Once again players don't feel that coming away from indulging Bob's on the fly story he set out forcing the GM To let him tell with on the fly adventure design with poor treasure (gold magic items etc) leaving them feeling behind the curveWithout gold for exp , exp for exp, or any of that other stuff Bob roping the group into making the gm improv the story Bob set out to tell while ignoring  prepared adventure(s) just results in long periods of time between milestones and that leads to players frustrated with the GM rather than the reason  they aren't accomplishing anything milestone worthy.YupWhat about it? Did you miss the part where the party is going off doing whatever the GM can do on the fly because Bob pulled them into the story he set out to tell instead of adventures that would lead to any of that sort of stuff?</blockquote>
