-okay, so i am running my first campaign, and my first time at 4E this summer
-i had a much larger campain planned, but i had not anticipated how few encounters the group would get through per session. it is currently 1-2, i had planned like 4-5
-anyway, we are going to have to stop because we all have to go back to different colleges in early august, so i am looking for advice on ending campains short in a satisfactory manner...
-currently the PC's have fought their way out of the arctic gulag like prison of the BBEG, and are about halfway through the dwarven tomb whose ruins the prison was based in.
-they were going to find a portal to a lost dwarven city (think moria), and then eventually work their way to civilization, and aid the resistance movement in overthrowing the BBEG
-i am realizing that this would take about a year to accomplish, and is far to railroady, so any advice on ending this in a satisfying manner?
-also, i found that i really don't enjoy DMing that much compared to being a player, any advice for making DMing more fun? i thought about running a DMPC, but the online consensus was strongly agsinst this...
