I would love to play those years-spanning campaigns that you mention, trust me! I have big dreams about that! But you are probably right in the fact that as adults we are either unwilling or unable to commit, due to responsibilities, shifting schedules, etc.Anthony Simeonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04312134763577949405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096473056453931834.post-52510675389550077572011-06-29T14:38:41.432-04:002011-06-29T14:38:41.432-04:00My most successful gaming group ever had a deliber...My most successful gaming group ever had a deliberate short-campaign model. We'd play agmes that were deliberately intended to only last 3-8 sessions or s, so we could move on to the enxt thing. We'd intersperse it with one-shots to try out new games, and we'd return to campaigns and characters we liked (sometimes over and over again, so the 3-8 session campaigns were like chapters in a longer campaign). That way everyone got to play the games they liked, nobody was stuck with GMing all the time, and everyone was willing to give different things a try.<br /><br />And when we did return to familiar campaigns, you could have all kinds of fun killing off another GM's favorite NPC's when you were at the helm.<br /><br />This doesn;t jive with the way a lot of other people like to play, but I feel like realistically, most adults just aren;t able or willing to play in year-spanning campaigns anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096473056453931834.post-7240752582127594222011-06-29T14:14:24.473-04:002011-06-29T14:14:24.473-04:00Ah, yes, the good old TPK method of switching to a...Ah, yes, the good old TPK method of switching to a new game system/setting/campaign.
