Roleplaying Training? My Party Got an Attitude

[Jogi]

Hmm. Sounds like a potential problem in the making, honestly. My advice: don't use a d20 system for this "training" game. Instead, use a system such as Wushu Open or just plain freeform RP, if you want to teach them to RP. Then, have them apply that RPing back into D&D.

You can't railroad them into RP. If you try, they'll just do enough to keep you happy, then drop it when they're back in the "real" game.

Hmm, true, railroading is not the goal. But I don't think they'd bother learning a new system. I wouldn't be that strict about their roleplaying, but I'd give some advices. Just want them to do more than roll attacks.
