Johnny Malone I can believe it, Dragon has an article on everything. I think an Indiana Jones style adventure would be a gentle way to get my group into a more roleplaying atmosphere without forgoing hack and slash completely. Just have the Heroes be the only thing standing between some evil organization, like the Red Wizards of Thay and an artifact of truly frightening power, like the Tome of Boccob, or Cuthbert's Mace, or the key to freeing the Hundred handed-fifty headed monsters of Greek myth, or just about anything that sounds dreadfully important. Hell, you can have them hunt down the Rod of Seven Parts.

I agree. I'm the type that truly likes to roleplay, as opposed to "Kill it! Get EXP!"
Come to think of it, I really wish RPGs gave EXP for passing certain plot points and such, as opposed to making leveling up a hack and slash fest ... @_@

It's a race against time as a band of adventures must keep an evil cult from gaining an artifact that could bring about the end of times.

GW is notorious for lacking of RP.
It's funny though, you can either make an RP character, or a PVP-only char, but I've only seen 1 person in my entire playing time that ever actually RPed his RP char. Nobody else ever does.

One of the reasons I tend to stay away from MMO's. Although I may have to get Warhammer: Age of Reckoning when it comes out next year.

I can pretty much guarantee it. If I happened to get Ragnarok Online and got into it, I'd go Dancer, and later Gypsy.

This time, Orcs are the least of their worries... Failing this idea for a game concept I might just run my group through the Tomb of Horrors by Gary Gygax. Wizards has an updated version of it on their website. Most evil dungeon ever! twisted Here's a link to get it: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/oa/20051031a

Learn a few Romani words and pepper your speach with them, Like Gajo (Non-Romani), Challo (Boy), and Chey (Girl). It adds to the flavor of the character.

Johnny Malone You did? We would have died so many times if we tried this game. So many death traps that we would have failed.... I really wanted to run it. I also have the Mud Sorceror's Tomb, which is very similar-trap and Puzzle wise that is.

I tried Ragnarok myself. The world and it's look are nice, but I could never get the control scheme down.
