Setpieces likee?

I liked the set pieces.
If you didn't like them, more power to you; you won; please don't clutter my thread; I read it all....bla bla bla; I don't need a lecture from you. I'm not looking for a fawning lovethread or to quell disagreement, I just don't care if you didn't like them. It's boring to me.
It's boring. I'm over it.
So, that being said, did anybody else like them?

I liked them, for all the problems they had they were a good idea. I see why they were ultimately abandoned again - but something about a tiny "modular adventure location with minimum story" just keeps nagging at me as having an awful lot of potential.

All in all, I wanted them to work because they represent the ultimate GM utility - just a fistful of scenery, plot and monsters.

I liked them. I saw some problems, but nothing I couldn't do work arounds and additions/changes to make fit somewhere. And if they wouldn't work for my particular campaign, they were still a nice little bit of goodness to run for a pickup group or at a game store to introduce folks to Paizo. I don't *yet* have the PFS scenarios, will have to wait for a money windfall to justify getting something I won't use for ages :)

I will miss the set pieces, though I understand why they are going away.

I hated them. They sucked.

Not really, but you made a point of saying you didn't want that sort of talk in here so I felt I had to say it. You know, the whole being contrary thing we Chaotics do.

Anyway, I wasn't totally mad about Set Pieces, but I liked the concept: A lot of locations in the adventures weren't completely necessary to the adventures and could do well on their own.

I think they did a good enough job of including those into the paths.

And now they're gone.

But that is not dead which can eternal lie.

Let's propose this to Paizo: The Set Piece Sidebar! As there is, as we all know (or do we?), one or more locations in most adventures that can work as a solo, without the rest of the adventure.

I think it won't be too hard to identify those pieces and put in a short sidebar, explaining some alternate motivators/hooks for why the heroes would stumble into that meat grinder.

Why you sonava!
hey, cool idea.
I've been looking at Shackled City ap lately and they had the same kind of thing in there. The sidebar thingy's are pretty nifty to me.
And hell with it; everything I steal I have to re-statblock anyway most of the time.
Huzzah for setpiece sidebarsthingy's!
