[QUOTE="MerricB, post: 9376081, member: 3586"] Contrariwise, I've seen a lot of people having huge problems with [I]Kingmaker[/I]. And [I]that's[/I] the one everyone talks about as being good. And, I know from my own experience running it in PF1 that it has a lot of issues. Paizo are good at writing adventures, but so are Wizards. (And I note that the lead designer of both Shattered Obelisk and Vecna is Amanda Hamon, who worked on many Pathfinder products.) Writing good adventures is [I]hard[/I], and a lot of people have unrealistic expectations. You think [I]Curse of Strahd[/I] is good? Let me show you everyone who hates it. Quite frankly, most of the D&D adventures from Wizards are perfectly playable, like most of the Paizo APs. I think [I]Descent into Avernus[/I] is one of the biggest atrocities released for D&D, but it is still playable - and I see people who really enjoyed playing it and don't understand why I and others are so down on it. Cheers, Merric [/QUOTE]
