Do not go to Elysium. Do not look at Elysium.
If you notice people in dark robes heading towards Elysium, you do not notice them. Report yourself to the Sheriffs office for reconditioning.

I hate railroading. If you cannot be adaptable to the whims of your players, you shouldn't be running a story. It's fine to have an end goal, but if you don't know how to direct people gently towards that goal without totally invalidating what they're trying to do... it's nasty.

@Thenomain I hadn't read what you posted above me, if I'm honest, so my point wasn't in reply to yours. Arrangements made within a group of players are totally okay, so long as they're fair.

My problem comes when staff has this "grand vision" and any player diversion from said vision is ignored, or otherwise discounted. Akin to writing a book rather than actually building a story with the players one is leading.

I will add that I'm interested in re/connecting with almost anyone from Requiem for Kingsmouth!

I'm looking for Ruby and (I want to say) Caliope from Requiem for Kingsmouth. I was Ricardo.
RP was great, where are y'all hiding these nights?
