Message: <blockquote data-quote="osarusan" data-source="post: 1254778" data-attributes="member: 13950">I was running the Dragon Mountain mega-module, which I had spent about an entire month planning. It is the largest dungeon I have ever attempted to run, and if you've never seen it, just take my word that it is ridiculously large. Also, if you don't know, the players have a limited amount of days before the dungeon planeshifts to another Material Plane. Well, my players spent ages being distracted by every little thing and taking the most inefficient route to the dungeon, so they arrived there on the day it was supposed to planeshift. I decided to give it 15 extra days just for game's sake, but they seemed to notice that it hadn't planeshifted yet, and took their sweet time in the dungeon too. When the mountain finally did planeshift, they had spent so much time fighting the monsters that I had sent to "encourage" them to speed up that they were too low on resources to continue, so they left the dungeon. I was totally unprepared for them to just give up on it halfway through, so I ended up winging an entire new Material Plane on the spot, run by a civilized orc theocracy in Arabian cities, where the primary danger was giant insects (think Starship Troopers) and efreet. Well they ended up deciding that this world was the most fun place I had every created, and here I am sweating on the spot to come up with things while we keep playing, winging it all as I go.They never went back to the dungeon...</blockquote>
