Favorite campaign that you NEVER played/ran.

There's a big Eberron intrigue campaign that is generally bubbling around the back of my brain. Also of all the Paizo adventure paths, the one that stuck with me all these years as something I would run one day is Savage Tide.

I once intended to run Dead Gods (Planescape adventure) and combine with it some other elements built over a multi-year campaign. In anticipation for it I ran a heavily edited Throne of Bloodstone which tied nearly into the macguffin of Dead Gods and give my players a moment of “Oh dang, our other characters set all of this in motion!”. Naturally I also had run the Great Morton March which sets up a lot of other events in Dead Gods.

But then Covid hit and by the time it was over, half the players’ lives, locations, and obligations had changed where we couldn’t do live games with that group anymore.

I could still run Dead Gods with the newer players I game with, but it wouldn’t have all that build up and impact I was hoping for. Only 1 of my current players was there at the beginning.

Well, geez, that’ll happen if you keep building boats out of them.

Hey, if it worked for Naglfar!

Yeah, that seems to describe it over time. And that always makes sequel games when you've spread them out in realtime, well, fraught.

I suppose the lesson is to not wait too long to do any sequel campaigns!

Of course that's a problem when the predecessor campaign was long and you want to do something different for a while...

Yep. A follow-up without a break is just a coda, but you never know what your window of opportunity is to do it.

Thirty-ish years ago, I started up a Castle Falkenstein run that was supposed to have the PCs end up in the Americas and...I don't know. It petered out before we really did anything other than the first session. I still wish I could have played a real Castle Falkenstein campaign.
