[QUOTE="MerricB, post: 2470543, member: 3586"] It's a bit of a problem, isn't it? :) I've run one session of Age of Worms, and it was a lot of fun, but it still leaves unanswered the questions of "Will I enjoy the rest of it?" and "Will my players enjoy it?" I have that problem looking back at the classic adventures as well - even the ones I've run and enjoyed. The gap between the printed word and the actual play experience is broad - and can go either way. Most of Wizards' releases for the first third next year are very odd. They're trying new things, but that takes them outside of my comfort zone. I'm used to D&D-style fantasy, and now they're doing some different things. "I want my lucky blanket!!!" ;) OTOH, Wizards [i]are[/i] trying new things. :) Luckily for me, even if I don't like the FL adventures, I'll still be able to use the maps in DDM. On the rare occasions I get to play it these days, admittedly, but there's still that potential. What encourages me is that some of my players are reacting well to news of upcoming products. Getting "Races of the Dragon" is thus great, when my players will want to use it, even if I won't have immediate use of it. (Kobold PCs!) Cheers! [/QUOTE]
