[QUOTE="Jolly Giant, post: 487282, member: 5278"] Yes, I'm burnt out. There's no denying it anymore. At Sunday's (tomorrow's) game I will declare to my players, this will be my last DM-session for a while. I don't want to abandon the campaign, just take a break. We've all had some great times with it, me included. :D I still feel I have to come up with [I]something[/I] for Sundays game though, as I've already promised my players that and I don't break promises I can in any way keep! Problem is, my players finished off their last quest during Friday's (yes, yesterday!) game. Killed BBEG and adopted his old dungeon stronghold for themselves. I now have but 14 hours (8 of which I plan to spend sleeping) to come up with a nights worth off gaming material, preferably without starting anything major. I'd really like to supply something that could be done in one evening, rather than a cliffhanger, so as to minimize the pressure on me to restart the campaign. The players are a half-orb ftr, an elven archer, an elven wiz and an elven sor, all lvl 8 and with highly questionable ethics. Yes, it's a highly unlikely group, I know. Any ideas at all? Please? The story has revolved around the arcanists lately, so something for the fighters would be best. The half-orc in particular deserves more attention than what he's been getting lately. Poor guy, stuck with a bunch of elves all the time... I know there's heeps of both helpful and creative people on these boards. Just hope you read this post, people! :) [/QUOTE]
