[QUOTE="OB1, post: 6960895, member: 6796241"] APs are the gateway drug of 5e. If you are new to the game, you are likely going to pick an AP that interests you along with the core books. Having a wide variety of APs means Wizards is more likely to hook a new player. For those already hooked, the APs can provide inspiration for home brews or an easy way to play when you don't have time to create everything from scratch. 5e is designed with the casual, occasional, and life-busy player in mind and the release strategy reflects the goals of courting and converting those types of players. For the hard-core, frequent players who post on message boards, the game is designed to be hacked to fit our needs. I'm currently running a home brew campaign that began in the Next playtest as well as the CoS AP for the same group of players. If I have time to design for my home brew, we play that, if not, it's CoS. But I also purchase and read all of the APs and mine them for ideas for my home brew, sometimes lifting things whole cloth from them and plopping them down into Duotin. It's just that simple, and seems to be working as intended to grow the hobby. [/QUOTE]
