginning that says you only have to read the chapter you're going to play. You should read it all and make your notes, so you know what actions to look for and present the proper consequences later.
On top of that I want to mention the doomstone campaign, Plundered vaults (some independant adventures in one book) and the dying of the light. I like all those.
Thanks all. I'll keep that in mind.
Having a soft spot for TEW and not being familiar with T3 it's great to hear some alternate perspectives on them.
