[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 4416264, member: 29014"] Ah, but I find that LEW does have urban and town-based adventures, they're just spread out amongst different locations. Don't get me wrong, I love social interactions and town-based adventures, but I don't like using the same town over and over. For instance, my A Teacher for Laynie was almost entirely in Medibaria and was a social-based mystery game for most of the time. Festival of Halina was almost all in Covington and had a lot of fun roleplaying moments. Niobe's Dilemma (and also Murder is the Pits) were both in Earling. There's been enough in Orussus that I needn't name them. I might run an adventure in Fallon at some point depending on how things go in Ashin's Commission, but not yet. Of my characters, I've seen the following-- Zaeryl: 1 town-based with slight harassment on the way, but the GM dropped so the end was done quickly 1 that I don't know the original focus, but there was a lot of traveling and then the GM dropped and then the judge dropped, so now it has a forsaken town and lots of caves and fighting Lasair: 2 basically totally town-based 1 that is so far only traveling but will probably have substantial portions that are based in a Sairundani town Ally: 1 that is basically a wilderness/ruins exploration And of the games I ran: 1 that is in some ways two that was a mix of wilderness traveling, town-based intrigue, and ruins exploration, but players dropped so it lagged in some places. 1 that was basically all city and Academy based intrigue. 1 that was basically all exploration of a strange tower--I really like this one, personally, even though it isn't city-based. Right now, though, one of the players is having a wedding anniversary with his wife in Orussus, two are chatting in Medibaria, and another is in a fiery fortress of flame and eldritch energies (guess who!).
