[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8538407, member: 7006"] I don't rely on edits to run the adventures... I could run then as-is for the most part... but I usually [I]choose[/I] to edit things for any number of reasons. If the party is larger than the default 4 PCs then I will need to add in more enemies. If I decide to run the adventure in a different setting then obviously a lot of flavor text will need to be changed. I also may expand things or incorporate bits from other products into the adventure just to make it feel fuller when the players play. None of those are required, but I make the choice to do so. So for example, when I ran [I]Lost Mines of Phandelver[/I] over the pandemic I could have just run the adventure as-was if I had wanted to... but I decided to do it for 8 players online (which meant expanding the sizes / levels of encounters), and I wanted to make sure I had enough stuff for everyone to do so I incorporated Essentials Kit material as well as material from the 4E Neverwinter Campaign Setting book. That being all said... I also don't have any issues with making edits as need be. I feel the desire to just run RAW (for simplicities sake?) to be tremendously overrated. I get no bonus points from anyone for [I]not[/I] editing, so trying to avoid it seems unnecessary. [/QUOTE]
