Adam Miller's series. however, I think DEMON was an anticlimax; great module but it didn't feel like the others and should have been standalone. ANd while the others felt like fresh RPGs, Demon ripped off Planescape: Torment.

But if you pass off a sad drama movie as comedy most people will judge it as a comedy and give it bad ratings, regardless of whether it's a good drama or not. It's not fair at all but understandable if the...

Personally I never go and see a movie without at least reading my favorite reviewer's opinion on it and/or seeing the trailer, but that's just me. I omitted that I'll take a quick look at the topmost voting comments but they're quite random and can't replace thorough documentation by the author....

He has a niche in the module categories, but I think his secret is that he has continued to put out his modules and conversions at a steady...

@ Estelindis That's exactly what I like about V&V: "Off the wall" The author wrote it the way he lives. Take it or leave it. In my opinion, that's the only one way to write anything. I don't think you write a module for the players, but for yourself. Actually you're coming near the most interesting part of "moduling": Publishing! And you know what? It's easier than one might...

It's the command system didn't work, the xp drain for keeping her unless you absolutely micro-managed her was absurd, let alone the gold drain in a low-gold module. She was an impediment to enjoying the mod, ultimately for me, a gamebreaking one. And yes, LoD and Alanya is very much skewed on the...

The main thing that ruins a module for me is too easy combat, especially when the mod in question is a hack 'n slashfest that is all about the monster fights. I have played more than one very high-rated module that turned out to be about little more than fighting off endless waves of tediously easy monsters while collecting masses of overpowered loot to make everything easier still. So my advice to authors would be: either make your...

Well, the best way to do that is probably to research all the other "what do you like in modules" threads and if it isn't on there, then it's probably not good. I'm going to have to differ with you on that...

Don't think it'll be cheap for quite some time. It's too good And the gore turn off is a very strange attitude for a dragon... lol Thanks for that hearty roar and best wishes, QSW! Appreciate it, mate. Keep your hoard for...
