[QUOTE="N'raac, post: 6099014, member: 6681948"] Yup. I can certainly see the PC's wanting to get through the desert as quickly as possible so they can get on with their goals at the city. It does not follow that the players can derive no entertainment from the challenges on the way to the city. Many great characters, in games and in source material, would rather live much more boring lives than the players or the readers/viewers would prefer. What was the goal in the city? To beat the Big Bad? Does that mean any obstacle between us and the endgame battle should be skipped over? Perhaps to locate the Holy Maguffin? So anything between us and holding the Holy Maguffin in our hands should be handwaved? Hussar has stated repeatedly he wanted to avoid the desert because it would bore him, but I've yet to see where that certainty there is nothing to hold the players' interest in that desert. [/QUOTE]
