[QUOTE="Thornir Alekeg, post: 2261526, member: 15651"] Most of my fondest memories of the Basic and AD&D games were from the homebrew games that I played. [i]But[/i] most of the nostalgia discussion comes from the published modules simply because all (or at least many) of us can relate and compare our experiences. It is much harder for people to compare and relate to "the time when I was in high school where my party had to fight through some demons to release a powerful being who had been our patron from level one that we called Drunkard..." than it is to, "the time we faced off against Lolth in Q1" And I think the modules are not the key content that WotC needs to be developing. What they need to continue to develop are vibrant settings for which they produce supplements, maybe laced with a module here and there to help DMs with less experience or less time get into using these supplements. They then also need to have player supplements which add unique flavor for characters playing in these areas so they are not only marketing to the DMs. I have never had a subscription to Dungeon magazine, so I have no idea about this: do adventures published in Dungeon contain WotC setting specific information? Basically what I'm asking, is does Paizo have permission to use WotC non-OGL material in the magazine? I would contend the best thing for WotC is to allow this (if they don't already). Let readers submit adventures for the settings. Each month have a Greyhawk, an FR and an Eberron adventure included along with generic adventures. This way TSR does not have the expense of publishing modules, but reap the benefits of people buying setting and supplement books. [/QUOTE]
