ssvegeta555 08-01-03, 05:11 PM	I do both. I like to make my own campaign as its fun to see your creation be enjoyed and played by the players. And I buy campaigns (but only FR) becasue it save me a lot of time when I get lazy, which is every day. :D Plus buying campaigns can help give you ideas to help make your homebrew campaign some flavor.

If a store boough scenatrio is well written and the PCs are near the site of the adventure, sure I'll use it, if the PCs choose the right path.

There are some wonderfull settings out there, especially if you've no intention on running a game with the rules of the setting. I.C.E. had some terrific stuff going with their Shadow World setting (apprantly a setting being revived for d20 soon), but there was no way I was going to dive into crummy and complex Rolemaster (dubbed Rollmaster or Tablemaster) rules. Other sources of inspiration for my own homebrew settings came from Sky Realms of Jorune, Earthdawn, Rifts, Shadowrun, MERP, Stormbringer, Call of Cthulhu, and many others. Few of these 'settings' ever made their way fully onto the gaming table, but almost all of them made their impact on more than a few self created settings. Inspiration can come from the most unlikely sources. Perhaps you consider the setting book mostly worthless, but a few graphics catch your attention that lead you to developing a really great aspect of your homebrew campaign, or even the basics for fleshing out your entire world setting. Was the book a waste of money then? I've even expanded many of these books and ideas into existing settings, like using Scarred Land's Slitherin (a really awesome rat-like race) instead of Dark Sun tari (a really crumy rat-like race) in an Athasian campaign. Basically, if you've got a decent homebrew setting, but are having some troubles getting ideas or fleshing things out, try picking up a few random books and see what happens. You never know.

Lashan 08-04-03, 02:36 PM	I do both. I create my own and I take from the wealth of DnD modules that I have collected over the years. Sometimes, I take a module and twist it into what I want it to be. It could be minor changes or it could be simply using the map from that adventure.
