[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 6985780, member: 5100"] I don't really mind the two AP a year approach, but I don't see me buying another one for the foreseeable future. Why? Because we're a group with minimal time (4 hour session, every fortnight or so). I picked up the Starter Set on release day and we moved into PotA afterwards. We're a bit over halfway through and I'm still looking forward to [I]Curse of Strahd[/I]. I'll grant that my group should probably be moving through the adventures considerable faster than we are, but even twice the speed means we'd just be starting CoS. I can afford to be choosy. After trying to convert [I]Tyranny of Dragons[/I] to Eberron, I've decided that it wouldn't save me much (if any) time and effort over rolling my own. That means that the only adventures I'm likely to pick up in the next year or two will be those that are targeted at a non-Realms setting. I don't know whether we'll play through them or not, but I'll at least send WotC a vote with my money. The same goes for non-adventure books: I'll probably buy non-setting rules (presumably the PHB2 or whatever) and setting books for other settings. I'd happily to a rotating tour of the various campaign settings, in the form of a full-length AP set in each. OK. I definitely wouldn't pick up Spelljammer and maybe not Planescape, but most of the others would be pretty cool. I definitely think the overall pace of the release schedule is pretty good, though. My only quibble is with the details of what they're releasing. The hedge against power creep hadn't occurred to me as part of the AL rule. I don't play AL, so I hadn't given it much thought other than it seeming odd. In this light, though, I really, really like it. [/QUOTE]
