<p>It provided a great mix of opportunities for exploration, role play, and combat. It was equally satisfying with regards to the potential for rewards for smart play.

<p>I suspect that a big part of it is the GM and how they use exploration mode, and the players and how they engage in it.</p>
<p>I've played at tables where the players just aren't into it, and if the GM digs in and forces all of the skill checks, it can certainly drag. I've had other tables where the GM doesn't inject any of the roleplay into it and it is just a spreadsheet to churn through.</p>
<p>On the other hand I've had GMs who get into it, and my experience with Escaping the Grave was great. We all felt the clock ticking as we worked our way through the adventure, and the pervasive danger and fear of the Gravelands was experienced by all of us. It was the highlight of the whole con for our group. And, I believe, the Exploration Mode part of the adventure was a big part of it.</p>
<p>I'd say that there are a few keys here, though.. spoiler free here, but there is a few moments when the PCs should be made aware that they need to HUSTLE during this adventure and make efficient use of their time. If those moments are missed, it takes the fear out of the Exploration Mode skill checks. When you fail a check and need to try again, you will only feel that hit home if you know that [redacted] is 100% coming for you, and you need to complete your tasks before [also redacted] happens.</p>
<p>If that time pressure is off, then yeah, I can see how it would be just a series of rolls to be made without much context or meaning.</p>Morgen wrote:This is hands down the most tedious adventure I've ever had the displeasure of playing in the past 20 years of various living campaigns.
