Algo en lo que Paizo ha demos­trado su maes­tría es el diseño de aven­tu­ras. Los módu­los inde­pen­dien­tes, los Adven­ture Path, la Society, todas son aven­tu­ras mara­vi­llo­sas, con esplén­di­das ilus­tra­cio­nes y el mejor diseño posi­ble^[1].
Pero la polí­tica de la empresa de pro­du­cir módu­los con el mismo número de pági­nas den­tro de cada colec­ción obliga a veces a cons­truir toda una cam­paña alre­de­dor de la aven­tura ele­gida, debido a la lon­gi­tud de la misma.

Si en muchos gru­pos somos mayor­ci­tos y ape­nas juga­mos cada dos sema­nas, estas aven­tu­ras nece­si­tan de varios meses para com­ple­tar­las, y eso sin tener en cuenta la posi­bi­li­dad de que los juga­do­res (inclu­yendo al DM) ter­mi­nen har­tos de una his­to­ria que nunca acaba. Incluso puede ocu­rrir (y ha ocu­rrido) que los juga­do­res no recuer­den el pro­pó­sito de la misión, el motivo que les ha lle­vado a explo­rar algún lugar o qué hacer con un objeto que encon­tra­ron hace meses.

Ya he hablado varias veces de la nunca sufi­cien­te­mente pon­de­rada línea de aven­tu­ras cor­tas de AEG. Estas aven­tu­ras pue­den durar dos o tres sesio­nes, más que sufi­ciente para man­te­ner engan­cha­dos a los juga­do­res y que se impli­quen en la his­to­ria (que en su mayo­ría son bas­tante sencillas).

1. el pre­cio de las aven­tu­ras de Paizo es ele­vado, aun­que para ser jus­tos mere­cen cada cén­timo que cues­tan [↩]

Dum­ping coins and awar­ding chests for trea­sure from Geek Ken

I always stood by han­ding out coin as trea­sure. Be it gems, pie­ces of art, or some other type of pre­cious item, I've always been a fan of awar­ding mone­tary trea­sure to groups.

D&D Encoun­ters (Week 9) from Dungeon's Master

Before star­ting D&D Encoun­ter week 9, I had a tough deci­sion to make. Last week we had a total party kill (TPK). I had to decide if I wan­ted to resu­rrect my Gith Monk and keep pla­ying him for the remai­ning four weeks or if I should play a tota­lly dif­fe­rent character?

The Value of a One-Shot from DM Samuel's RPG Musings

Okay, I’ll admit it… I don’t like run­ning one-shot adven­tu­res. I usua­lly find it cum­ber­some, slow, and gene­ra­lly boring. One of the reasons I love DMing so much is that my pla­yers and I get to weave a story that inclu­des ele­ments in which ever­yone is inves­ted. A one-shot pretty…

Why I Hate Magic Items from Con­ti­nuing Clockwise

I don’t really hate magic items. Indi­vi­dua­lly, they are a lot of fun. As a Dun­geons and Dra­gons 4^th edi­tion pla­yer, I really enjo­yed my paladin’s +2 fla­ming long sword, and I love his +3 imposter’s plate mail

Gears of Ruin: Sabo­tage! Part 2 from Cri­ti­cal Hits » RPG

Ama­zin­gly, the Gnome Airs­hip was still intact when the PCs own ship set in for­ma­tion near it (along the Melorian's living airs­hip, and the War­for­ged chaos-propelled aero­lith). Vis­count Daven Sakran was joyously awai­ting for them, all smi­les and vir­gi­nal inno­cence under the mal­vo­lent look of our…
