[QUOTE="Evilhalfling, post: 8996848, member: 16991"] I like world building. and I really hate the idea that I had to use a source as written, or had to read & remember many pages of text when PCs went to a new location. Especially if there is a good chance that a player has read the material as well, and for example wants to know why the Lord of Daggerford is not the same guy as in the book, and expecting a huge temple of Tymra in the town, when I need it to be Torm (cause that's what the group's priest is). When the Honest answer is " I read the description of the town last week (or last month) and I don't remember it very well, and I don't want to look it up mid-game." I have occasionally bought setting material, mostly to steal classes/spells/monsters from. What I would really love is an evocative name and 2-5 paragraphs of text that I can flesh out, sparks to help fire my imagination Greyhawk Adventures (1st ed) was just about perfect. I have stolen many of the adventuring locations from it over the years. I have never run the full adventure from the book. [/QUOTE]
