[QUOTE="Rellott, post: 6958238, member: 6809701"] I have been content to stalk the forum for months, but for this I break my silence. It's been a little while since I read through the adventure series (I read it as it came out, then again all together when the last part came out), but at the time I remember feeling that the middle adventure had several major issues that turned me off to running it, so I'll ask about the parts that I remember. 1. What motivation would the characters be given to go to the various towns, help out, and acquire the magic dragon-slaying gear? The end of the first adventure leaves them with the quest to go east and kill the dragon/save the kids. 2. Tying in with number 1, wouldn't it take forever to travel all the way to the dragon's mountain, let alone go hex crawling and doing the side quests? Why hasn't the dragon eaten the kids yet? 3. There's at least one part of the hex crawling that doesn't make sense to me. The characters are supposed to be looking for... I think a kidnapped unicorn. Every time they enter a hex, they are supposed to roll a perception check. What if they fail? They just have to try every other hex and then start the search over and hope they find it this time? Or do I only call for the perception check in that hex, thus basically giving away that there's something significant there for them to go snooping? [/QUOTE]
