The quality that the price demands".<br /><br />I would have expected it to be fanboys coming to defend their own preferred systems, but I wasn't aware the DIY culture was like this. It makes sense, though, as a lot of the D&D modules I perused for 3rd Edition from friends and collections were always so...lame. Every time I read one I wanted nothing more but to edit so much of the damn thing that I pretty much just wrote my own adventure.<br /><br />Which completely defeats the purpose of using such a module. I have so many other hobbies that I don't want to sacrifice them all so that I might run a D&D game. I want to have adventures at the ready so I can spend longer on my own custom adventures. Yet what I found was a lot of product that I was not satisfied with and wanted to rework into something that was good.<br /><br />So reading a line like that actually reassured me. Then again, I don't even know what lulu.com is, though I will look it up now and see if there's anything of interest. When you get right down to it, of the 3rd Edition books I've read and browsed, Iron Kingdoms is the only one I've been truly happy with, and Privateer Press didn't even print all the product that they desired since it wasn't selling. Maybe adventures for it can be found on lulu.com.Chris Cesaranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08323588124740884590noreply@blogger.com
