Besides D&D, what are you playing?

Running Dungeon World tonight actually, Servants of the Cinder Queen. It's a rare pre-made module that gives the GM some structure about how things should/could progress. I'm not very experienced running DW and if I'm not careful I will default to running it like Dungeons & Dragons, and I need to avoid that.
The scene framing required for DW can be a challenge, because IME it is required for constantly pressuring PC/narrative choices forward. If your scene framing goes nowhere, then PCs sometimes have a more difficult time describing what they are doing in the fiction, which reduces the number of moves generated, which risks grinding the pacing of the fiction to a halt.

Yes that. Cinder Queen is a good starter adventure. Maybe a good one to try out sometime with my D&D group.

It has happened to me, but i think it´s a normal process. It is a matter of changing some things in the way of thinking the narrative.

It does look really good. I mean, if you converted it over to 5e it would be a solid as hell little romp. I'm in the process of seeding weird ass magic items through it that you don't normally see in DnD.
