[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8741078, member: 22779"] I think one of the bigger problems with Dragon Heist is that it's presented as a fairly standard module - go here, do this, which leads to the next thing, wash, rinse repeat. Bog standard module fare. But, once you get into play, you realize that no, it's not really like that at all. You start out with a straightforward 1st level adventure, fair enough. There's always a limit as to what you can really do at 1st level. Then you get the house. Ok, great. Then... you faff about for quite a while getting your house set up. Then... after that... you get to get back to the adventure at hand. There's a real disconnect between the sections. And yes, I think if you set it up as much more of a sandbox with a bunch of things going on here and there, that it would work much better. I almost wonder if you couldn't skip the last two chapters entirely and just go from having the house and then sandboxing it from there. [/QUOTE]
