Writing a programmed adventure.

[Rick Smith <rick_ww@lightspeed.ca>]

Hi David,
  Was it George at Dark City Games?  I was offered $100 for a programmed
adventure, but that was far too little for the amount of work it would take to
build such an adventure.

  Altho, you can run thru the adventure with characters you generate on 
your own.  I have 3 or 4 of the Dark City adventures and I played in all of
them with self generated characters.

  If you are going to run a short TFT pbem adventure I would be willing to
run a character so long as I am the strong silent type who hits things a 
lot.

  Rick

And the characters lose much of their freedom of action and players can't  generate their own characters.
