Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mort" data-source="post: 8408011" data-attributes="member: 762">The main purpose of a published adventure is to make it easier for a busy DM to run for his group - so he doesn't have to design everything himself. It will still require work to get it running and adapt to the group, but should not be nearly as much as starting from scrach.A secondary purpose is to have great ideas, monsters, maps, encounters, magic items etc. the DM can port into his own game even if he's not using the module itself.IMO, Dragon Heist easily succeeds at the latter (Some interesting stuff in there) while completely failing at the former.Interestingly, the best part of Dragon Heist (IMO of course) are the villain lairs. They're fun well designed mini dungeons. the silly thing is... A group running through the actual adventure will, almost certainly,  not encounter them - they're not meant too! And if they do encounter them, it's a near certain TPK for the level they will be (unless the group gets VERY lucky or really moves in and out fast). But as something to mine for other adventures - they're great!</blockquote>
