Title: My Own Fifth Edition campaign
Author: Shane Henry

System: D&D 5E Basic Rules at first (with Pathfinder Beginner adventure). Then used Dungeon Crawl Classics' "funnel method" but with Third Edition rules. Used 3e to play a DCC and 5E Playtest adventure.
Setting: patchwork, made of whatever adventures I already own, along with free downloads.

Started: Sunday, August 24, 2014
Status: Ongoing

Overview: This campaign arose from my resolve to skip over 5E until I see how Open it will be come 2015. (I lay out my perspective here: From Open Gaming to Free Culture: For a Third Golden Age of Tabletop Roleplay.) I don't want to invest in a system which is going to further lock my limited resources in a corporate-shaped box. So I'm using this campaign as a sandbox to learn the D&D Basic Rules, so that it could be one ingredient in my own kit-bashed version of D&D, which is imbued with my own vision of D&D's future. I'm also enjoying myself, and along with the other player, who DMs his own 3.5E campaign, we are laying the groundwork for a larger D&D Gaming Group to form around us, perhaps.

Number of Threads: 1
Type: Fantasy
System: D&D 3.5
Setting: Heavily homebrewed version of Oerth

Started: August 2015
Status: Complete
Average Installment Length: Varies - fairly lengthy, as I try to write up each entire adventure as one post
Average Frequency of Installments: We generally play every 3-4 weeks, but sometimes we finish two smaller adventures in one session
Available for Download? No

Overview: A "sequel" campaign to my now-completed "Wing Three" campaign, set in the same game world but advanced 20 years into the future.

Some of the PCs have ties to PCs/NPCs from the "Wing Three" campaign.

Title: The Adventures of Baabby and Sam: A Skylanders Campaign
Author: Richards

Number of Threads: 1
Type: Fantasy
System: D&D 3.5, with some homebrew rules to help it "fit" better into the Skylanders universe
Setting: The Skylanders universe as depicted in the video game series

Started: February 2017
Status: Complete
Average Installment Length: Varies - somewhat lengthy, as I write up each entire adventure as one post, but the adventures themselves are short
Available for Download? No
Style: 3rd person narrative prose

Overview: This campaign evolved as an opportunity to get my 10-year-old nephew interested in tabletop role-playing games by fashioning a campaign around the Skylanders video games he already loves. He runs Baabby, a humanoid sheep "baabarian"/cleric, and I run Sam, his humanoid crow ranger/rogue sidekick. My adult son runs the campaign, as an opportunity to gain some valuable DMing skills (it's his first time behind the DM's screen) and because he has many, many more ranks in "Knowledge (Skylanders)" than I do.
