[QUOTE="MerricB, post: 6268015, member: 3586"] Back in the late 80s, I began playing in a Greyhawk game. When I returned to DMing in the late 90s, I used that version of Greyhawk as the basis of my new campaign, and pretty much all of my original (non-organised-play/published) adventures since then have been set in that world. There have been several "campaigns" in the world - characters starting at first, and continuing to high levels - set in different areas of the world, with the City of Greyhawk, Great Kingdom, County of Ulek and Lands of the Frost Barbarians being the main ones. When I start a new campaign when Next finally appears, I'll have it set in that Greyhawk. I did run the HPE adventures in the Nerath Vale as written. I run a lot of Forgotten Realms adventures as part of Organised Play. And I ran Pathfinder for a year set in Golarion, but using the adventure paths. However, if I'm going to run an original adventure, it'll be in that Greyhawk. At this point, it is very much *my* world. There's been play in it from 576 CY through to 604 CY. I've a feeling that the next campaign will see time advance further as I try a different style of campaign, but it's great looking back on the world and remembering its history, even if only I really know most of it. I do know that other DMs love creating new settings, and it seems occasionally like every adventure they run is in a different world! I'm just wondering how approach your campaigns. Are they all set in the same world? Different worlds each time? Do you return to favourite settings but otherwise explore the possibilities? And will anything be changing when 5E comes by? Cheers!
