[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7256640, member: 996"] Fairly early in the Encounter's program, 2010 & 11, the modules rose (or sank?) to that level. Crystal Cave was a turning point, you did have to prep that one, a bit, and keep track of what happened last time - it was also just a better adventure in many ways, a trade-off. Prior to that I could walk into Encounters, find we had too many players, agree to DM for a table of folks that hadn't necessarily played together last week (or some might be brand-new), and just pick up and run that week's 'chapter,' cold, no problem, and be finished w/in 2 hrs of walking through the door. /Some/ (not much) of that is on the DM - just being /willing/ to run something simple and railroady and not embellish it ways that might have repercussions next week - but, IMX, yeah, it's possible to write adventures like that. They'r'e not likely to be great/inspiring/memorable adventures, but it's possible they'll be fun for a session. [/QUOTE]
