Every once in a while, I come across a reference on these boards to campaigns which last years, sometimes decades. After reading a recent thread by Piratecat about the end of his 14 year long campaign (here), I just have to ask: How the heck do you do it??
I just finished running a year-long campaign that was co-DM'd by my best friend. I ran a little over half of it, but by the end of it I was glad for it to be over. I was ready for something different, not to mention a turn as a player again.
I enjoy running games, and I love the idea of running long-term, epic campaigns. DMs, how do you keep a game which spans years fresh and interesting to yourself, much less to your players?
