[QUOTE="SiderisAnon, post: 3959958, member: 44949"] [b]If a comment is that important to you...[/b] Okay. I'll bite. I downloaded the module and looked through it. I have not read it cover-to-cover, nor am I likely to. I can make a couple of suggestions to improve your future products, however. Overall, the layout is nicely done. It's simple and readable. You don't need fancy for a free product, unless you're trying to wow potential customers. That is all working in your favor. The size of the file is bloated, however. I'm guessing you did some sort of print to PDF. A quick run through Adobe's "Reduce File Size" command with default settings cut the PDF in half. The maps on pages 3 and 9 needs to be sharpened a bit. The one on 19 is readable, but could also use some sharpening. The heading you use for each NPC in Appendix A is one I found a bit difficult to read. Then again, my eyes are getting old and I've certainly seen worse. What parts I did read flowed fairly well. I didn't catch any obvious spelling errors or other major mistakes. It certainly is much higher quality that most fan-created modules I've seen. It didn't really catch my interest, but this is not really my type of setting or module so you were starting at a disadvantage. I cannot comment on the stats or crunch that I did read because I don't know the system. In response to your post in general: I think you might be expecting a bigger response than you should from a niche product. How many people play the Conan RPG? (At least compared to the number of D&D players on ENWorld.) This is not to say there's anything wrong with the game. I know very little about the rule system. I don't know anyone who plays it, my FLGS doesn't carry it, and I've never read any reviews. It's just not my cup of tea. (And I've seen relatively few threads about it here.) So, of those 150 views, who actually played the game versus just poked their head in to see what you were doing with the old module? Second, I think that for many of us, if we want to wax nostalgic on "D3 Vault of the Drow", we'll play the original module. It's not that hard to updated it 3.5. In fact, I'm almost positive I downloaded a stat block conversion at some point from ENWorld. Which makes me wonder right off the bat if you used this material with permission. There's nothing in the credits section that says you have Gary Gygax's permission to use his material (or whoever owns the copyright). If there was and I missed it, I apologize. This is still the first thought that crossed my mind when I read your post. Just because it's out of print does not make it public domain. It certainly isn't covered by the OGL. I'm sorry if this sounds nothing but negative. As I said, it was a decently put together product, especially for fanfic type work. You complained you weren't getting responses, so I gave you an honest one. [/QUOTE]
