[QUOTE="aco175, post: 9213838, member: 27385"] I seem to get a lot of millage out of the starter boxes. I can run them as is, or add more filler myself as the players make choices. I can then add more adventure to the end to tie up things or expand further if the players want to continue. The campaign world might only be 100 miles across, but it works. Part of this might be that they are all in Forgotten Realms (FR) and there is a ton of background stuff to be found on that world and bringing in the town of Phandalin only add a little bit. I think I like to have an adventure-campaign have a base, several short adventures that lead to a larger one to complete. The box sets seem to do fine, but a follow-on would be great to expand on the first. I know that the recent obelisk book does this to a point with Phandalin, but appears to be a whole different adventure just forced there and does not build much. The old, Under Illefarn adventure was another good example of giving a town and a few starter adventures to get to 3-4th level before dealing with the main threat. [/QUOTE]
