[QUOTE="AnotherGuy, post: 9677558, member: 7029930"] There are a couple of mitigating factors I believe. The overarching campaign has been set up with twists and pulls in various directions (That's on me) This storyline (not campaign) is reaching its conclusion from about a decade's worth of roleplaying. It is our ACT 2. The tension is high as the time is running out. The solo path, cements well with a character bond which suits their choice, but which also interconnects strongly with the main storyline. I've purposefully made it so every player choice matters. The characters are 15th level, their personal agendas are increasingly taking centre stage. He is not a new player, we've been gaming for 27+ years together. The others in the main group are (15 years, 4 years, and 2+ years). And lastly, I suppose I have encouraged players driving the direction of the story and this is the ultimate expression of this. From my perspective, it is a little more work, but it is work that is creatively challenging and fulfilling. It is very important to me (and for the table) that I do not throw a decades worth of investment and storyline down the toilet the same way David Benioff and D.B. Weiss did or the way they rushed the conclusion to the TV series Lost. [/QUOTE]
