If you'll read the whole thread, Hussar owns the fact that his post was based on ignorance. Hussar, you might want to edit your original post to head off people calling for your head when they read it.I can believe that the hesitance to release the over-all story arc summary is much like the already-alluded-to Battlestar Galactica. (NO SPOILERS! I'm still 10 episodes back...) Listening to the Ronald Moore podcast commentary for the season 3 finale last night, I was impressed by how much of the story-critical reveals of the finale weren't finalized until well after shooting for the episode started.If this parallel hits home, it seems like they definitely need to rethink their decision in the context of the particular needs of DMs running the AP. The big story pieces need to be presented so that a DM can pro-actively stitch the actions and decisions of the players to these big pieces. It's true that any DM should have training in Improvisation, but things need to feel as Epic and personal as possible for the players. The summary seems like it would be one of the most important components for this DM work, granting a +2 utility bonus to Improvisation checks.This is obviously not an easy task, and it is a testament to Mr. Mona and his team that they provided it for their AP. Hopefully, the team at WOTC will roll up their sleeves and accept the challenge.</blockquote>
