[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 6232535, member: 85555"] I think tastes vary so much, it is hard to narrow this down to core qualities that work for all lines (what works for Paizo's pathfinder modules might not work for a Numenera module or a Lamentations of the Flame Princess Module). That said for me, the modules that always remained useful to me for years were the ones that either has a solid and simple premise that was super easy to implement or those that were one part setting and part adventure. Also I would say there is a third kind of module where the adventure itself is less the point and it just hapoens to have so many good small ideas I can pull from it constantly. My favorite module remains Feast of Goblyns. It has a couple of sections I might criticize but got more use out of that adventure than any other. Things I generally like to see in modules: 1) Hooks that work for a variety of parties and are believable 2) Avoidance of scenes or set pieces (I find these sorts of things hard to work with). Don't like things that feel like cut scenes in video games for example. 3) Interesting locations and npcs 4) Good organization 5) If the module employs unusual structure or experiments a bit, some explanation to the GM of ho to run it effectively 6) Stuff that is useful even if I don't run the adventure itself [/QUOTE]
