Replay potential
posted by Mark Kicksee on Sat, 02 Mar 2019
Black Hart of Camelot was a great deal of fun when we played it a few years ago, but I'm concerned about how readily we can replay it, since we (i.e. those of us with a good memory) know several of the other characters' secrets. I don't want to spoil the game, and I can pretend not to know, but I'm wondering if this is the same scenario or if there are changes.

Hey Mark, Its pretty replayable assuming you choose a role that is involved in a different set of plots then the original. There will be a few surprised that you of course will be exposed to, but one of the best things about the module is that different plots become focal points so the module can vary considerably. I have run it several times and never had the same story play out.
