[QUOTE="DM_Jeff, post: 3685329, member: 3687"] Wow, I've heard differently, and agree: Cormyr (Tearing of the Weave) was quite good. Sure there were lots of combats but plenty of roleplaying opportunities too. The layout is anything BUT confusing, in fact I find it the opposite. The plot is solid, the NPCs are well portrayed and the level of detail is very good for old Realmsfolk (in one room I recall they even name the name of the artist on a painting the PCs discover). I just finished Shadowdale and found that while it was quite a bit more combat heavy than Cormyr, there were still loads of roleplaying opportunities that were assumed but not necessarily written in (half the module is actually all about playing your role and diplomacy with the locals, so it's sure there). The encounters were well stocked with all manner of WotC creatures from all the MM's and throughout the FR books available to date, and made heavy use of back material to support the plot. So, I recommend them as a great follow-up to RHoD. :) I hope that helped somewhat. -DM Jeff [/QUOTE]
