Well, I guess I understand...but think it over, will you?PC: Yeah, yeah, whatever.(Crack of dawn the next morning)*Banging noise*PC: The He..? Someones at the door?(Opens door, see's the uber powerful being standing there with slightly mussed up hair)Ubie: Hiyah fellas! Care for a doughnut?PC: You have got  to be kidding me.Ubie: So about that Mcguffin...PC: No! *slams door*Other PC: You could at least have taken the doughnuts...PC: Shut up! So now what do we do?Other PC: I dunno. Lets go look for a new, non-mcguffin related job.(PC's trek down to the employment center.)PC: Hey, this one pays pretty well.Other PC: Yeah, what's it say?PC: Kind of vague..."Exciting, non-railroaded adventure, no McGuffins. Promise!"Other PC: Doesn't sound bad. "Meet Bob in Inn for details" You want it?PC: Well, there is one other assignment. "Wererat infestation in sewers"Other PC: Is there any other kind? You'd think people would learn. How's the pay?PC: Lousy. not suprisingly. You'd think they'd just give maintance workers silver knives and be done with it.Other PC: What, and raise taxes? Screw that. Lets do the first job.(Party treks over to Inn)PC: *Peeks inside, then throws buddy up against the wall and presses his finger up to his lips.* SshhhhOther PC: *yelling* Get off me you nutcase, what's wrong with you!PC: (Panicked expression) He'll...hear...youUbie: *Waving* Hiyah boys! Come on in!PC: Oh, no...we aren't setting foot in that...Hey what are you doing? Traitor!Other PC: Sorry dude, suggestion...PC: Dang nabbit. *PC's sit across the table from uber-powerful being, now wearing a "Bob" nametage.*Ubie: I'm so glad you've accepted this quest...PC: We, uh, can't do it, sorry.Ubie: Oh?Other PC: Yeah! we got this wererat quest lined up and..Ubie: That hackneyed sewer deal? Already done.PC: What?Ubie: Oh come on, it was easy. Took me 5 minutes.PC: But why?Ubie: Just wanted to make sure you had room in your schedule for my McGuffin problem.Other PC: *Waving Paper* Hold on now! This flyer clearly states "No McGuffins!" If you're lying, so help me, we'll have you brought up on false-advertising charges so fast...Ubie: Did I say McGuffin? I must have mispoke. I meant to say, uh...MacGuffin, yes, that's the ticket...PC's: *Groan* But you know, we all have our own DMing styles. And no, I wouldn't make them do it, but I probably would have "Bob" harassing them for the next couple months, just for kicks. He could even come up with new non-so-dire problems every week.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /></blockquote>
