[QUOTE="buzz, post: 4546494, member: 6777"] You guys are moving pretty fast. My group will have gotten about 7.5 sessions out of KotS. As the adventures move into higher levels, I'd bet that amount will increase. Looking at the rest of the 4e adventure path released so far, I have a very hard time believing that you'd get through one of them in three sessions, unless your sessions are marathon ones. But, I have no idea how your group works. Maybe we're just slow. :) Compared to the roughly 12 sessions we got out of Eyes of the Lich Queen (which used the 3.5 delve format, so was closer in density to CotSQ, but not exactly), our sessions-per-dollar ratio is still more than acceptable. Add to that the lack of prep time required of me, and it's been worth every penny. Add in the battlemaps, and that value goes up even more. I'm not really worried about raw sessions-per-page. There's more adventure product on my gaming shelf—much less available in general—than my group could probably play in a decade. Quantity is not what I need. What I need are good adventures that are easy to run. Published adventures are tools to facilitate gaming sessions. For me, the current format is the best tool available. The original 3.0 format, otoh, made me want to stop DMing. [/QUOTE]
