Do premade adventures save prep-time?

[QUOTE="Bupp, post: 6577804, member: 6784990"] I'm the same way. Coming up with the basic idea is the hard part for me. Taking someone else's idea and twisting it into my own shape, often by winging it, is where I shine. I always use pre-made adventures. I will read it about a week out from game time, and re-read/skim the night before/day of. I'll have some ideas in my head of where I might want to take it, but the players are more than welcome to take it in another direction as well (like a poster on the last page mentioned in his Tomb is the Lizard King group joining the bandits!). My main group I'm running Age of Worms, just started Encounter at Blackwell Keep last time. Except I'm mashing in Tomb of the Lizard King as well. So far we played the journey to the Keep, but I used the opening parts from TotLK. We'll play the battle next, and then I'll replace the lizard man lair with the Tomb, the bandits instead being Ebon Triad cultists, and I'll add in the egg chamber from E@BK. [/QUOTE]
