[QUOTE="Alphastream, post: 5965240, member: 11365"] That may have been me. I've run Caves of Chaos as a DM 3 times at D&DXP, plus once for my home group. At that point I was a bit tired of the Caves when the Open Playtest came out. Another DM decided to run Next with Temple of Elemental Evil, starting with T1, and getting as far as the first level of the moathouse. We then playtested 13th Age using the second level of the Moathouse. I then ran the rest of the Moathouse with Next and my friend ran our first foray into the Temple proper using the second playtest of 13th Age. I ran two more ToEE sessions using Next. We did the top/ground level, bypassed the 1st underground level, and had much fun on the 2nd level down. We then had a new friend that wanted to participate, and he's an excellent DM. He wanted to run Slavers, so we switched to that (and have played twice so far). Because his time was limited, I started thinking about converting Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh and will at some point run a session with that. Overall, for a gaming group that plays once a week, we have covered a lot of ground. We take playtesting seriously. We want to playtest a variety of adventure types as it exposes different good and bad aspects of the rules while keeping things interesting. [/QUOTE]
