Message: <blockquote data-quote="ccs" data-source="post: 7086485" data-attributes="member: 6803664">For the past 10 years, most every D&D game (including PF) I've run has been linked to every other D&D/PF game I've run/played in.  Somehow.Some more-so than others, some with just references/cameos.  For ex: *The 1st 5e campaign I ran down at the shop pretty much ended in a TPK.  There was 1 surviving PC & 2 surviving NPCs being rescued from the island by a passing boat.Remember those 2 NPCs.  They'll be important later.*So the 2nd 5e campaign saw an almost complete change in PLAYERS - there were only 2 returning from campaign#1.  One of them being the player of that lone survivor.  So we just stripped him of some loot (lost during a pirate attack sometime after being rescued from the island - a story in itself to be told later<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />), & froze him at his current xp until the rest of the new character caught up (he was only 4th lv) *The 3rd/current 5e campaign started once everyone agreed that they were comfortable with the 5e rules & wanted something more than just dungeon crawling.The links to other games are there & growing....  1st, the pirate/fighter from our CoS game made an NPC cameo - because I randomly used the same mini that the guy playing the pirate uses.  So we used his name as well.It's in his backstory that he was involved in the pirate attack Survivor guy escaped from between campaigns 1 & 2.How the pirate made his way out of Barovia & into fantasy Egypt....Next I introduced the same Bag of Holding that my own warlock PC carries in our CoS game.   This was obvious by the odd contents & glitter the current characters found in it.In the future the party will find direct links to the Sunday PF game I run (Reign of Winter).  It's conceivable that they might actually pursue that & end up playing a completely different AP. :/*The CoS game we just got done playing?  Is linked backwards to my 1st 5e campaign.  One of the characters - the pirate was involved in an attack against the boat the surviving PC & 2 npcs were on at it's end.My warlock I played?  Was one of those surviving NPCs. (because I'd procrastinated in writing up a character & just used whatever I had in the folder atm not to slow things down.  Dropped her to lv 1 & good to go....)  The other npc?  Her now missing sister.How the pirate (and my warlock) end up in D&D Egypt?  Nightmare/Hallucination as we nearly drown during the pirate attack & our bodies wash up on shore.*A short lived all barbarian 5e campaign I ran last spring/summer?It began at a party hosted at the Inn where my warlock & her sister lived prior to becoming involved in the adventuring life as NPCs in campaign 5e#1.  It's also the catalyst for them becoming adventurers.</blockquote>
