When you are in your teens and just starting out then a dungeon hack is great but later on more roleplaying is called for. Perhaps the best alternative is to drop the whole notion of a module and replace it with a combination of settings, events and encounters with a stack of plot paths that can utilise them.For example you might have a swamp based book that contains the settings: trecherous bog, drowned ruins or border region; events like: beast migration or luna eclipse and encounters like: Lizardman tribe or hag trio. The you could have have plots with combinations like: A luna eclipse causes a lizardman migration that passes through an abandoned ruin that the pcs happen to be searching. Another might be that a trio of hags is terrorising the border regions of a swamp and the farmers need the PCS help.It would also be more reusable and flexible.</blockquote>
