[QUOTE="seasong, post: 460579, member: 5137"] Varies from campaign to campaign. My AO campaign started out with the PCs as 15-16 year old farm kids who were drafted into a war for a distant city. We roleplayed through the march to training camp, two months of winter training (the city was drafting them in preparation for a war it had not yet declared), the march to the first battle, and then their virginal battle experience. After that, we skipped (with a few descriptive passages) all but a few major battles before we reached the turning point of the war (the major battles saw some of the characters getting promoted for heroism and/or sharp thinking). Then we reached the turning point, and every battle counted... until the PCs were captured alive by the enemy, and sold into slavery upriver. We skipped a lot of time then... You get the idea. My Ell'jaret campaign, on the other hand, was action, action, action, occasionally punctuated with a week or two breather during which the PCs mostly prepared for the coming storm, or tried to get into bed with this or that NPC. Very action hero-ey ;). [/QUOTE]
