[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8267331, member: 93670"] I agree on the second type but feel like it's a gm "style" that gm facing tools & advice in things like the DMG should do more towards offering a hand up to help them find their wings. It's one thing to roll in with a one shot because the usual GM is busy with whatever & can't make it, but the shift from short isolated modules to full campaign sized hardcover adventures makes it easy for an overwhelmed feeling gm to get stuck in that rut & never have a push that makes them leave it like when people had to stitch together different modules in the past. WotC really could do a much better job of helping that babybird of a gm grow comfortable using their wings. even little things like "the adventures assumes the players will find x&y by level Q, feel free to place that or similar treasure somewhere your players look or as an npc reward of your choice here are some good examples of places but feel free to use what works for you" would go a long way.
