[QUOTE="Radiating Gnome, post: 317788, member: 150"] I am running a campaign that started as a lark to test out the new 3e system. It'll be two years old this coming february. I had suggested trying the campaign when the GM running the FUDGE game we were in the sixth or seventh session of complained about not having enough time to keep up with the party, so we tried it as a break. And we haven't looked back -- the original GM got bent out of shape and quit, another player moved away, and we've added a few more to fill in, but the ongoing campaign has been there for all 20 months or so, playing every other week. Once the campaign was underway I started adding elements, which have turned into a big plot arc, at the end of which is a ancient dragon that the party will have to get to be high enough level to kill some day. Right now they're about 9th level, and they'll have to get to about 18-20 to really take on the dragon and hope to win, so if things stay on the same pace they'll be at this for a total of 3-4 years by the time it ends. Of course, I don't know if the game will last that long -- I just broke out of some dungeon-crawl-inspired doldrums, and things have gotten very interesting and a lot more fun in my game. I'm a player in another game. That campaign has been going on for about 6 months, and got a very rocky start. Three months ago I was ready to bail, but things have really started to develop. I don't know how long that game will last, either. I hadn't played for years when I started gaming with the group that eventually became the players in my greyhawk campaign. Back when I was playing AD&D in high school we never really played a campaign -- just a string of adventures without much sense of cohesion. That was fun for us back then, but I really appreciate the better story lines I get now, in both of the campaigns I'm playing in. [/QUOTE]
