[QUOTE="Nokturnal, post: 9628240, member: 7040687"] Read aloud text in modules: What are folks opinions about read aloud content? By this I mean the content that is read to players when they arrive to a new location or meet a new NPC. Our Dark Sun - Lands of the Ravaged Sun module 1-3: Echoes of the Vanished will have more than the previous 2 modules, however an approach I am looking at: I may put the much shorter versions in the module body, then offer the longer versions as an appendix. I was running this idea past some GM's I know and feedback was that while the longer read aloud sections are not for everyone, some really appreciate it even as inspiration if they don't read it aloud word for word, and others enjoy reading it even if they never actually run the modules (many folks enjoy them that way also) as it helps bring the moment to life. Thoughts? Regarding length, does the first paragraph of this post feel like a reasonable amount? How long is too long? How about daytime and nighttime variants where relevant?
