I know what you mean, and what with Chris having to apologize to his DCA crew for stopping the action so he could flip around in the CoS book to find what he was looking for (or in the PHB to find an answer to the players' questions), you'd think that the WotC guys would want to improve on the method of delivery too ...I'd be happy if it was just a little clearer read. Like, separate the story from the game elements. Every time I open up a campaign book I'm at a complete loss for how to run it because it seems like I'm bouncing all over the place.
That's crazy talk! Why, next thing you know you'll be suggesting that published modules have flow-charts, options for adding/subtracting scenarios, and helpful examples of how things played out in real life.
It would be nicer, to me, if people stopped using "name in bold" for standard monsters and instead put even an abbreviated stat block with AC, hit points, attacks and damage. It would be more helpful than me having to retype all stats on my notes all the time.
