Delve Format for Adventures?

[Minicol]

It is a bad format.

It wastes a lot of space on unimportant details, forgets the essentials, and hides the important info, and when they spot the missing part by "proofreading" (I dare hope), repeat the same information several times over, in case you did not get it.

The previous format may not have been ideal, but this one is worse.

What would be those "essentials"?

I like the delve format, but agree with many here that the detailed encouter entries should be electronic. Sounds like an excellent application for the DDI, if you ask me. Downloadable maps that can be printed straight out to 1" squares for use with minis. I use Fractal Mapper for this right now; main encounters have maps I can print out with all sorts of detail, obstacles, and such ready to go. On the average, a large room or single-encounter area of a building or outdoors takes about 4 pages to print out. Not something I want/expect/make for every small or random encounter, but for major scenes and complex action, it is a major convenience and saver on time.
