Yep, life is too short for homework. Let’s both save our thumbs the trouble. I’m really happy to hear people opinions. I’ve read most already. There seem to be some inconsistencies in yours.For one thing, I don't have enough time in my day to prioritize to rewriting published adventures to my satisfaction. Similarly, I also don't want to make precious time to rewrite my thoughts just for you specifically, no offense!
If you wish to reconcile with my POV based on what you've omitted, you can re-read my posts on this thread and what everyone commented on this thread too. If you don't want to do that "homework" that's totally fine, but my intention wasn't to join Enworld to belabor my opinions on people who don't like to hear them.
The way of the world is also that online debates would be productive if more people were mindful of what is actually a productive conversation, and what is just an argument. If your next response seems non-productive to me, I will add a sad face emoji instead of blocking you.
If you’re too busy to re-write 10% of an adventure to fit your group then you definitely don’t have time to write an entire adventure from scratch.
So the choices would seem to be these.
- make the 10% changes to fit your preferred style.
- find a different publisher/writer/supplement that is closer to your style that only requires a 5% re-write (I don’t believe there is anything of substance that comes out pret-a-manger)
- play a vastly simpler game (maybe 1st or 2nd game) or avoid something like a Heist based supplement that seems to exemplify a more modern gaming style.
- Play and be unhappy with a style you don’t like.
- Don’t play.
- Allocate more time to write from scratch your ideal module.
I think a lot of people who complain about pre-published modules are down on them before they even start. It’s a question of perspective. I say this not just to you but to anyone else reading this who is getting frustrated that modules don’t match their ideal.
