[QUOTE="buddhafrog, post: 6283141, member: 86605"] I haven't been on Enworld for almost two years... I had been DMing several games for middle school ESL (English as a second language) groups in Korea. My work changed and I only ran one game in the past couple years. I'm now going to start a new game with my son, nephew and a few friends, all middle school, and some with only intermediate English skills. I wasn't too fond of 4E, think Pathfinder/3E will be too complicated, and I'm curious about running D&D Next, so that is what we'll be doing. I've been downloading the playtests and have the rules, but need some help finding the right adventure. I've spent most of Sunday on Enworld learning, but am not much closer to making a choice, so I thought I would bring it to you for advice: [LIST] [*]I need a game that is more linear, easier to follow, less dependent on fully understanding the nuances of dialog/NPCs, etc. Railroading is somewhat OK.
