[QUOTE="Devilkiller, post: 2067600, member: 12360"] Hmm, our old DM who moved away to a new job (waaahhhh!) had tons of noncombat stuff. My drunken master used to pull around a cart full of cooking supplies and would set up a noodle stand and BBQ in most towns we entered. Since he also carried around a barrel of homemade booze his stand was popular with all sorts of folks (except maybe the law). He once cooked the best BBQ ribs at a summer festival and met an air genasi gal we'll all long remember. Other characters took part in an egg hunt, danced the night away, and made romance. Ah, those were the days! I've had a rather tough time really engaging the players in non-combat encounters in my own campaign. I think the shortage of female players might have soemthing to do with it. One of the players also feels I cheated him out of a Qaal's Feather Token through roleplay once, so he's loathe to talk to NPCs now. Our monk/cleric does take the time to describe her cooking exploits though, and the barbarian talks with a "barbarian" accent sometimes. What he mostly asks is where there's more treasure though...oh well :) [/QUOTE]
