Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jan van Leyden" data-source="post: 6377762" data-attributes="member: 20307">In these adventures: yes. In my campaigns: usually no. I see the dungeon as an element of a story in the campaign, not as a centerpiece of the story.And I think this is the central point in which we differ. I find it easy to take the raison d'être and the evil guy and modify it to suit my needs; in many cases I extend what I had so far with some new idea, often, e.g., using some fact of the adventure to extend my campaign's villain's modus operandi.When I read a published adventure I commit basic plot, villain(s) and maybe other items to memory. When working on a campaign or its next adventures memory may ring a bell, reminding me on one of those scenarios. I scan it to jog my memory, decide whether it might fit. This decision is based on whether I have a good idea how to modify it for me. Jot down this basic idea, make perhaps some exentsions to my campaign material and I'm ready to go. The other way - selecting an abstract module and filling it with life for my current needs - won't work for me.Of course, it's all a matter of taste and circumstance. I have yet to find a group which is keen to run a true sandbox style game. With such a group my way of preparing stuff would change.Gah! I'm not worthy enough to have Lane-the man who always extends his name-fan do something to his name when he's quoting me?
