[QUOTE="ExploderWizard, post: 4579361, member: 66434"] Mystery adventures can be great but a good mystery adventure is harder to write than a good mystery story. [I]L2 The Assassins Knot [/I]is a cool D&D mystery adventure. There is defined goal and a timeline that must be met to prevent disaster. Certain types of players are better to run mystery games for than others. If a group of players are the type to sit back and wait for hooks to land in thier mouths followed by breadcrumb trails to follow then they may dislike mysteries. A DM who is not forthcoming with clues, especially if they are running a group like the one descibed, can sink a mystery adventure in a heatbeat. Mysteries require proactive players and a DM who can spot stagnation early and fix it before it ever becomes a problem. With a DM and playing group that really click, a mystery adventure can be really good. [/QUOTE]
