Maybe he will tell us.And getting back to the topic, you really think WOTC should draft their adventures like this? The author of this admits most of this simply follows the random tables (and I just linked to a program that can do that for you, and I myself programmed a random treasure generator here at EW).  You think this is the sort of thing people are clamoring to pay for, for D&D Next? Randomly generated maps and randomly generated creatures with randomly generated treasure, and almost no details or plot points or adventure hooks or anything like that?</blockquote>
