- A light relationship means you can play the module in any world with none or little changes, because the relationship avoids official specific places, specific gods, etc, or they're shown so trivially that they're easy to change.
- A moderate relationship means a stronger implication but not excessive. It would force us to change more than one god or adjust the world maps to the specific world in which you would run actually the game.
- A high relationship means an important change effort, because it has a great amount of gods, specific and official places, organizations, specific creatures, etc, even to the point of following metaplots or temporal lines of the world in question. For example, most of the modules set in the Forgotten Realms fulfil this relationship.
This classification tries to help D&D gamemasters to locate quickly and easily the official modules from that game. Thus, they've been classified according to a few criterions, including the base level for which they were designed, if they're scalable to other levels, to which ones, the world or place in which they take place and finally the source where you can find such module (magazine, website or other).
I'll only add that the relationship of the module with the world or place in which it takes place it's been measured in thre categories: high, moderate and light:
And now, this is the list of modules I've evaluated up till now.
