[QUOTE="Sodalis, post: 119427, member: 1791"] the adv moves at a pace that is advantageous to teh DM. Usual day in our adv is: [dm] you wake up one morning, where are you? [player]at the tavern (any other palcea nd we get left oput) [dm] a guy walks in and asks if you can do this for him... (us)OK [dm] it will take place tomorrow morning... (us)OK [player]what if we decide not to take the job? [DM]you can go home cause I dont have anything else for you to do... after combat [dm] you find out that this was just a precursor to your real task- which will take place tomorrow [player] we go back to town and heal up tomorrow [dm] you attack the convoy and realise that the real threat will take place tomorrow [us] we rest up and head out in teh morning basically everything happens within one day of each other. that way, we have adequate time to rest- but never any time for preparations. and if we don't take the mission, we WILL suffer horrible consequences. a couple sessions ago, he wanted us to stay and watch this city, because he was goign to attack it tomorrow- but did not give us any hints to do so- or any info while gathering it- even when I (barb/ rang)wanted to track the footsteps of giants 2 hours after they attacked (he said the snow covered them all up) and so we went back to our city to protect them. we came back to find the second city burned to the ground. another thing is that he loves dragons. last time, we had to go against a red dragon. when asking the army what dragon is attackin, they did not know, even though their scouts knew that a massive army was on its way, and that there was a dragon flying along with them. Hmmmmm. this sort of stuff happens alot. he claims that we have ample opportuinity to gather info,a nd prepare- but when we ask them, we get nothing. and then when i bring it to his attention, he says that i whine and bitch and moan too much- [/QUOTE]
