However, there were several key components that I thought might be presented in the desert. I'm gonna need about 30 minutes to re-construct a few things about what's happening now, so why doesn't everyone get up and get a drink, use the bathroom, etc.?" Or worst case scenario, the GM says, "I really have nothing prepped for the city at this point, and for pacing and playability reasons, I'm not really comfortable throwing mediocre-to-poor material out at you right now unprepared. Let's get back together in a week / few days, and continue." To me, THAT'S the risk the players take. Sure, fast forward to what interests you--but expecting the GM to jump through preparation hoops on the fly is definitely not to every GM's preference, and players should be prepared to rationally deal with those consequences when they arise. This is all under the assumption that the GM and table have a solid social contract in place, and GM isn't actually pouting over losing his or her "My Precious Encounter."</blockquote>
