[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7673109, member: 22779"] Would you pay 40 bucks for Quagmire? Or how about 40 bucks for The Bane of Llywelyn (I actually owned that one once upon a time) or The Lost Island of Castanamir? Or any of a dozen completely forgettable modules that were produced? It's easy enough to be able to say, with 100% hindsight, "Yeah, those old modules that I'm cherry picking from a sea of crap are fantastic and so much better than what we get today". That's my "nostalgia glasses" criticism of your point. Is Hoard a bad module? Sure, lots of people seem to think so. Funny how examples like yours never point to Lost Mines of Phandelver or Princes of Apocalypse, both, very well received and considered to be fantastic modules, with all the freedom that you see as hallmarking great modules, in full and glorious presence. Were there fantastic 1e modules? Of course there were. Sturgeon's Law applies. But, jeez, pointing to ten years of modules and cherry picking the dozen or so good ones and then comparing it to less than a year of production hardly seems fair does it? [/QUOTE]
