(To be fair to me, I was trimming the entire Symbaroum backlog down to something system agnostic to use as the basis of a PBTA hack, lol.)

Oh they're so bad. WOTC stuff is positively usable in comparison. Here's an example from the second episode in their grand campaign...

I think this very much depends and you should have an editor who’s just as ready to underline and highlight and require better more...
