[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8678462, member: 67338"] I would think so... except on average each town on my map had 5-9 'hooks' some fleshed out more then others, and there were ruins and dungeons littering the map, and on average the PCs took 1 or 2 hooks per town and half the time avoided the 'strange ruins' or 'old haunted house'. So it's not like he was pushing to 'complete everything' he seemed fine ignoring hooks Players were not interested in. the game was MUCH more a sandbox then I normally run... but because of that it also was more an island then a continent. The entire map of the land mass the PCs were on was only 500 mile north to south and 350 mile east to west... then there were 4 5-10 mile islands mapped just off coasts (within 3 days sail). I had asked VERY nicely at character creation for us not to sail to other unmapped areas... but I had no 'big arc' story. the main land was 3 kingdoms (shadow lands the biggest and where they started) and they for the most part kept to that one kingdom... I also took the shadowfel and the underdark and mix/matched them in my 'upside down' where if you traveled 1/3 a mile or more under ground into caves and such gravity fliped and you were on the dark side of the world with a dark sun (giving off black light during day and being pitch black at night) were the shadar kia drow and mind flayer kingdoms were.
