I’m also looking for a certain level of quality in the area design that makes exploration feel rewarding, meaning attention to details, environmental story-telling, a good variety of everything and comparatively compact design - no large maps with lots of empty space to run across preferably few trash mobs, but unique encounters also good dialogues but not an overwhelming lot of it with walls and walls of text.Įxamples of modules that I’ve most recently played and that fit the description: Darkness Over Daggerford, The Wanderer, Cormyrean Nights, A Tangled Web 1&2, maybe Eye of the Beholder (sadly Im stuck in it), maybe Ravenloft: Beyond the Gate.
