[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 7380193, member: 82106"] I see nothing wrong with GM content! There is no law against it in Story Now either. GMs have agency WRT the fiction! They must, they frame all scenes. So, you have put in place a situation where the PCs have to choose to either engage your content (Tomb of Annihilation) or something else they were wanting to do. They can, I'm gathering, either try to continue their own agenda and hope to finish it before 'doomsday' happens, or go do the side quest. It certainly adds a type of tension, and its hard to say from here how far off the tomb is from what they want to do, maybe its just one of several interesting options for them. If not, then I guess posing it as a 'how much do you want this' question has characterization implications, yes. The idea that they might spend a number of sessions on a side issue would diverge from what I would do, but the essence of the concept is solid IMHO. Honestly, I'm sure I've done some things sort of like this in the past. I might even do it now, though maybe in a smaller way. [/QUOTE]
