Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lanefan" data-source="post: 5276071" data-attributes="member: 29398">Fair enough, but I have to ask: what edition were you running?  The quality of "official" published modules has varied widely between editions: 0-1-3e generally good, 2-4e generally not so good (though the 4e modules seem to be improving of late).  The only real experience with "unofficial" modules I've had is with 1e and 3e, and despite a few glorious exceptions during 3e they were generally rather grim, or worse.Which is excellent. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  That said, doing such doesn't - or shouldn't - exclude you from using canned modules, as you can always lob things in that reflect your own world and campaign.  As an example, I ran Keep on the Shadowfell (converted to 1e) early in my current campaign...the Hobgoblins they met in there - straight out of the module - worshipped a deity that in theory hasn't existed for ages, and called themselves a different racial name.  This was intended to (and still might, someday) point toward a 5-adventure path later in the campaign where they'll investigate this racial division further; and at least two of those adventures will be normally-unconnected canned modules as well.The modules are the christmas lights.  The story is the wire that powers 'em and holds 'em all together. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Yes.  But those players do not remain players for long...at least not 'round here.Lanefan</blockquote>
