I hate it when the “and this is where we end the session for tonight” part happens 10 minutes in… once had a high level party teleport to the complete opposite side of the map 10 minutes after starting… That is when I learned what high level really meant.
I had a 15 minute session once because I offhandedly gave my players a foldable boat like 15 sessions before. I had intended for them to have to cross a mountain range controlled by Dwarfs who’d ask them to assist with a dragon hunt in exchange for passage.

But instead? Nah, they use boat.
Why, who would believe it? There just happened to be merpeople who has a dragon problem in the sea!
