Message: <blockquote data-quote="Psion" data-source="post: 1118714" data-attributes="member: 172">On the issue of modules that are more than modules -- I don't mind if a module adds a few more tidbits, but if you have too much of a ration of "extras" to "adventure", I generally find such adventures less useful.This is for two reasons.1) As a corrolary to Clark's observation that people want adventures that they can just drop in. A town, a few spells and magic items, or a prestige class are not things that are generally going to stop this. OTOH, if your adventure includes detailed nations, new core classes, etc., these ARE things that I would have to either work into my campaign or work out of the adventure (or tolerate the discontinuity.)2) When marketed as an adventure, I expect an adventure. If an adventure has more (say) background details than adventure, I feel I am misled. I am more tolerant of a setting sourcebook with a sample adventure than an adventure with more setting than adventure. (This is part of why I generally don't recommend KoK adventures unless you go into the purchase knowing you are really paying more for a KoK setting supplement.)</blockquote>
