Modular mechanics simply means more optional definition in less defined areas of the base commercial game. They all for making the game more complex, but aren't required. I suspect all DDN adventures will use the base rules and then perhaps include portions for specific mechanics modules they've released. This is sort of like new monsters, spells, magic items, and so forth in an adventure's appendix. Except these modular elements will simply be more statistics and detail in the adventure itself. Can you run the module without the add-ons? Sure, and the extra detail helps the DM describe things, just not as reference to any game mechanics. That's one way to play and likely the base style. Groups which want the added detail and have purchased the additional modular games can pull out each box set / book supplement as these portions arise.</blockquote>
