[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8220897, member: 59816"] Oh yeah, that's true. Paizo was always better, even in 3e, at writing adventures. I ran, I think, [I]all[/I] of the 4e adventures, but I very quickly go to the point where I would read the synopsis and use that as my plot, keep a few set-pieces that I liked (or at least didn't hate) and I made the rest of it up. I probably would have been just as well off running my own thing, but my players [I]expected[/I] written adventures. I don't think they ever knew how little I actually used. I've run nearly all of the 5e adventures too. Most of them are quite good, or at least easier to do the same thing that I did with the 4e ones. I'm pretty sure I used a similar method (to how I ran 4e adventures) when I ran Out of the Abyss, for example. (At least once they got out and had to get pulled back in). While not perfect, I think nearly all of the 5e adventures are better than any of the 4e ones (except maybe Guardmore Abbey - which brings us back on topic! James Wyatt wrote what was hands down the best 4e adventure!) [/QUOTE]
