We are used to Shards, so what's the difference with Strangehaven events?

Unlike Shards, the setting for Strangehaven is stationary; an isolated island village with a persistant community. That's not to say the whole events takes place in the village, Strangehaven is an exotic location, a Bermuda Triangle where things may conspire to take you elsewhere. The event is high role-play, low combat; that's not to say combat won't exist, but the focus of Strangehaven events will be on interpersonal role-play.
