Re: Campaign pacing

So...basically...

The question is how to compress the extended meaning of a full
campaign into a quicker version without all the required time for
playing out the character development? Nope, I don't have a clue as to
why a person would even want to to shoot themselves in the foot so
badly let alone an answer to that.

I'm am however starting to wonder how beaten down you have to get by a
rule system and adventure style before you give up and do something
different.

1. PoD too high, uninteresting combat.
2. Worthless Paladins (even if the player use wasn't proper for a
Paladin).
3. Poorly balanced opponents for the adventure
4. Surprise dominance (PoD related)
5. illogical adventure twists and requirements
6. No time for advancement and character development.

I'm sure I've forgotten something in there.

I would have punted the campaign on item #1. I'm starting to think you
like failure.
