[QUOTE="MerricB, post: 1972511, member: 3586"] 3e gives a lot of attention to the "game" aspect of the RPG, and leaves the "role-playing" aspect in its proper place: with the players. Actually, anyone who has looked at the Eberron material (especially Sharn) knows that Wizards have also provided many opportunities for those who lean towards the role-playing side of things. However, one of the main attractions of D&D is that it combines both role-playing with the game. The emphasis that is placed on both is up to the DM and players. Various supplements emphasise one or the other. Sharn: City of Towers is a good example of something that emphasises the role-playing and story elements of the game. The Complete series, on the other hand, emphasise the game elements, though they aren't without role-playing elements. Wizards try to cover the spectrum, and some people assume that everything Wizards do should be for _them_, and never mind anyone else. This is simply not true. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
