Can anyone confirm (or even speculate) if the starter set adventure can be played and then lead into the upcoming August Adventure?  My group is ready to settle down and do a campaign but I'm worried that by hitting 5th level in the starter set will make it to difficult to feed them into the Dragon Queen Adventure (which I think starts at 1st as well).  I'm assuming I just need to wait until August to start the campaign but I thought I'd see what everyone else was doing.

We used the pregens and so will be rolling new level 1 PCs for the upcoming book adventure. I'm toying with the idea of running them through Murder in Baldur's Gate while we wait and starting them in the new adventure at level 3. If I go that route I will just beef up the initial encounters/adventures if needed.

Thanks for the feedback, I might just have to save the starter for another group...

Mike Mearls has said that if people wanted to use their Starter Set PCs in the Tyranny of Dragons adventures, the DM could just fast forward the first part of ToD and start it from the point at which the PCs would hit 5th level.

As Pukunui said, or you can just accept that the start of Tyranny of Dragons will be very easy for the Phandelver veteran party.
