I write adventures for fun, and occasionally profit. One thing I’ve realised is that it’s impossible to keep everyone happy, even myself sometimes.

Writing modules for a specific IP is a different beast from writing something that might be run at a convention and is different from writing something for your own table. I’ve tried the different act structures and story pyramids and flow charts and in all honesty, I find most of that shit just gets in the way of me writing something I want to write.

Now, I like to look at it from my personal likes as a GM and a Player. As a GM I want something interesting to read, but that something interesting shouldn’t swallow up what might otherwise be a decent concept for an adventure. As a Player I want my actions and choices to impact on how the adventure unfolds, but I also know I need to have a little buy in from the get go.

As an example of what I mean. In Godsfall: Forge of the Heavens the characters have to gather a number of holy relics before assembling them at a specific place and time. From the Players point of view, they have a choice of how they go about acquiring the relics and in what order. Sealing the relics creates enemies, convincing the guardians their relics are part of a holy quest might create allies. The order determines which enemies the player characters might have dogging their tails or what allies they might have along for the ride. Pissing off the most powerful faction from the get go might make things more difficult than if they do that part last. Stealing the largest relic from the get go might create problems all of its own.

From a GM’s point of view, I got a bit a mileage out of this. I’ve ran this for two different groups, one as a fantasy adventure, but also as an adventure for my sci fi group, from the point of view of the characters visiting the planet searching for a lost crewmate and getting involved in local events.

I moved from playing SotDL to Zweihander. My group were not as enthused about D20 rules. I was gifted Zweihander and we gave it a try. We have been playing it now for over a year now. The rules appear balanced and D100 seems to suit my group better. The book does have serious bloat that gets in the way with regards to reading and finding rules, especially at the gaming table. I know there is a revised version, but can't comment on that. Once our campaign is over we will be moving to another system. My overall thoughts is that it is a decent system, but just another edition of Warhammer for all intents and purposes.

Ive a few recently delivered games on my shelf:

High Valor
Mythras
Abstract Dungeon
Magic World and Advanced Sorcery

That should keep me going for a bit

I like to see an introductory adventure in the core rules, especially if it showcases the setting, or is just a fun method of allowing the group to test the rules. The OP refers to Shadowrun - First Run or Food Fight as its become known. While this little encounter could be placed in any modern setting with guns, it allowed the players to have some real fun getting to know the rules and allowed the GM to describe the various hilarious results of a gun battle in a supermarket. I've played this many times with new groups, and its definitely not a waste of space.

An introductory adventure shouldn't spread itself too thin, but should demonstrate game's premise or main themes, introduce an iconic location and perhaps some of the main antagonists. I like to see NPC stats along with a few helpful page references.

Great looking map. I wouldn't worry about where mountains are positioned, as long as when you add the rivers they flow from the uplands to seas and lakes. The landmass names are a little hard  to read. I normally don't add text to a map until everything else is finished. Great Job.

Behold! High Adventure At High Tide! 100 Coastal Encounters

Not all adventures need take place in a city or a dungeon. Many settings have extensive coastlines, but for most, they are simply a demarcation on a map for where the land and adventure ends, and the fathomless sea begins. The coastline is a perfect location for adventure, and what better way than to stumble across something washed up on a beach, or indeed to be washed up on a beach. The following list provides 100 encounter hooks to seed the shoreline with adventure using all manner of flotsam and jetsam, both magical and mundane.
