[QUOTE="Mercury53, post: 9052664, member: 6968850"] Wow I had missed a couple of these as I read through on my phone at work, so I just caught up. Again thank you for the replies. So much to think about and so much positive debate, I love that. With the web becoming a cesspool of vitriol in recent years it’s awesome to see such positivity. I do love the idea of creating adventures with inspiration from the books, but I agree with the several of you that said they books are a mess/hard to run/are good source material. So far running published adventures has proven difficult to prep and robotic at times running the session while I read prompts. My wife is simply very uncomfortable with the role play aspect, but has not rolled her eyes at me. I guess I’m just a nervous person when it comes to roleplay. I feel a bit silly doing voices for someone who isn’t really into the game, I feel like I’m already having to work to keep her interest. She’s totally supportive vocally though, I think this is all in my head. One thing I am certain she likes is mystery. The candle keep mysteries are actually pretty cool for the most part, and the way I ran them for some reason had my whole family questioning EVERY WORD I SAID as if it were a clue. They were all so excited it was awesome. My wife did seem to get into the solving portions by discussing clues with the kids. I’ve saved a lot of the links posted here, and we have a 6 day vacation next week so I’m going to do some research. Again, you guys are awesome, thank you for the advice. [/QUOTE]
