They're easy to insert into a campaign, and at least I seem to get about 1d6 sessions worth of play out of one (plus the long-term consequences for the campaign), which is just a great return for the price. I also like having a bandolier of these things to scatter into the sandbox; having more enhances the method of using them at all.<br /><br />On the other hand, there is a certain overhead to writing any adventure at all, so I can understand the attraction of adding 50% pages of elaboration and doubling the price when that can be done with just a minor extra effort. And if the lower profile of adventure modules (and the fact that some players don't use them) causes the audiences to buy less of them, then it's a tricky thing financially.<br /><br />One observation I might make is that adventure modules suffer in publicity for their nature: they don't seem to attract much in the way of discussion or opinions from the public, which means that they don't attract sales even when the product is remarkably good. Death Frost Doom is pretty much an outlier in this regard.<br /><br />Do think up some way to make these small modules more profitable. At least creating them should become more routine in the practical aspects of book design and printing as experience accrues, which helps make even more modest returns attractive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670029344758253148.post-91655634127914048422011-06-25T03:12:13.548+03:002011-06-25T03:12:13.548+03:00Now you're talking...

I hope there's a way to make them adequately profitable for you, because the form factor cries out old-school while the production values cry renaissance. I love reading them, and I'm looking forward to running them.<br /><br />As for Lovecraft, bless you for stripping out all the obvious trappings to focus on the part of the horror that is genuinely Lovecraftian but that hardly anyone every does justice to - the collapse of an overconfident worldview when confronted by the hidden, alien truth of the cosmos.Rick Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01707062453047354335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670029344758253148.post-86219374297980613872011-06-24T21:51:25.158+03:002011-06-24T21:51:25.158+03:00Ooooooh, Jim.
