[QUOTE="Eremite, post: 1818150, member: 24296"] From [url]http://www.gamingreport.com/article.php?sid=13992[/url] For 3E and 3.5E we have had: - the adventure path of eight or so small adventures; - a Greyhawk mega-adventure, Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil; - a Forgotten Realms mega-adventure, City of the Spider Queen; and - Eberron adventures. I believe that CotSQ convinced WotC to stay away from adventures until now despite the earlier plan to release one mega-adventure a year. However, and this is the point of this thread, I think CotSQ was a strategically and tactically bad move for the following reasons: - Lack of portability to other worlds: CotSQ was not a generic (drow) adventure that could be easily ported into another world as one of the major background issues was the Silence of Lolth a matter that still remains unresolved in yet another interminably long FR novel series. - Lack of complete background information for the DM: The Silence of Lolth is still unresolved some three years after the module was released. - Lack of FR regional tie-in. This was released around the same time as Silver Marches but is set half a world away. Anyway, my question, if WotC publishes more adventures, whether for the generic "Greyhawk-lite" core world, FR or Eberron, what should it avoid and what should it embrace to ensure that the line is a success?
