[QUOTE="nevin, post: 8136635, member: 7024481"] Ahh. That's something you'll have to work through. I almost blew up a campaign once. The encounters I'd been running were pretty rough and the players had suffered through a lot and they got to one of the Big moments and they through great planning and some really lucky die rolls blew through all stuff that was supposed to deplete thier resources, and I overeacted and threw a monster at them that they could nothing about. I was so tired of "Losing" that I almost wiped my party. Luckily I realized what I was doing and the monster got a big down grade and they got thier well earned victory. As a DM it sometimes feels like you failed if it was easy. But the question is, was it easy because it wasnt' hard, or did they work together and plan really well? If it' s the latter, then sometimes they should get to feel like heroes and just blow through a BBEG or two. [/QUOTE]
