Mar 05, 2009 5:45:59 Does anyone else think it might be a good idea to have a poll or other means of rating LFR adventures active on the thread? This might provide a means of helping people to decide what to play.

Perhaps a poll to allow people to rate each adventure from 1-5 or similar?

Mar 05, 2009 10:16:28 Is anyone running a Turbine site for LFR, as existed on www.nyrond.org / www.onyxgate.com for LG?

Details here: http://www.onyxgate.com/turbine/page/turbine-src/ though that's significantly above my tech-level.

Or, "no -- nobody has time or inclination to do anything about it!"

I'm not surprised, really - I'd only have expected it if the people who set up those sites (I'd imagine early Pale and/or Nyrond triad members) had transferred over to LFR.

Still, if anyone has the tech know-how, I'd be interested in helping out getting such a thing set up. I just wouldn't know where to start though!

I wondered if it would be possible to make a poll on this site, but it seems that one has to be an admin to do that?

Mar 10, 2009 10:35:39 Polls are, apparently, against the CoC. I think the official line is that the boards are for 'discussion' not 'me too' type posts.

There's a reviews thread somewhere here, isn't there? Possibly started by Puggle? Perhaps someone could compile data from that?

That, and concern that polls can become spammy quickly. It's one thing to have a poll here and there - but when anyone can make a poll. . . well. . . "everyone" does make polls.

Soon forums get lost under the weight of multiple "poll of the day/week" threads and conversation gets lost in the mix.

Jan 05, 2010 17:22:24 Not to do thread necromancy, but I started a poll several months ago at EnWorld to recommend adventures. The first one is here:

www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discus...

And the second one that contains more adventures is here:

www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discus...

I can't combine them, or else I would. The general format has been to vote for your favorite three.

Jan 13, 2010 15:10:42 I've been using www.gamerclubhouse.com to find (and write) reviews of LFR mods. If you haven't checked it out yet, you should. I picked the next two LFR mods I'm going to run based on the info I found there.

I'll second this recommendation. I've reviewed a few mods there, but don't let that keep you away. It's probably the best place on the web to go and see a list of all of the available LFR mods and find reviews of them. (It's still a young site so they aren't all reviewed yet, and most don't have a lot of reviews, but pretty soon I expect you'll be able to see a variety of reviews for every module and either take the average (if you are trying to avoid spoilers) or read the comments to decide which reviews to pay attention to).
