When I arranged, revised and published the original RQ boxed sets, each was done in a deliberate manner to present a model that I hoped other writers would follow.
Griffin Mountain: focus on Place, PCs determine action
Pavis: City setting, like GM
Big Rubble: series of scenarios, no set order needed
Borderlands: focus on a story line, linear succession of prepared scenarios.
Troll Pak: focus on a (species) group, with elements from above but also
details of their group
Whether I succeeded or not is up to the read to decide, not me. (In fact, in one manner it did not succeed in that they did not inspire others to follow the pattern and create supplements---exceptions like JK noted).
