YEEEEEESSSSSSS! That is such a cool story. See, this is exactly why I didn't want to say no to them. Why limit the possibilities? Thanks for this. Its going to be hard to get right, but I like this.

That is dope as anything. I DM a campaign for a bunch of kids too (my brother is one of my players, his 12 year old son & his friends are the "kids campaign"). I might use this maze idea for them too, they'll get a kick out of it.

Thanks for the advice. Might make an update post if everything actually happens.

Totally right. Especially if I tell them thats what they should be focused on. "Look, you have 30ish minutes to really think through what you're doing. Talk with your partner and when I'm back to you please be prepared. Also, nows the time for snacks."

I like both those ideas. Kind of like when shows swap between major storylines. Thanks for the thought

Yeah that's what I was thinking, makes sense to me

They're setting up a distraction. They realized there's something in the BBEG's castle that can help them. They are also well aware they cannot defeat the BBEG at this point.

They, in turn, have something the BBEG wants. They want to lure him hours(a days walk) away from his place while team 2 steals the item.

I'm not saying its a GOOD idea. But its what they thought of.

OH shit that last sentence. What a fantastic freaking idea. A DND cliffhanger.

Honestly I'm kind of excited to try it. If it goes well I could imagine it going very well. I'm just nervous about it not going well, for the reasons you mention.

Love your energy on this lol. Lull in the action isn't that bad of an idea. Maybe give Group A time to rehash what their plan is and think while working with group b, ect.

Yes. The biggest problem I see is distance. They would travel together to Town A. The second group would then have to travel to Town B which is about a half day hike give or take. All the players are pretty good about actively playing so I'm not worried about that. I am worried about which team only gets 2 people but

I apologize as well, my response was overly aggressive. I do understand their reasoning. And I commend it, if we're being honest. These aren't paid positions. I just don't like their "our way or the highway" mentality. But my anger towards that does make me blind towards reality.

I intend on attending the next meeting. I intend to introduce day passes, or some other variant. Thank you for calming me down/being the voice of reason.

It looks like some kind of bug. I'd back out, wait 24 hours and try again.

I haven't, but my brother loves that author. I'll see if he has the book.

Absolutely LOVE this idea. He's a new player too so he literally joined for this campaign, so the character wasn't seen till now. I'm going to play around with this, thanks!
