I'd say the biggest thing I look for are original or well-thought ideas. If it's yet another dungeon crawl or magic item hunt, then I'm going to ignore it. I can fill a cave with orcs on my own; I want the adventure to have enough creative material to inspire me beyond what's just in the book itself.Price is also an issue. Adventures only get used once or twice in their lifetime, while sourcebooks which cost the same amount have a lot more reusability. So I'm not as willing to pay big bucks for adventures- probably $15 at most, and it'd have to be exceptionally good.Additional rules content is nice but not something I look for actively. Again, ther's plenty of sourcebooks to choose from. I'd much rather the adventure had good plot, ideas, and NPCs.The level of the adventure would depend on the level of the game I'm running. However, if the adventure looks like it's something I'd like, then I'll buy it either to read or to convert to my current game. This is sort of another part of "plot before stats"- I can easily swap in new monsters to meet my party's CR requirements. Scability to different levels would be nice, but is still one of the last things I look for.</blockquote>
