[QUOTE="rounser, post: 3503266, member: 1106"] D&D has dipped it's toe in this territory. For me, one of the best adventures for D&D of any edition probably has to go to "The Lost Seneschal" from Tall Tales of the Wee Folk. It reads and plays like a fairy tale, and - as you'd expect from the perversity of fairy tale situations - requires a good deal of PC ingenuity to get out of in one piece, regardless of level. Come to think of it, "The Lost Seneschal" preceded by "Legacy of the Liosalfar" would make for a nifty little fey-themed minicampaign. Taking a fairy tale twist on monsters seems to inject new life into them, too. The Ogress from "The Lost Seneschal" is a cliche, but a refreshing one for D&D. I think it's the "The". [i]The[/i] Ogress. [i]The[/i] Hungry Giant. They're not just something to fight, but come with fixed foibles with which to outwit them. [/QUOTE]
