[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 9716151, member: 177"] Not D&D specific, but I did just lay out a plan for a new campaign. It isn't D&D, but it happens to show some aspects of what I've been talking about. I had polled my players beforehand - they wanted a year or more of play (of our usual short-ish, weeknight sessions typically twice a month), but they didn't want it completely open-ended, either. Also, this group knows themselves, and their own playstyles - they've asked that I make sure there's a pretty clear core path through some major issue(s) to the campaign's end. So, I have a plan that's got at minimum 22 sessions of material (basically 11 "adventures" that take at least 2 sessions of play each to get through). The way my players go, they may be 3 or 4 sessions for some adventures, which is fine. Roughly half the adventures will be "core". The other half will be adventures I add in, either my choice, or attending to player goals/plot development other than the core path - I can add more if play goes through material quickly, or remove it if play goes slowly. That plan, coincidentally, will probably land the characters in the middle tier of the game's power curve. [/QUOTE]
