[QUOTE="Halivar, post: 4680886, member: 9327"] I have a DM that runs games much like GW does (or, at least, as far as I can infer from GW). He once spent 3 years developing a game world before it was ready to play. The current setting he is planning has been building on that game world for an additional 2-1/2 years, and in excruciating detail. It will probably be rich in NPC's who are very powerful, on every side of the potential factions. Some will be on our side. Others will be against our side. All of them will look at us as piss-ants. My character will invariably say, ":):):):) it. My character goes and gets a beer." Attendance peters out until the campaign fizzles and we move on to another DM who will put maybe a month of planning in, and plot the thing around the party. He goes through all that work, and all we really wanted was to be important. Different strokes, and all that. EDIT: I should mention that he has gotten a couple really great campaigns under his belt. Those were the games where the party killed all the important NPC's. :] [/QUOTE]
