[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 3598755, member: 22779"] Note the exception there - prepublished adventures. There are hundreds, if not thousands of licensed D&D adventures. Paizo publish(ed) 36 of them a year. Just for 3.5, never mind any other version, you've got a few hundred prepublished adventures. Widen the net a bit and you've easily got half a thousand modules out there. Need NPC's? NPC Wiki serves you up nice. Need a monster? There's at least 4000 monsters for 3.5 edition published. Need a map? WOTC site has a couple of hundred maps for free. There is not a single game out there that gives as much support for the DM as D&D. Are other games easier to do the work yourself? Probably. However, that wasn't my point. The work is done for you. All you have to do is run it. I know that when I ran my World's Largest Dungeon game, I went six months without doing a minute's prep work. Took me about ten hours or so to get to that point - mostly it was entering stuff into the computer for cut and paste later. If it was in .pdf format, I would have had pretty much zero to do. Show me a game that I can run fully prepped for six months without doing any work. Nothing winged. Every encounter fully statted beforehand, vetted, map complete. I know that my STAP campaign will hit runs like that too. Once I get things set up, it'll pretty much run itself. [/QUOTE]
