[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 9331647, member: 6785785"] I'm trying to think of any D&D modules that work this way, and I don't think there are any. There are so many that it's possible I'm unaware of them... but I wouldn't be surprised if there are not. They're intentionally designed not to work that way. Now, module play is not the end all be all of D&D. Folks can play their home game however they choose. But I think an important factor here is that module type play is the most well-known and observable play style, and it very clearly does not address the themes and concepts of specific characters. This is important because this style of play allows for this... it does not require addressing the themes of the characters in the same way that a game like Masks does. Looking at [USER=16586]@Campbell[/USER] 's example with his Protege character.
