[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 2503586, member: 22779"] Ok, I'm going to respond to this in reverse order. There was a thread not too long ago talking about the number of modules for 3e. Just in Dungeon alone, there are more modules available for 3e than were EVER available for 1e. There are more modules on the market today than there were for 1e and 2e combined. How many modules do you want? Good grief, there are a couple of dozen modules for free on the WOTC site. Never mind the bazillion other modules out there. The "Oh, there's no modules out there!" thing is ridiculous. Considering I'm playing in a NINE HUNDRED page module right now, I really have no idea what you are talking about. Now, the "how to award good roleplaying" bit is a little more spot on. But, then again, combat is always going to be more rule heavy. How much can you really say about "how to award good role playing" unless you want the DMG to dictate what good roleplaying is? Rewarding good roleplaying should not be in the rules. It shouldn't have to be. That's something that should be up to the DM and not some rule. I can just imagine the conversation around the table: Player: I took 43 seconds to say my monologue, the DMG says I should get 300 xp. I'm over the 30 second mark listed on page 57. DM: Oh yeah, you're right. But you were talking about how you disliked the particular color of your horse. Player: Doesn't matter. The DMG doesn't say that the monologue has to be about anything in particular. DM: * grumble * :lol: [/QUOTE]
