As a DM your job is to tailor the adventure to the PCs you've got. It's not hard, especially when you've got space in the module backstory to do it.OTOH, modules with too much backstory almost ask for pregen PCs. Shoehorning existing PCs into them can feel clunky and forced.True.For example, the Pathfinder stuff. I've tried to use it in my homebrew, but it's so integrated, so well tied together, so setting specific that I just can't use it other than as-is. And I don't want to run the entire AP, and I don't want to run my game in Golarion, as excellent as I think it is.Those serial numbers aren't just engraved on; they're stamped all the way through the barrel. No amount of filing will get them off.Makes nice reading material though.So not true.Not for me at least, and clearly not for many other posters here.MY PCs already have their own stories going on, and in a backstory-heavy module, the assumption is that the PCs have nothing else happening.I think people who want fluffier adventures really want a campaign setting, which I guess is what Paizo's APs are.</blockquote>
