If dragon-heart-as-residuum is more interesting to them than pile-of-gold-plus-art-objects, then dragon heart it is.The parcel system in this case serves as an abstraction to determine rewards "as you go," rather than determining treasure ahead of time.I think it encourages creative thinking, by allowing the players to "flavor" their own rewards rather than sticking strictly to what's already in the module.The idea is that the challenge/reward system is fixed for purposes of game balance, but that the players and DM collaborate to determine the exact details along the way.Everybody wins.Agreed.</blockquote>
