Adventure Module Survey



Adventure Module Survey Time!
So I'm curious about the following as I'm looking at publishing a few adventures. I've put this survey up on G+, rpg.net and therpgsite.com forums, hopefully will get a decent slab of responses which I'll post in a couple of days. If you want to answer the survey in the comments below that'd be great too. Bewdy!

1) Preferred Game System:
System Agnostic / d20 Compatible: D&D (please list which flavor: OD&D, AD&D, 3.X/PF, 5E, etc.) / DCC / LotFP / LL/BX, etc.) / Other System

2) Preferred Module Size:
A5/half-letter sized, A4/letter sized, something else (lemme know).

3) Preferred Module Length (in time to play... longer = bigger = more $):
1 Session/2 Session/3 Session/ 4+ Sessions.

4) Encounters per Session:
How many do you think you get through on average?

5) Main Map Location:
Inside of loose cover (like old D&D Modules) / centerspread in middle of book / on page opposite map entries / somewhere else (lemme know).

6) Adventure Requirements:
What must the adventure have for you to consider purchasing it?

7) Generic Monster Stats:
Are you a) happy if an adventure refers you to a page ref in the Monster Manual for typical monsters or b) do you have to have all the stats in the module?

8) Preferred Price Point for an 8 page Module (black and white w/ maps+illos):
$5 / $5-$10 / $10-$15 / $15-$20 / $20+

9) Preferred Price Point for a 16 page Module (black and white w/ maps+illos):
$5 / $5-$10 / $10-$15 / $15-$20 / $20+

10) Preferred Price Point for a 32 page Module (black and white w/ maps+illos):
$5 / $5-$10 / $10-$15 / $15-$20 / $20+

11) If you could name one adventure module as the benchmark (big publishers, indie module or homepress, doesn't matter) what would it be and why?

Thanks heaps folks, very much appreciated.
