I gave up on the bard character’s plotline (i was trying to do something like Mass Effect 2 where there was a main plot but everybody got a personal story as well) after the party just walked on by the third murdered musician in town. It was going to be a monkey’s paw wish gone wrong where somebody wished to be the best musician around and that caused a super fan of the wisher to start murdering people so that the wisher was the only musician around (but still sucked at playing) and therefore technically the best around. I would have had the fan directly come after the bard next ala panel 4 but the bard player and the druid player broke up and the group dissolved.
that’s pretty fun – you’ve got a good bunch there

If the players ignore your Threat, follow through with the Threat.
If the players continue to ignore the Consequences of the Threat, admit you’re now running a different game than you planned and adapt, brutally following through on the Consequences to every conclusion you can find
Stuck running a 3 month campaign from April because my players wanna fuck around waterdeep too much.
Do the dragon heist god damnit! You have had the stone and eyes for 4 sessions now! It was stolen once and Manshoon has someone’s family hostage, just get the gold already!! Fuck!!
Jokes sorta, can’t be mad they don’t wanna stop playing
I miss diving headfirst into every single plot hook laid out in front of me. Often a bit… Too energetically.
My players ignored the lore so much that now that they are lv 17 they had to find it to be able to fight the BBEG, so I dropped like a 5 page handout. Good luck
