[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 9336186, member: 22779"] Because your examples are all pointless? They have nothing to do with the actual adventure that I sat down to play? That adventure is at Point B. We KNOW that it's at Point B because that's the whole point in going to Point B. A bunch of random encounters? Who cares. Stop wasting the group's time. The ONLY reason you're dragging this crap in is because the player apparently cannot just simply use their ability. Again, no wonder players simply abandon backgrounds and whatnot in favor of spells as soon as they can. Oh goodie - we know we want to go to point B. We've TOLD the DM that we want to go to Point B. We all agree that the adventure that we'Re all really excited about is at POint B. But instead of going to Point B, we're going to have a bunch of random encounters that are utterly pointless and meaningless. Wow. Be still my beating heart. Also no wonder that people's games fall apart all the time. Remember that? Remember how virtually no one actually manages to complete a campaign? I've done the "journey" a million times. You know what I haven'T done? Completed a campaign very often. Forty years of gaming and I've seen campaigns come to an actual conclusion maybe, maybe six or seven times. And I know I'm not alone here. The hobby is littered with the corpses of dead campaigns that died without crossing the finish line. Maybe if DM's learned to pull their thumb out and get going once in a while, campaigns would actually conclude regularly instead of once in a blue moon. [/QUOTE]
