[QUOTE="ShinHakkaider, post: 6184682, member: 9213"] You say these things as if they're universal for everyone and they are most certainly not. And yes I know you said "I guess for me* but you follow that up with a more definitive "The purpose of a published adventure is so..." Even with the prep I do to run AP's and prewritten adventures it's still almost always easier that creating, documenting and running something that I create from scratch. I dont have the time or the inclination to do it anymore. And even if I DID pre-written adventures are STILL as resource for something other than plot and story. Maps, NPC's, Art, even certain traps and encounter setups can be yoinked to serve other purposes. Even if you start off running a pre-written adventures and the PC's decide to zig instead of zag and the GM decides to go with it? It could be the jumpstart to a great series of games or a campaign. And as for workarounds...to YOU they're workarounds, to me and I'm guessing more than a few others they're TOOLS to help facilitate game prep. When I'm at work on my lunch break and I want to prep? There's literally NOTHING stopping me from doing so. Between the PFSRD app on my tablet and phone and the actual PFSRD? I l do it ANYWHERE. I dont need to lug my books around with me when I have almost all of what I need as PDF's on my tablet or saved up to DropBox or Google Drive. And before someone brings it up? I can count the amount of times I havent had access to the materials that I need because of lack of internet access. ZERO. [/QUOTE]
