#Dungeons and dragons planeshift full

Don't feel like you need to suddenly have a realistic city full of well-detailed NPCs fleshed out for the City of Brass or anything, again, time to be honest and say 'if you're really interested in exploring this city, we need to break so I can prepare for that.' If instead they're just like 'fly to the castle and kick in the door, we're taking the Ifriit King hostage until he gives us what we want!' then. Now, if there IS a reason that they're in the plane (they're looking for the soul of a dead ally?), then you're just going to have to roll with it, and either confess that you need some time to prepare, or get real good at thinking on the fly. sorry bros, its just more demons, forever and ever one after another until the party dies or comes up with a reasonable reason to be here that you can work off of? Welcome to Doom, I guess, here's a magical chainsaw. If after that fight they really want to keep wandering around, and don't give you a clear indication of what they're looking for. If they pack up and jump to the Abyss, boom, they land on a gargantuan chunk of rotting flesh floating in a sea of acid, while you look up big bad demons in the monster index, or a google a quick 5E random encounter generator. If a party is planeshitfting to strange planes that there isn't a clear plot thread for, then they're probably looking to (1) have a random encounter with something thematic and challenging, (2) meet a powerful NPC that they want to talk to about a specific goal you know about, or (3) loot a specific type of item or resource. Wouldn't purposes cause the spell to fail very often, but that can be a short adventure in-and-of itself, especially if they cannot cast the spell multiple times per day. Or, if you occasionally want to just use some DM's fiat, the teleport spell automatically happens to fail and send them way off target. You might not be able to run a week long trek across the countryside to get to the new location, but either spell could still deposit the party far enough away from the destination spot to provide you the chance to throw some encounters at them. Plane shift is potentially less likely to land the party is some unknown place, but this spell also doesn't typically land the caster exactly where they want to go. Teleport can potentially go awry and whisk the party to some other location depending on the intended destination and the accuracy roll. Plus, keep in mind that both teleport and plane shift have certain limitations within the RAW of each spell.

Understand that you lose some of the potential adventures/encounters when the group merely pops from one place to another, but I would just create some different situations that they need to handle within or close to the destination spot versus on the road. Well, if a 15th-level caster wants to burn their only 7th-level spell slot for the day by casting teleport or plane shift, I wouldn't penalize them to heavily for doing so.
