[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 7519931, member: 1465"] 1) I use the 3 core books only and for me 5e is old school enough, so I expect full stats for new monsters and unique NPC. Otherwise for non-essential NPC or those who are minimally different fromstock, just refer to existing stats in core and mention small additions. Saying "Doris Lewis" is an NPC Thief (see MM page X) with extra proficiency in Medicine and a cloak of resistance is OK. 2) Haven't bought a published adventure since 3e. The problem for me is that if they are setting specific then you obviously need to hit a setting I like. If you put the Eberron label, you alienate me as a potential buyer, but you obviously attract others. I prefer generic adventures and no "new" settings because frankly they are all the same in which case I 'd rather homebrew. 3) I appreciate guidance as long as it's not pathetically obvious. I am many years past the basics of DMing and basic advice is already plentiful in every DMG, so from an adventure I want only advice specific to such adventure. [/QUOTE]
