Editing Module

A '''module''' is another name for a published pre-made [[adventure]] scenario. Typically, a module will provide the following:

*at least one and possibly several [[plot hook]]s to engage the [[party]]
*detailed maps of all significant adventuring areas
*descriptions of adversaries in pre-planned [[encounter]]s
*guides to the behavior of adversaries in pre-planned encounters
*an intended storyline for the characters to follow
*a guideline for the overall party strength required to successfully complete the adventure

The most praiseworthy feature of such modules is that they allow [[referee]]s with little time for detailed construction of challenges to run interesting and engaging gaming [[session]]s. Their greatest flaw is that they often tend heavily toward [[railroad]]ing.

Possibly the most famous module is "B2: The Keep on the Borderlands" which was packaged with the ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' Basic Set.
