Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tyranthraxus" data-source="post: 6715836" data-attributes="member: 13335">Ive finally had a chance to read the original blog post.I think he does have soem valid points in amongst the hyperbole.Ive always felt that the Modules (the hardcovers) dont really fit with AL.  They are obviously not written for AL  and while many people can make it work for them in AL, quite a few dms might get confused and avoid it. As noted we often get the 'the AL Admins dont have anything to do with the Modules so can only provide limited guidance'. Which is a problem there to be honest, as the players and dms are being asked to play and run these modules which were essentially shoehorned into AL and the AL Admin not given sufficient time to able to overview these before they are rushed into action. Now Im not saying here that the AL Admins are consulted when the writers are creating the module from the base, obviously that wouldnt work. What Im saying is explained below. A Much better method, would actually be a 2 month 'gap' period. Over this time the Admins comb the core module, point out areas which will need a 'look' at , perhaps form a team that goes over specific chapters. If the module uses a milestone method and AL obviously does not , a document would be created which exactly and definitively comes from the top (at the moment we have multiple people giving similar views on where a module should be cut up to award dowtime, renown and so on. All very valid documents but nothing really 'official'. And that at the end of the day should be what is needed. An Official document so there is no ... leeway or variation here)A Good example might be Hazirawn an oft talked about Sword from an earlier module which was Intelligent. The conversion document might say 'Replace Hazirawn with a +2 Greatsword' . Thats just one example but it removes the whole issue of the item which has AL rules implications with an item that really does not. It creates no ambiguity, but clearly defines the end resultTHis is why I think 2 months from when All stores receive it (not from when the special premier stores do) would be best. You release the pdf 2 months  (or a month but no less than that).  As it is, the Module is feeling rushed into service.</blockquote>
