WoTC Adventures and Supplements

[Shroomy]

I bought a copy of The Twilight Tomb today and read it tonight. I thoroughly enjoyed it; Greg A. Vaughn is one of my favorite Dungeon authors, and he wrote a very interesting adventure. One of the things I enjoyed most about the adventure is that it utilized materials outside of the core books and the FRCS (especially Libris Mortis ). This is pretty common in Dungeon , and I think this design philosophy was exemplified in a WoTC module by The Red Hand of Doom .

About the same time RHoD was released, WoTC also released Voyage of the Golden Dragon (a solid adventure IMO), but I was disappointed that it only utilized the core books and the ECS. With WoTC getting ready to release a whole bunch of adventures in the coming months, I was wondering if they would follow the example set by RHoD or VotGD? The Twilight Tomb seems to have answered this question to my liking.

That said, I'm curious about the opinions of other posters regarding WoTC modules, so I created this poll to find out. What kind of WoTC adventures do you want to see produced?

I choose the choice that was ala Dungeon magazine, with the caveat that it assumes any non-core content is reproduced with all the information required to use it in the adventure.

What Glyfair said.

I don't subscribe to Dungeon so I couldn't choose that option. So, I chose other and have the same caveat as above. Although I have a lot of books, chances are I'd get an adventure with something from the one book I'm missing. That would really irritate me.

Thirded.

Yeah, I have to agree, any pertinent information needs to be reprinted in some fashion.

I'd like adventures that use Core + the book they assume you have + the book they're trying to sell you.

So rather than just having PHB + DMG + MM + XPH, you've got PHB + DMG + MM + XPH + Draconomicon.

That allows you to have the three main books, a book that defines the setting, and a book that defines the adventure. It's got most of the benefits of the "all suplements" method, but keeps the adventure more focused.

In the order of priority: Mostly core only, some setting-specific (my interest is FR), and at least one adventure to promote each new rules supplement, be it Tome of Battle, or Heroes of Battle, Stormwrack, etc.

And if they won't commercially publish the adventure, it would be nice of WotC to offer them as free web-enhanced adventures on their web site.

I would like to see as many sources as possible used with the exception of Tome of Magic, Magic of Incarnum and Tome of Battles (and probably Weapons of Legacy) as I don't like these variant rule systems.

Also, I think the idea of reprinting the non-core material in the adventure is a winner (less whingeing on the various messageboards then).

 

[DragonLancer]

I voted for Core + others. It will also be great if WotC actually utilised Open Content such as the Tome of Horrors series from NG. They set up this whole OGL and don't use it themselves.
