[QUOTE="Quasqueton, post: 2983664, member: 3854"] Someone, above, pointed out that T1 was titled, “The Village of Hommlet”, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that most of the info in the module is about the village of Hommlet. You know, I hadn’t really considered this, but now that it’s pointed out, I think that is a really interesting note. Was T1 a town setting with a dungeon (the Moathouse) included, and published in module form? Or was it a dungeon adventure with a town included? It if was a town setting first, was it a bad idea (misleading) to publish it in the same form that TSR published adventures? But then, what about [i]Keep on the Borderlands[/i] and the Caves of Chaos? Following the “town setting” assumption above with VoH, should KotB be considered a town setting with a dungeon included, and published in module form? And what about [i]The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh[/i]? There’s no village setting there, even though the town name is in the title of the module. [i]Against the Cult of the Reptile God[/i] is another module with a town setting a prominent part of it. Although, the town is part of the adventure, so maybe this is different. Plus, the town’s name isn’t in the title of the module. How about the Freeport series? Is it a town setting with an adventure, or is it an adventure with a town setting? Quasqueton [/QUOTE]
