[QUOTE="drunkenmonk, post: 5828654, member: 93688"] I think adventures are pretty useless. Maybe to be gleamed for few ideas, but those can also be "borrowed" from movies, books, other systems, real life, and imagination. Adventures need to be tailored to your particular players. What they want out of the game, and what they like in a game are different to every individual. Cookie cutter adventures are never as good as adventures tailored for that group of players. Some people say they "have no time" to GM. I say that's hogwash. It doesn't take that long to plan an adventure. Those that don't even have an hour a week, well they are either lying or just are not managing their tasks effectively. Who the heck can't find an hour a freaking week? (You need to quit gaming because you have bigger problems. You need to focus on you life, and maybe be just a player for a while.) I would ask how much time they surf the internet, watch tv, or play video games. I have a wife, two kids, a full time job, and several clubs I am in.
