Re: Feats!
Oh, I agree with your analysis of the dichotomy, Tippets. So far, I've bought a slew of adventures but have only played the solo ones. I mine the rest for ideas.
Monster collections, on the other hand, are all good to me. They are a source of ideas and an option to toss in when I need one. Even the adventures, for the most part, fit into many campaigns pretty easily. I could easily play out one of the adventures I've bought, but I've always preferred to do my own. |

Re: Feats!
It' a good insight that published adventures can be a mixed bag, as they are a little like paying someone to fill in your coloring book. I guess I would draw a distinction between adventures that have replay value vs. those that don't. But it is unavoidable that the more you play other people's adventures the less time you spend putting your own creative stamp on your campaigns.
The up side of Legacy Edition, I would say, is that the level of support for at-table play is phenomenal; I can't think of a period in my gaming life when I've felt like I had more useful 'stuff' to mix and match for play sessions, often with minimal or no preparations. And there is an interesting side to the published adventures that I don't think is true of most other games: most of them come with their own batches of supplies that add to your materials for self-created sessions. The SJG ones include counters and MH tiles that have a lot of replay value as separate components. And, perhaps most importantly, the GB ones now come with NPC and some monster cards - in fact I think the cards associated with GB adventures might be 1/3 or so of all those now available for the system. |

Re: Feats!
That's definitely the majority of all character or monster cards available for the game. I think in ball-park numbers it's 1/3 GB adventure NPCs (and some monsters), 1/3 GB character collections, and 1/3 SJG of various sorts (small fighter cards; wizard cards; monster cards).

Sadly, I'm cheap, so I have a lot of my components as PDF only. It makes a lot of sense, since I'm playing online anyway, so a PDF viewer with search functionality is always at hand. But thanks to you, I also keep some cards nearby. |
