DMing is really fun. All the work that I do is that I plan out the series of events prior of the campaign starting, helps if you make up a calender for your world, and have things happen at certain temporal points. Beyond that let the players go dff to do what they want. Hilarity ensues! If they ignore the big bad who has set into motion to destroy the city, or at least do some major damage, and the PCs ignore him and the clues you lay out then so be it. Let the dice land where they lay!
Oh, due to some of the suggestions here this is the final version of the Sorcerer. Thanks for your guys' input!
