The land is surrounded by a mountain range that almost seems as if it forms a giant caldera

>The land is surrounded by a mountain range that almost seems as if it forms a giant caldera.
Player 1: What's outside the mountains?
>All you know is that anyone who attempts to travel over them is not heard from again.
Player 2, making an off-hand joke: I bet that beyond the mountains are each of the elemental planes in a circle around the land

That was exactly what my plan was, and this guy guesses it on session zero. Do I stick with it or come up with something else?

You stop being a GM forever because you're fucking retarded and have no business being in that position.

Either you've gotten predictable or he's read your notes.

So yes, come up with something else. Something that doesn't sound like something a 14 year old would come up with.

Like: There are monsters in the mountains, nasty ones, and they are eating everybody who wanders up there. Ogres work fine here.

Then reveal that they're living in the impact crater caused by some kind of ancient evil getting thrown out of some version of heaven or Olympus by your Zeus equivalent AND HE'S WAKING UP.

Just stick with it you mong.

Stop proposing things that sound like they were made up by a 14 year old.

Fine. Just stick with Ogres in the Mountains then.

I didn't actually include that detail in my notes, and I haven't come up with something this off-the-wall before. It's like he just read my mind or something it's nuts.
Also, can I ask what exactly is so immature about the idea?
I can stay with it and it'll make him happy when he finds out his ridiculous guess was correct, but man it took the wind out of my sails to have it be guessed so early before any of the ACTUAL clues were presented.

Elemental planes have a lot more threatening things than ogres, a few normies are bound to survive ogres and report. Not so likely with not quite sentient flame that can follow intruders tirelessly forever.

Ogres in the mountains are a good idea.

If thats the case then stuff would have destroyed the village already.

Ogres work fine depending on how big the village is and how many people actually try to cross the mountains every year, and how many Ogres there are.

I mean, if it's like fucking Until Dawn meets Bloodborne up there and they only have two or three people stupid enough to try it then of course they're going to get eaten.

>If thats the case then stuff would have destroyed the village already
Not necessarily, the elementals are likely to be happy to just stay in their elemental plane. Or are even weakened outside it.
