[QUOTE="Retreater, post: 3309964, member: 42040"] Are the campaigns by different DMs in the same setting? No. Alternate DM is running a published mega adventure in another campaign setting, while I'm running homebrew. My writing homebrew adventures and detailing the campaign setting will likely change when I begin DMing full-time. Is there anyone who plays in both games? Everyone except Father Player plays (or DMs) in both games. At present, that includes 6 other individuals. If there are folks who play in both games, which character would they get to keep playing (or would they keep both)? Well, when Alternate DM moves away, that campaign will likely end except for the occassional guest DM session. Since he is moving over 3 hours away, that won't happen often. So they would keep the characters in my homebrew setting, but as I wrote above, I'm probably going to ditch that campaign anyway due to the time commitments of preparing a weekly gaming session. Do the players have a preference for 1 campaign over the other? If they have a preference, they haven't told me. However, unless I were to take over Alternate DM's campaign (in which I'm now a player), the point is kind of moot. How viable would it be to have both campaigns converge into 1 campaign? (For example, the both sets of PCs are hird by the same noble for the same task, with a few PCs [the second PC of a player who plays in both] are to stay with the noble.) It's probably not too viable at this point. Alternate DM doesn't want to officially end his campaign, as he thinks he can still Guest DM often enough to keep it going. I have my doubts, however, that his schedule will permit this. Is a completely new campaign out of the question? No. In fact, I'm prepared to start two new campaigns if I must. I've purchased Ptolus and subscribed to War of the Burning Sky, so we shouldn't have a want for adventures (or campaign settings). I'm more than ready to drop my homebrew and run at least one of these settings. The question is to run one of them full time or run both on alternating weeks. Retreater [/QUOTE]
