[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 9628440, member: 2629"] I write my own for my own adventures to make sure I remember all the key facts to deliver. A good set of text includes: [LIST] [*]Descriptions that are not subjective. [*]Only describes [I]involuntary[/I] feelings/reactions a PC might have, such as nausea at a horrible smell or squinting at a bright light, rather than things a PC would elect to do ... and never in a way that the feeling/reaction has a mechanical impact on the PCs. [*]Italics for sections that should not be read unless they have adequate light. [/LIST] I follow these rules and the text helps me. When I get adventures without the text I need to memorize a lot about each room to be able to deliver a description of it ... and that is a pretty big burden when the PCs might go anywhere in a large dungeon.
