Bruce Nesmith Interview: 1 month, 1 32 page module

According to James Jacobs, a 32-page module should be approx 20k words, and 2k of workable writing per day is considered an average day's work. So, 10 days to write, then 20 days for the editing and other work to turn it from raw text into a product? That doesn't actually sound so bad.

However, being expected to write an adventure from just a title and with no further guidance is considerably more problematic.

(And, of course, being asked to do it over and over, every single month, may well also have become an issue quite quickly. I'm just not sure the required word/page output is unreasonable.)

Yeah, I got my sums wrong on that one. :)


Well, there are 30 days in a month. Not too many of us who haven't made a slip of the tongue (or the keyboard) - and the ones that haven't don't contribute much, if anything :)

Regardless, your core point was dead on - at reasonable, professional output levels, a 20,000 word module taken from concept to "ready for first look by the Editor" in a month is not unrealistic.
