I don't mind if I have to hustle a bit to keep up with the players--I fully understand that an adventure path is by necessity somewhat of a predetermined campaign, but I would rather have the players figure out what comes next on their own, rather than being railroaded. If I need to come up with a mini-adventure to get them back on track, that's fine.5) My local game store has all kinds of little softcover pamphlets, There appeared to be at least 4 full and complete sets. I am not interested in an adventure path that requires me to purchase OOP magazines. I am only interested in the adventure paths things available in my game store.Please let me know what you think. I look forward to your replies (and I'm sure my FLGS is eagerly awaiting my $120).</blockquote>
