DM: What kind of (D&D) campaign do you feel like PLAYING?

[Silvercat Moonpaw]

Classic "Heroic" Fantasy.

A group of young heroes; an elven apprentice wizard, a knight's squire, a young hobbit cutpurse, a grizzled dwarven veteran, and an acolyte of the god of light, go out to fight goblins plaguing the towns, only to come across a darker, more sinister problem that will involve orcish hordes, dragons to slay, a trip to the Underdark, deadly traps, tombs, giants, ogres, talking swords, trolls, magic rings, mischievous fey creatures, princesses to rescue, at least one encounter with pirates, and some big-baddie behind it all (such as a demon-prince or an ancient lich).

Classic, cliche fantasy in all of its glory without a speck of dragonmen, half-demons, science-as-magic, or any of the current trends in fantasy. Its probably a reaction to running Eberron for so long; I want something a bit more traditional.

Me too, but it probably takes one hell of a GM to pull it off right.

Also, anything resembling d20 Modern ala the tv series Sanctuary (monster-wranglin') and/or the Dresden files.

Me too, but it probably takes one hell of a GM to pull it off right.

Hence why I've been playing for 15 years and still want to do it.

Ahhhh...all you need is someone "Old School." The above would describe most of my campaigns- from either side of the screen- from 1977-1987...

And one campaign that started in 1986 and is (semi) active to this day, having been translated from 1Ed to 2Ed to 3Ed to 3.5.

Heck, you'd probably dig my current game group. Even in 3Ed/3.5, most of our D&D campaigns have been PHB only or PHB + "edited" Splats/Completes, no Psi.
