[QUOTE="takasi, post: 3649086, member: 20194"] This has always bothered me with Dungeon adventures. I'm hoping that Pathfinder improves this, but I doubt it. It seems like their concern for word count scatters relavant information when I'm trying to run their adventures. By comparison, I think the adventures from the War of the Burning Sky series are easier to run and have more information and adventure material presented (thanks to a much larger word count at a fraction of the cost). Also, many RPGA adventures seem to be better designed too, at least in the adventure background and synopsis areas. Also, the appendices and handouts for the RPGA and WotBS adventures seem much better. Also, I ordered Crown of the Kobold King on July 3rd with priority mail and did not receive the adventure until July 17th. By comparison, when I order items from Kenzerco with priority mail they come in a few days later. Minor quibbles though. Overall the adventure is good, and inspires me to start yet another campaign, but I wish Paizo would look into improving their adventure format now that they aren't confined to magazine space. Also, it would be nice if they published a campaign setting to complement these adventures, as I would be more likely to start a campaign using this setting than importing it into my own (or a third party setting). It doesn't have to be extensive; WotBS did a good job of briefly outlining the basics of the default backdrop. [/QUOTE]
