And it was the first time when I simply couldn't wait for the session to end.Problem is that players want simply to find mistakes or flaws in the adventure. They love any mistake in the game, whether it's relevant to the story or not. Some examples from the session:- Players found a radiophone. When they used it, some strange woman from the same city replied. Who is?Players weren't interested about this at all. The main concern for them was that how can the signal reach that distance in the city. In the end I had give in that the lady was right next door, because unless there was a link tower it was impossible to reach any distance longer than that.- Instead of going anywhere in the adventure, players spent considerable amount of gametime discussing every single detail they could find. Why is there no blood on the floor, even though someone was shot here? What kind of footprints are on the dust? Everyone had their own opinion and they discussed who has right. The answer was right behind the corner, but they didn't actually go anywhere.- If there was some hole in the story, like for instance what people ate and drank if they were held as captives, took also a large portion of the game.I'm just so jaded about next session... Players get extremely overtechnical about... well... technical things. And I'm not technical person myself, I'd like to run the story, not worry about NPC dehydration or range of radiophones. I'm happy that this will be over in early May. It's still long way to go. For next session I'll simply not prepare any adventure, I just put a gazebo somewhere. Gazebo with some technical aspect which makes no sense. That will entertain them for the whole evening.</blockquote>
