All humor aside - WRITE THEM!!!! Please?I would love to but I wouldn't want to clog Mark's open call submission inbox. I think that guy gets at least 12 unsolicited quests/scenarios/fully blown adventure paths sent through a day.
KGunner,
I understand how you feel, but PLEASE don't let that stop you from trying! A good idea is GOLD, and you have several. (As long as the Traditionalist/Progressive story does not star the Nut Who Jumps on Couches!) Seriously, If you wrote and submitted two adventures a year you would hardly "clog" anything. Isn't the "Open Call" supposed to encourage "unsolicited" submissions? The worst idea is the one that gets wasted.

It makes sense that the majority of scenarios in a given season should showcase the geographic area/location the story line takes place in. However, my vote is to make an effort to include other areas as well- there are ways to tie story line/lore in to contribute to the greater story arc.
Now, that said, this season is kind of over-doing it considering there is already a lot of material based out of Varisia in the form of APs/modules... so after this season, hopefully it can be put on the back-burner for a while (much as Tian Xia is being treated this season). I am really looking forward to the Worldwound in season 5 now... but I hope that at least some of the scenarios are based in other places, building up the story to bring "our heroes" to ground-zero.
Who knows, maybe the Hao Jin tapestry will continue to work it's way into story arcs in the future...

Which two scenarios were the ones set in Galt from Season 0 and 1? I've always wanted to visit Galt, so I'm quite curious.Season 0: ** spoiler omitted **
Season 1: ** spoiler omitted **
Arguably, the season 0 module could be said to be geographically in Galt, but not of Galt; i.e. it holds so little Galtan flavor you could move it to Tian Xia or wherever without anyone blinking.
I think there are many modules like that.
I personally would like more places to come alive. For example, facing the Hellknights the same way Indiana Jones faces the Nazi's while in Cheliax, having your Galtan contact be threatened with the final blade, or a visit to Sothis, with cool Egyptian flavor being key to the story or Kyonin and the Five Kings Mountains where the elves and dwarves react in specificly inhuman ways.
Less generic flavor, more region specific flavor.

Exactly. I had completely forgotten that The Ghenett Manor Gauntlet from Season 3 takes place in Katapesh, because... Well, there's basically little to no actual Katapesh flavor in the scenario.
At least Ustalav's sole scenario captures the feel of the country quite wonderfully. :)
