Order of scenarios

[Ocule]

I was told this topic would be a better fit for the game leader section to avoid spoilers. Anyway i'm trying to get started on running the official campaign so here was my impression. Right now i am trying to figure out a good order to run the scenarios and how to incorporate Dearg into it, now that i at least have the beta pdf.

Thanks, So i was trying to read http://ombresdesteren.blogspot.fr/2014/ ... arios.html for help, of course i don't actually speak French so i use google translate. Though the more I frequent the resources of this site, the more i am able to decipher it when reading. More like breaking a code then reading a language. Anyway,

I am a little confused on the suggestion of when to run Dearg campaign of the cycles proposed. I do plan on trying to make it my own, but it feels a little unclear exactly how it is suggested to run Dearg.

So my interpretation thus far is to start with the prologue book 0.

1) Loch Varn: Just finished running this

2) Disappearances: Filler to showcase the journey, but seems easily insertable anywhere in the valley. So looks like i can insert it later if i cant justify it now.

3) Poison - Takes place in melwan i believe, simple enough

4) Dearg 1 - Sandbox in Dearg a little bit letting them meet and explore the vale, also run the first Focus from what i gather from the beta Dearg copy it focuses on the first character's backstory, a unique adventure. I imagine also allowing those quest hooks present?

5) Autumn Red - still continuing using Dearg for information on the vale and dropping plot hooks or side quests

6) Avenging Words - from monestary of tuath

7) Continue with Dearg

At this point finish running the scenarios presented in Dearg. If i read it correctly all this takes place in winter of 907, essentially trapping them in the valley. After they finish these scenarios the road opens up and they are hired to guide a shipment of ore to kalvernach and explore the rest of the world running the scenarios from the other supplements. Such as occultism and travels.

Is this correct?

If i read it correctly all this takes place in winter of 907, essentially trapping them in the valley.

In fact, the more important "checkpoints" are the Dearg campaign in winter 907, and Red Fall in autumn 907. Avenging Words is set in autumn or winter, so it is ok. It could be before Red Fall if you prefer so.
However the others are less directives on the season. Loch Varn and Poison are probably better set in 907, but it could be in spring or summer, if it better suits your plans.
