Very excited to see how this new mini-campaign format turns out: the shared plot between all the adventures makes it much more thrilling for me (unlike Ruins of the North), but also the reduced number of adventures makes it easier to play than a mega-campaign like Darkening.
I'd like to see more campagins a la Darkening, don't get me wrong, but sometime more concise and detailed adventures give you a solid main branch from which to develop additonal threads based on the player's likings and interests, as each gaming group sees fit.
This and Laughter of Dragons are top in my "Want This!" list.
