My budget is pretty tapped out at this point, but these are exactly the sort of thing I miss in the new adventure books (new meaning 5e in general).

I loved the old adventures from AD&D timeframe where it felt like each adventure was its own short story. Sort of like a monthly Conan adventure story.

So last month you ship wrecked on the Isle of Dread where you met local people and fought a T-Rex. This month you got a letter from your sister saying things are weird in the village of Orlane, and she needs your help.

Next month, you're working as caravan guards when... whatever happens.

But the idea is the connective tissue isn't as important to me. I want to jump from cool story to cool story. And campaigns that last a year or whatever- those just never work out in any group I've been in.

I agree with the comment above (by Charles Wallace). I want more modules, not more adventure paths that force a narrative.

I own most of the WOTC 5e books, but I have never completed an entire adventure path with my players. A single story arc for levels 1-14 seems a bit forced...

Yeah, little modules that can be fit into a larger campaign are great.

"Don't Wake Dretchlor" sounds like an 80s boardgame. I think that might be on purpose.

 

[CharlesWallace]

Well, it can't hurt to at least follow the project, right? That's not saying I'm going to buy anything. I'm just going to follow it is all.

This is something I like to see published. I will be looking at this.

At long last, we have woken Dretchlor from the classic adventure Don't Wake Dretchlor

I know the odds are not good, but I’m going to ask anyway…

Adventures Unbound
The loose leaf edition. Unpunched.
They’re A5, so they would fit in the notebooks I use. (A5 page on the left)


Unrelated to the above…
If the adventures were packaged/wrapped in cardstock much like The Book of Concealment, It would provide a nice DM screen (and shelf visibility, since there would be enough of a spine to print on).

No, they’re just digest sized softcover books I’m afraid. Well, not afraid. That would be weird.

Folks been looking for this should be a good turnout one would think.
