[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 9116793, member: 29398"] Not sure about typical, but I suspect it's a more common thing than you're giving it credit for. I'm sure they are, but not in the same numbers they're being purchased. A DM friend who is running 5e has several hardcover APs but has only run one of them (currently ongoing). There's enough examples of badly-done modules out there to make it easy to see how someone might arrive at "modules are crap", so I'll cutthat one some slack even if I don't (usually) agree with it. As for "real DMs don't use modules", yeah, no. A real DM uses anything she can get her grubby little mitts on that'll help her run the game. :) What I don't like (though I may be slowly losing this war) is the single-AP-as-the-whole-campaign model, which I suspect is driven mostly by marketers rather than actual broad-based player/DM demands or desires.
