[QUOTE="Not a Decepticon, post: 9694634, member: 7020527"] I tend to run published modules because they're less work, and do not think there is a point defining what a setting is or isn't for. it is the same place AND more, how is that somehow worse? Why are you trying to force this exclusive rhetorics where someone else getting something means you get less? it's inherently false. The setting and adventures books are still books. And listing examples of modules infamous for the fact PCs were passive observers of BIG EVENTS where IMPORTANT NPCS change status quo is only further proving my point - there were set changes decided by the editorial and everyone had to conform to them, to player agency was nuliffied and any DM who strayed from established status quo was left with no choice but to undo their changes or waste money on the module they bought. If anything, these modules should be the novels. Last time I checked it didn't stick because after his supposed death Von Khrakov was able to murder the guy he hated his whole life and was called back into the Mists for it. You still don't understand that it is spelled out his plot for an heir is impossible. Not to mention he is supposed to be condoning it alongside his new attempt at escaping the Mists by marrying reincarnation of Tatyana. With all due respect, you are sticking to details without knowing full context, or ignoring it, and the longer you do, the more it looks like an attempt to distort the truth to have something to be mad about. And we have enough things to be mad about in the world, imo. [/QUOTE]
