[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 9473146, member: 463"] Linear adventures and campaigns (like most APs) work best when player and PC goals are aligned, and when both can feel good about what they're doing. Greed and altruism both tend to be good motivators, the latter is why we get so many "save the world" plots. Coercion is a bad motivator, eg "Save the World from the Giants or we kill you" in G1-3. The reason being that the players & PCs would often rather target/defeat the coercive force than do what the coercive force (& adventure) wants. And especially at high level the PCs often really should be able to defeat the coercive force. But "Against Geoff" doesn't have quite the same ring to it. :D [/QUOTE]
