[QUOTE="Andrew Moreton, post: 8438432, member: 6920268"] I know I didn't run any part of the campaign perfectly and my players had great fun. No GM ever gets everything perfect so as long as the players are having fun its working , 30 years of GM'ing confirms this for me. So don't stress if some stuff does not go as well as you would like it to.
