Message: <blockquote data-quote="Reaper Steve" data-source="post: 4451832" data-attributes="member: 51528">Some reasons I see:1) There are a lot more people playing 4E than SWSE. No, I don't have numbers to back that up, but I'm certain that's a safe statement.2) I was downloading the DoD adventures... until I found and read the synopsis. It was great, but since I wasn't actively running the game, I didn't need anymore than the synposis. Had I not read the synopsis, there is a good likelihood that I would be downloading each scenario just to read. Reading the synopsis caused me to end my active engagement with the adventure path.3) SoW is a big selling point for e-Dungeon. A synopsis may cause similar disengagement in some people. I'm not currently running SoW, but I would like to someday and I look forward to each month's installment since the metaplot hasn't been spoiled by a Cliff's Notes version.4) I do see the value in being suprised by each month's installment, as the WotC answer states.5) While I have no doubt that WotC does have the AP planned out as they state, not providing a synopsis means that they retain the flexibility to change things as the game and AP develop over the next 16 months. While some people are disappointed now for not having a synopsis, there would be even more that would complain if WotC later deviated from a published synopsis. My advice? Run it until it hits a point you don't like, and then go your own direction. Or mine it for the parts you see as gems. For example, 'Bordrin's Watch' has some great cinematic battle locations, even if you don't want the scenario itself.</blockquote>
