Tangent question:
As a DM, what gaps do you fill in, in the DDEX adventures?
And would you enjoy comparing notes with how other DMs have filled in the same gaps?
For example, in a mission in Defiance of Phlan, there's two groups who are unaware of each other, and the PCs might tangle with either group or with both groups. The DDEX doesn't say much about how they both happen to be present. I've figured out a back-story, which the PCs might or might not ever learn. Do you do the same?
In another mission of Defiance, there are some prisoners in cages. I have names for each of them, and a specific reason for how each of them ended up in a cage, one or two of which could lead to NPC contacts for the PCs. Do you also find yourself writing out that level of detail?
R.
