[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 5906488, member: 22779"] Really? It has been effective? How many crappy adventures have you written over the years? I know I've written some real stinkers. Absolute hackfests that were not even redeemed by being fun hackfests. Just endless waves of the same monster over and over and over again. Why? Because it never occured to me that I could start varying the monsters before I had the horrid experiences of some of my early written adventures. Why in heck is "learn by making the same mistake that ten thousand other people made" heralded as the best way to learn? Hey, even back in the day, we didn't learn how to make adventures from the Monster Manual. We learned by having modules right in there with the rule books that we bought. And we used those adventures as templates for further adventures. Why put that in the Dungeon Master's Guide though? Why not build it right into the Monster Manual? [/QUOTE]
