These are limited in structure and scope because they have to service the blandest campaign possible.<br /><br />Personally created adventures will carry the spirit of the DM's personal world; and with practice, a DM will gain skill and ability at creating these adventures. It will be hard at first, but time and effort will produce interesting gaming sessions that go a hundred times past the lame, mediocre business campaign model.Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-90742843838755634162015-07-15T09:17:39.978-06:002015-07-15T09:17:39.978-06:00Alexis,
Sorry for posting my comments all in one ...Alexis,<br /><br />Sorry for posting my comments all in one day, but I can't keep up with this blog on a more frequent basis.<br /><br />On topic: for a DM seeking to play, what's your opinion on DM's that use purchased modules? Would you avoid those games? I've always shied away from the use of purchased modules myself, because it seems to me that it takes almost as much work to adapt them to my campaign as to create something of my own, which is usually a lot more suitable for my players and my world (although, I suppose one can purchase someone else's world maps now, too).<br /><br />In the one campaign where purchased modules was the norm for this DM, I must say that he at least put in the work to read the modules beforehand, and didn't have to constantly refer to them for important details. However, the railroading that took place was not to be believed...<br /><br />Eric (Zrog/ESR)Zrog (ESR)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09610162200721944106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-3035042511492578992015-06-22T08:10:46.532-06:002015-06-22T08:10:46.532-06:00Thanks a lot for your comments, Alexis!
