Message: <blockquote data-quote="techno" data-source="post: 5414559" data-attributes="member: 695">I am looking for some friendly advice about 4e adventures. I love 4e but I am not enjoying the 4e adventures from WotC as much. I don't have time to create my own adventures anymore so I have been running the Scales of War AP from Dungeon. These modules have some cool stuff in them but the overall plot seems almost incomprehensible and "tacked together" as if the whole thing was done without a lot of advanced planning. My players keep asking me, "Now, what is going on again?" with regards to the overarching storyline. The focus of this AP is clearly on cool encounters and exciting combats (which I like). A compelling storyline, interesting moral dilemmas, non-combat role playing opportunities, and memorable NPCs (which I also like) seem more secondary. Granted, I am just finishing Umbraforge so there is much that I have yet to run. Am I judging this AP too quickly? I also tried the original H1-H3 adventures and had much the same feeling about them as I do about Scales of War. To me, the storyline of an adventure is just as important to my enjoyment of D&D as the rules themselves are.I really like the quality of the Paizo adventures but cannot see myself going back to the complexity of DMing 3.5e/Pathfinder. Paizo's APs seem much better developed and appear to have 1) cohesive story lines, 2) interesting NPCs, and 3) more non-combat role playing opportunities. Do you think Paizo would ever consider adapting some of their APs to 4e or is that out of the question? It seems like there is a dearth of quality adventures for 4e and Paizo could cash in on this shortage, in addition to selling their own unique materials for Pathfinder. I think there are many people who really like 4e but wish they could play the Paizo APs without needing to do a lot of manual conversion. My dream would be 4e rules by WotC and adventures by Paizo.I was wondering if there are any 4e adventures that are more like the Paizo APs. Does "War of the Burning Sky" fit this description? Are there other publishers out there, other than WotC, making high-quality adventures for 4e? If not, why not? It seems like a niche that perhaps someone could be successful in filling.</blockquote>
