[QUOTE="billd91, post: 9125237, member: 3400"] This is definitely a challenge of assuming that the proof [B]must[/B] be in the pudding (or playing, as it were). The playing of a D&D adventure is a complex mélange of player factors and DM factors that it's a hard experience to replicate from one group to another. So while it may be a factor in how I would review a module, it's one of several. But one thing I do think I need to consider isn't just the use of the rules, interesting hooks, interesting situation/story being presented, etc - I know I should always consider how much the adventure would take to prepare for me to actually run it. So I read the adventure with part of my mind thinking about "Oh, OK. Now how would I bring that to the table? Hmm, I'd want to rework that bit there. Add some notes here. Oh, I like that as-is..." And I use that to inform whether I'd recommend the adventure or not. [/QUOTE]
