[QUOTE="Mergon, post: 6771117, member: 6749136"] I'd rather see more books like SCAG then more official modules. The modules are extremely badly laid out. Not having each creature needed for an encounter inserted to where you encounter them means having to have 1 or 2 supplements open, sometimes the Monster Manual, plus having to constantly switch between the actual encounter and the Creatures section of the module. With the amount of flipping you have to do, the modules should never have been made hard cover; the bindings just can't take the abuse of constantly flipping through them.Plus, in the case of most of the DM's I know, and whose campaigns I play in, having to hold the hard cover book open flat with a paper weight also puts far too much stress on the poor bindings so far. In 5 of seven cases with DM's I know, the bindings are already breaking loose. Please, please, please WotC go back to soft covered bindings and go back to the module design where creatures involved with an encounter are listed right there with the encounter. Or, at the very least includes a set of loose sheet copies of ALL the creatures with the module. It's gotten to the point where I am so frustrated with the design layout of the official modules that I am downloading converted 5e modules and doing a lot of converting of old modules myself. Note: for those who have yet to discover it, here is a link to simply the best D&D 5e Character sheet out there at the moment. It has just been updated with SWAG materials: [url]http://www.enworld.org/forum/rpgdownloads.php?do=download&downloadid=1234[/url]. [/QUOTE]
