>Characters are taking a private jet to the next location in the adventure
>Start watching a bunch of airport maps to accurately describe what's nothing more than window dressing for a location with no relevance to the story or the adventure
I should probably stop now, right?
>>
A little window dressing is fine, anon.
Just dont get autistic about it
>>
If you enjoyed doing it then fine. If you felt some sort of obligation to do it then you need to reassess.
>>
>>96880910
It start with me having a clear image of the place I want to describe follow by the questing "but is it accurate tho?"
>>
>>96880928
question*
bring quest back
>>
>>96880928

your players will not notice or care if your airport runways are 1:1 accurate with reality
>>
>>96880928
Irrelevant. Do you care about accuracy because you find it interesting, or because you feel it's an obligation?
>>
>>96880928
Would they notice?
>>
>>96881029
I just have this subconscious feeling that things should be accurate like when you see an expert explaining how silly and historical inaccurate combat is.
>>96881056
I have no idea, probably not.
>>
>>96881166
Sounds like perfectionism. It's bad and you should seek help dealing with it because it is horribly self-destructive far beyond elf games. And not even in the fun drugs and alcohol way.

>>96880875
"Next location in the adventure"? What do you mean?
>>
>>96883160
Learn English and you'll be able to decipher basic sentences like that.
>>
>>96883160
To continue the adventure they need to go to that location.

>doesn’t know about player-facing travel and exploration procedures
>believes matt mercer invented d&d in 2017
>lacks the intellectual curiosity requisite to solving his own ttrpg questions and relies on faggot anime image board because his native reddit mysteriously doesn’t know anything

I dunno anon, sounds like you’ve got it all figured out. As long as everyone at the table seems to be having fun on their phones I’d say you’re running a great game. Don’t listen to the haters
>>
>>96884240
Why is there a single location they have to go to?
>>
>>96880875
You shouldn't have started. They took a jet to skip the adventure of getting there, so skip that part. Unless there was a clue to the myatery they're trying to solve at the airport, in which case spend more time droning on about all the trivial details of the journey, with the clue buried in the bullshit. Or if there's an encounter at the airport, sure. Let them stop a terrorist highjacking or get detained by the TSA and have to fight a running battle to escape from the hungry vampire air marshalls and the demonically possessed TSAgents looking to violate their anal virtue as a sacrifice to the dark gods of the Economy. But you're not doing that. You're wasting time. Stop wasting time.
>>
No. Games are perfect simulations of imaginary worlds. Fun isn't the point.
>>
>>96880875
>It's window dressing
Have a team of mercenaries attack them in the terminal.
There, now it's relevant.
>>
>>96880897
>nooo, you have to go to the luggage exhange now because of the regulation 275-1997B
>>
>>96884413
Because the players collectively decided that's the best place to go to next.
>>
No they didn't lol. Nobody's buying it, railroadcuck.
>>
>>96886822
I don't know, I'm just guessing. Do you never have the party go somewhere in your games?
>>
No, I don't "have the party" go anywhere. Each individual player chooses what he wants to do. The referee is not a director.
>>
>>96883160
>>96884413
>retards willfully misinterpret simple phrases because they want to argue
kill yourselves you fucking faggots
>>
>>96886922
I didn't misinterpret anything. If you didn't mean "next location in the adventure", then you should have said what you actually did mean instead of something you didn't.
>>
>>96886928
for some reason you're trying to pick a retarded argument with me instead of putting a gun into your mouth. why is that? are you stupid?
>>
>>96886936
Why didn't you say what you meant?
>>
>>96886938
I'm not OP dumbfuck. But I clearly understood that sometimes the events of a campaign require the players to move from one place to another. Why don't you also understand that?
>>
>>96886915
So no one is ever at the same place? That sounds kinda stupid.
>>
>>96886955
No. Nothing "requires" the players to do anything. The players decide where they go, and when they go there. No exceptions.

Do not lie about not being OP. I can always tell.
>>
>>96886960
don't reply to me again unless it's to confirm that the last few volts of electricity are leaving your brain while you dangle from a noose
>>
>>96886959
No, "the party is always joined at the hip like some kind of bizarre amalgamation" sounds stupid, and I didn't say "no one is ever at the same place." Why did you lie?
>>
>>96886967
Replying to you again, and you are OP, and you didn't say what you mean. The failure to communicate is yours alone. You lose.
>>
>>96886976
it's absolutely crazy that your swollen purple fingers typed out a coherent sentence with your last death twitches.
RIP anon, he died as he lived: wasting internet packets
>>
>>96886987
Enjoy your ban for spamming.
>>
it's almost like I can still hear his whiny bitch voice. Gone too soon
>>
>>96886994
You lose.
>>
>>96886969
I'm not lying, it just came across like that. My mistake. You seem a bit on edge, Anon. Drink some tea.
>>
>>96887000
No, it didn't come across like that, since that's not what I actually said. Try again.
>>
>>96887004
Well, you put "the party" in a parentheses earlier. What did you mean by that?
>>
>>96887016
No I didn't. Do you know what a parenthetical mark is? Why would you use a word you don't know the meaning of?
>>
>>96887025
>Why would you use a word you don't know the meaning of?
Don't end sentences with prepositions.
Next time, try:
>"Why would you use a word of which you don't know the meaning?"
>>
>>96887025
Ah, my mistake. You put "have the party" in parentheses. Well, you missunderstood what I meant there. I meant "did you ever have" as in "did XYZ ever happen". Didn't mean to imply that you're neccesarily the GM in this scenario, nor that the GM forced it to happen.
>>
>>96887082
No, that wasn't your mistake. None of my posts in this thread have any parentheses in them, at all. Again, do you know what parentheses are?
>>
>>96887082
That wasn't a rhetorical question, jackass. ANSWER ME. NOW.
>>
>>96887230
Then I confused you with someone else. My bad.
>>
>>96887335
No you don't. Tell me what you think a parentheses is.
>>
>>96887335
Answer me.
>>
>>96887362
Oh, I confused it with geese feet. Parentheses are these things () right? English isn't my native language.

Hi, OP here to clarify some things about the travel. I don't needed travel since the character are taking a 9 hour flight from Vancouver to Scotland. No, I didn't "make them go" anywhere, as they finish the previous adventure one of the players wanted to visit his grandfather and the rest went as a well deserved vacation of sorts. Of course, the (very foreshadow) twist is some shenanigans are going to happen there when they arrive.
The main issue was that as they're taking a private jet provided by the mother of said player character I was thinking about small private airports and what buildings there are there, and yes, there will be some small clues in the place for the upcoming problems the party will encounter.
I can clarify more details later, since I'm running this adventure tonight. And no, Jesus, is not fucking D&D is WtA20a
>>
>>96887479
*I don't need (to implement) travel rules since
