D&D: My party is in the middle of a detective plot, but they were getting frustrated (maybe I should give them more clues, but they're also just not very good detectives tbh; also they keep forgetting that they can do things like read thoughts) and wanted more action, and the same two people couldn't make it again, so I decided to give them a very short battle-heavy side-adventure: They'd attracted the attention of the Thieves' Guild, so the Thieves' Guild led them into a trap, which was a teleportation circle that stranded them in a desert canyon full of dinosaurs. It was fun :) After the session they told me that I'm good at setting up cool scenes&scenarios and I'm happy&proud. (I wouldn't be half as good at it if DD wasn't always happy to help me with brainstorming.)

Next session they'll be ambushed by more dinosaurs (they already spotted the ambush) and then hopefully they'll make it to the oasis where there's another teleportation circle that could get them back to the city, where they now want to destroy the Thieves' Guild in revenge. I should have anticipated that, heh, but if they really do try that's not going to go well for them… Also, the person at the oasis has probably been bribed by the Thieves' Guild, they're good at planning like that, so who knows where they'll end up specifically… ;)

This was now session 11 btw, originally I thought the campaign would go 5-10 sessions. I was so wrong. I'm pretty sure it'll be at the very least 5-7 more.
