[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 3774446, member: 18"] Gosh, is this really how your campaign runs? In most D&D games I've seen, it's not "let's weigh up risk versus reward guys, then decide what to murder!", it's more like "there are people dying in the streets, how can we stop this evil". I suppose this is loot-oriented vs. heroism-oriented play, though. If you play a game that's all about risk vs. reward, that's cool and all, but that seems like the exception, not the rule, when I hear people's D&D campaigns described. Most people these days, particularly the designers of 3E/4E, seem to be running very "cinematic" campaigns, where risks are taken to save lives, not to acquire the phattest lewt. Edit - PS. remembering the sort of PCs I knew in the days when my campaigns might have been a bit more like this, they'd just have done all three adventures in order, and gotten all three magical swords. Not like the lich is going anywhere... [/QUOTE]
