[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 8639002, member: 54629"] I've only ever played Age of Worms, although I did run part of one of the adventures as a standalone once. The entire time I was playing through the AP, I felt like we were just there to observe the plot as it rolled along on its tracks, and while we could certainly affect things within each individual module, we couldn't do anything to affect the overall plot. There didn't seem to be any way to stop the BBEG from appearing at the end, for instance ... unlike, say, the Tyranny of Dragons campaign where the PCs can actually prevent Tiamat from being summoned if they do all the right things. Perhaps that is a possibility in Age of Worms and we just didn't achieve the things we needed to. Nevertheless, I found it extremely railroady and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I don't remember disagreeing with you specifically about this one, but I'm sure people can find my thoughts on the adventure in the threads on that topic if people want to know. I shan't spend any more time on it here. I will, however, go back and edit my post to include some praise for my top 5 picks. [/QUOTE]
