Your not supposed to have a social convention with every monster, but there are several very cool and evil NPC's that the party could get help from, if they approach the encounters in a way that allows for discourse. If they went in there hacking and slashing then that is all the Dungeons of Graves is, a Hack fest.I don't know. Maybe it is because I always go "outside the box" as much as I can. Just last night my players were in dungeon lair. They were shocked to find this rather attractive human female sorceroress was hanging out there and calling this "gnoll" her ex-husband. They later found out he used to be a human before he died and was reincarnated as a gnoll.I do similiar stuff when I ran RA, Tomb of Abysthor, and every module I run. Part of making it "my own". So when I looked at RA my imagination just went wild. I loved the ideas I came up with. Most of them got killed before getting used, but the ones that came into play made everything a lot more fun and unique.So my opinion of RA is being very dynamic, but I guess it is more because I made it that way than how it is presented. A great Game Master named Gary Gygax once wrote that it is up to the DM to make an adventure become alive and dynamic, so that is what I strive to do and the pay off has always been worth it.</blockquote>
