A '''module''' is another name for a published pre-made [[adventure]] scenario.
 
 
*at least one and possibly several [[plot hook]]s to engage the [[party]]
 
*detailed maps of all significant adventuring areas

*a guideline for the overall party strength required to successfully complete the adventure
