If a tool breaks when you try to use it, to a point where you need to create
new tools, you're better off making your own tools. That is, if, because
you're a "good workman", you end up having to work and sweat to make a
adventure work, you're better off making your own adventure, IMHO. At least
then you won't be patching up someone else's work, which in my experience, is
*more* work than starting from scratch.

I *have* used adventures before, but 90% the time the adventure is either a)
not that good or b) doesn't fit my game, or any game I'd ever run. I get more
value out of something custom-made for my campaign than a poorly-written
generic snap-in, and, because of that, I get more value out of a sourcebook
without an adventure.
