[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 4702160, member: 70"] Could you explain what you consider "all crawl", or perhaps what -isn't- "all crawl"? I've run pretty dungeon-centric campaigns for some time now, and while there are things I leave out of my campaigns, I do so because I'm not skilled at running "those sorts" of campaigns (ie, long on intrigue, short on action). That said, I make things interesting for the characters, give them motivations (or take the motivations I'm given and exploit those), use reoccuring villains and evil alliances, places of sanctuary, etc and so forth. In 15+ years I've never had a player complain about the setting. A dungeon is a setting, just like a wilderness is a setting or a town is a setting. Complaining that dungeoncrawling isn't fun because once upon a time you randomly rolled up a dungeon makes about as much sense as saying that intrigue-adventures are boring because you watched Masterpiece Theatre once and didn't like it.
