[QUOTE="BigFreekinGoblinoid, post: 1029513, member: 5988"] 1.) What is the best number of players at the table, whether as a DM or player yourself? 4 players/1 DM is ideal 2.) How often should you be able to game in an ideal world? weekly - less often than that and people start to forget too much 3.) How long should those sessions be? 4-5 hours if weekly 4.) The poll handled percentage of Crunch to Flavor, but what are some of the specifics behind your vote? I voted 50/50, but would actually be happy with 30-40% crunch - IF the flavor is done well! 5.) If you could choose the single best next book to become available to you, what would it be, what form would it be in (hardback, softback, PDF), and how much would that book cost (please be reasonable)? A mega adventure campaign book with many seperate 1-4 page encounters. Not all encounters should necessarily directly relate to a campaign goal, but might just be detailed locales for places in the region where the PC's will be travelling. The NPC's should have descriptions that include much more than just stats. Details like how they react to recent developments in the region, how the PC will be treated when they arrive, detailed tactics for likely conflict etc... Think of this as kind of a hybrid between a campaign sourcebook ( SSS Hallowfaust or WotC's Silver Marches) and an encounter book like Atlas/Penumbra's EnRoute ) A few new monsters or items included would be just fine too. I prefer print copy - softback ok. 96-128 pages price : $17.99 to $24.99 What would be really neat would be to see the above described format in a series of books for different planes of existance: Familiar planes of the standard great wheel cosmology, new demiplanes, or even new prime worlds. This would make using this book relatively simple for users of any setting... There could even be an uber meta plot that ( very, very loosely - these should be standalone books) ties different books in the series together. [/QUOTE]
