How many Encounters in 32 pages?


Adventures


How many encounters are there in a 32 page module?

Going by the rule of thumb that James Jacobs's posted a while ago for Dungeon Submissions, it was ~ 500 words per encounter, plus a couple thousand words for the background, introduction, etc.

So are we going to have ~40 encounters packed into each GameMastery Module? Or is it going to be more like ~20, etc?

* I forgot to add this originally. Is a GameMastery Module supposed to level up the party once? Twice? Three times? I'm assuming two levels based on 32 pages.

There are generally enough encounters to give a party of four characters enough experience to gain two levels. I believe on average, this comes out to somewhere between 25-30 encounters.

Thanks for the quick reply Jason.

*PS. It kinda looks like a one-sided conversation, since we both have Belkar avatars ;-)

I don't have anything to add. I just wanted to post here to continue the Belkar tradition. :D

My Belkar was beaten to death by a goblin.

Who then ate Belkar's face.

Goblins are mean.
