Message: <blockquote data-quote="delphonso" data-source="post: 7160581" data-attributes="member: 6892015">Thanks Redhammer and thethain. My players and I like to imagine things in a cinematic way. Combat for us has been really fast and deadly, but over in two or three initiative passes. Likewise, I don't have a ton of time to set up conflicts in multiple areas - but usually things are pretty straightforward or only have one twist. I reckon that's a failing on my part, and definitely something I'll attempt to do in the future.I may not have made myself clear. My group is all people who have DMed before. Two of us have done it a lot and the other two just a little. We all want to get better at it, but I'd say I'm taking that a bit more seriously than everyone else.When I said we would suspend the campaign after this choice, I meant that we would switch to another system and GM while I set up the next few adventures before switching back.One of the story threads they've been following is an oracle character. I wanted to end this set of adventures with a big vision from the oracle, where everyone took turns describing a faction in an army. Then the next few adventures would be visiting and recruiting those factions (of course, by doing some goofy adventure there.) Whether they were recruiting them for the King, or for an NPC, or for themselves it didn't really matter for the set up.I've been attempting to do this as much as possible. I think it's the most interesting way to play for the players, especially in a system that doesn't focus much on your "character" in a role-play aspect. D&D is great for improving your stats and gear, but there's not much of a background to work with. The Monk in this party is playing as a Nihilist, so it has been a big struggle to get him motivated to do anything. It's not in an annoying way, this is actually one of my favorite characters I've ever played with. But at the root of it, I have one less character to play off of and just hope that he follows the rest of the party.</blockquote>
