[QUOTE="howandwhy99, post: 6273113, member: 3192"] That's a very hard question. I think a lot of it depends upon what you are publishing as a campaign setting. Some designs may work better as a series of modules or even one single one. Look at Greyhawk's modules. But also look at I6 Ravenloft. I think full-length adventures need to be able to stand alone ultimately. Otherwise you are effectively asking DMs to only run them in your campaign setting. Mini-adventures, even a few, could go along with into introducing what kind of adventures you particularly see in the setting. Take Forgotten Realms for instance. That setting is too big for included adventures actually, but if it were smaller I could see a mini in Waterdeep, the Dales, Cormyr, the Western Heartlands, maybe plenty of other locations too. If you're publishing a slim campaign setting, say 40-60 pages, then I would definitely only include a mini-adventure if at all. The trouble with minis is they might not be able to set the whole setting off like a full length adventure does. A good full length adventure showcases a lot of the features of a setting, while an accompanying setting book would illustrate so many of the tantalizing features which were only touched upon in the adventure. As I said at start, it's a hard question to answer. [/QUOTE]
