The best part, as the DM, was the commando-infiltration of the science-vessel and the resulting bluffing that lead to the rescue of a key NPC that the party is now (a few IRL months later) happy to dump on the nearest flying island.So aye. Keep it simple - but layered. Allow the players enough space to make meaningful decisions and support their play with interesting elements that help to build a memorable experience.</blockquote>
