[QUOTE="Stoat, post: 5108263, member: 16786"] 1. When 4E first came out, WotC made it a point to say that each single encounter should include multiple rooms. You stuck with this for a while, Shadowfell in particular does it. You've moved away from it. Go back to it. 2. I like the Delve format ok, but part of the purpose is to include all the necessary information on a single page or two-page spread. Some of the later Scales of War adventures have Delve-style encounters that run three, possibly more pages long. At that point, you've lost a lot of the value of the Delve format. 3. Too many of your epic adventures don't really let the PC's accomplish anything. Consider Scales of War: [spoiler]No matter what the PC's do, Bahamut dies. No matter what the PC's do, Amyra brings him back to life. No matter what the PC's do, the rebel Efreet agree to help them. [/spoiler] Or consider E3: [spoiler]The PC's stay one step behind Orcus the whole way, and no matter what they do, Orcus is going to mortally wound the Raven Queen.[/spoiler] Don't be afraid to let the PC's fail. Railroad less. Be less linear. [/QUOTE]
