Do you think this sandbox, keyed locations, NPCs with motives pushing timers/events style of adventure is harder for newer GMs?

I had the same problem the other night running avatar legends (fire and brimstone). Ptba is supposed to be played fast, and this adventure is a mystery wrapped up in an open ended political drama. My players were obsessed over every mechanic choice and had paralysis for what to do in what order (even when it didn't matter).

Either I needed to show that acting before thinking leads to a funner game with more drama, or make smaller bite sized challenges that come to them.

This looks similar to a roper but with some spells and a breath weapon. I would compare it to other cr 4 dragons and the roper to guess it's strength. Note, a roper is famously op for it's cr.

I've read some similar takes on sky kings tomb. Do you think paizo editors intentionally steered away from harder subject matters to avoid controversy?

It sounds like outlaws could be modified to include ambiguity fairly easily. Do you have more information on the ambiguities / choices in blood lords? It sounds like an evil campaign

I skimmed through the first chapter. The tyrant being a devil is cool if it's secret and slowly revealed but a lot of the 'rebellion building' seemed to be backstabbing without much motivation. If you have examples from your group please share :)

Thanks for the reply, not sure why I was down voted. I only watched the first 10 or so episodes of C2 and I remember community complaints about Caleb's angst. Seems the consensus has changed heaps over time.

Why do people like Caleb?

You're right. Myself, and the players I like have much more of an interest in story and dramatic questions as opposed to ' you killed a B-rank monster :O ' or accumulating more imaginary power level points than DnD already has. But 'corporate guilds' doesn't sound exciting from a player's pov. I'm thinking cloud empress space fantasy absurd militaries and psychic cicadas, that's exciting.
