I'm curious, how is a game supplement supposed to emphasize,
encourage, and strengthen real roleplaying? That sounds more like the
players responsibility. Games are just supposed to present rules and
background for you to do this in. No book can make a munchkin play by the
rules or make someone roleplay when they are not going to.
