[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 370169, member: 63"] Ugh, don't use modules, please. For the sake of your players, I implore you. They're slow, totally uncaring to the actual characters the players create (you're a noble duke out to discover the truth of your nation's sinister dark side? Too bad, go fight some gnolls!). They very much under-emphasize roleplaying, and over-emphasize hack and slash. Maybe a few good ones don't do this, and maybe good DMs can make even boring modules like Temple of Elemental Evil interesting. I'm just not interested in hack'n'slash, and the DM who's running it is, like you, short on time, so he doesn't even bother trying to fix the thing to make it . . . y'know, an adventure. If the module is really really really low on fighting, it might be cool, or if there's a legitimate reason for people to be fighting monsters, go for it, but don't just play one of those modules that assumes the PCs want to go out killing things. The players will go along, but the adventure will be dull and shallow. In my humble opinion. [/QUOTE]
