[QUOTE="Vrecknidj, post: 1445509, member: 7301"] I didn't answer the poll yet, first I had to read all 4+ pages of other people's posts. I've played and DMed since 1980, so I guess I'm one of the old farts (I have the Chainmail paperback, etc.). I used to love modules, and for a long time, that's all I did. My group would take turns picking someone as DM, and the rest of us would play whatever module we hadn't played in a long time. During 2nd edition, I mostly played, and mostly in a Greyhawk campaign. In 3rd edition, I've mostly DMed, and mostly in my own campaign. And, this gets me to my answer. I don't use modules because I see D&D not as a game, but as a piece of art. I see the construction of a world as artwork, I see the creation of PCs and NPCs as artwork, and I see the actual playing experience as artwork. Even so, I bought most of the modules from WotC for their 3rd edition stuff, mostly to get a feel for the rules. I even ran two of them, hoping I'd find some immersion. But, the sessions felt contrived. It wasn't [I]mine[/I] and so I abandoned that path. Dave [/QUOTE]
