[QUOTE="Gimby, post: 9037778, member: 49875"] I've recently been working on converting a short home campaign into a module that I could publish and I and a co-author were having a discussion on whether it's worth adjusting it somewhat to expand the potential audience. It's set in a pastiche regency world, focussing on the voyage of a naval survey ship to a mysterious island. For various reasons, it's important that certain things are true - guns have supplanted bows, dragons are extinct and the list of ancestries is limited. Essentially, it's a mini homebrew setting intending to evoke Hornblower, Sharpe, Master and Commander and so on. While this is being written mostly for our own enjoyment it was suggested that the limitations of the setting would be off-putting, partially from limiting character options and partially from not making it something that would slot into existing campaigns easily. The question to the floor is then how far a module author go in limiting things to their original vision versus allowing more options (which may bring a whole new slew of options the original author hadn't thought of) and also how many people would be interested in module that is inherently standalone?
