Posing a question about the type of gamer you are: do you old school, new school or use spoon fred drool?<br /><br />Old school is pretty much the locale and plot format of the early D&D modules that left the "story" to be made up by the DMs and players playing them and typically these modules got played more than once or had great potential to be played more than once. Its a very Gygaxian model and Dwellers of the Forbidden City is one of the classics of this.<br /><br />New School is also know by the phrase, "the Hickman Revolution" where the module supplied a grand epic story and was pioneered by modules like I3 Pharoah and Ravenloft. <br /><br />"Spoon Fed Drool" is an unfair label that I just used because it ryhmed and its really an outgrowth of the Hickman Revolution, called Adventure Path which is a series lasting 11-12 installments and tells a grand story, Pathfinder is deeply invested in this.<br /><br /><br />To be fair I like grand stories and I like the locale based models both. Grand stories are fun and heroic but lo0cale based adventures have more breathing room and allow for games to go off script.<br /><br />The ability to go off script is important to me but I dont consider having a script a bad thing either.<br /><br />
