I would rather breeze through 8 pages of Tomb of Horrors quality material than 256 pages of a 2e Forgotten Realms epic. Adventure writers take note: a module should be as long as needed, and not a page longer (naturally, there are different ways to write an adventure, from ultra-sparse to quite detailed). Unfortunately, I don't know how that can work in a world where professionals get paid by the word.(All that said: writing adventures can be a lot of fun. I've written my own share of free stuff, and worked on a yet to be published revision of an old classic; it was all good. Since I already have a reasonably well paying day job, I don't need to write when I don't want to. That helps a lot.)</blockquote>
