That's a good point. I need to consider that...if your players aren't into *at all* then you shouldn't force it on them.

Hey, "alcoholic dragon raids dwarven brewery, dwarves recruit you to root him out and kill him to get the beer back, dragon's consort asks you to double deal and let them both just flee" is a great plot!

@ Andreaz: No argument here. :)

You could always use the Ed Greenwood method, and simply introduce more plot hooks than the players could ever hope to pursue.

I did. It lead to an interesting conversation where one player lamented there was so much he wanted to do, and not enough time to do it.
Anyway, when I call them 'completionist', it's mostly because I realized some of them planned their missions based on what was coming closest to being obsolete. They triaged to go to as many adventure sites as possible.
How can you not love players like that? :)
