[QUOTE="billd91, post: 5458357, member: 3400"] It's tough to narrow it down. I can think of three particularly good campaigns - or more accurately, segments of campaigns - that stand out: 1) Villains and Vigilantes - we played a lot in high school, using the "play yourself" option but with powers of course. I took the adventure [b]From the Deeps of Space[/b], which is an alien invasion of wolf/lizard centauroid creatures, and set it in our hometown. Instead of the maps from the scenario, I photocopied pages from the county plat book. There were NPC appearances of local friends, fights flared up as the heroes organized and led the resistance, they temporarily captured a base ship but crashed it (upside down) into the local McDonalds. It was awesome and very memorable, in part, because it was set in areas we knew so well. 2) AD&D, 1st edition - first winter home from college, we played a great war scenario across my DM's campaign world. We must have played nearly every day for 3 weeks. We'd form scratch parties for various missions using nearly every single one of the PCs we had played over the previous 6 years. We'd send a group to rescue some important prisoners, we'd send another to recruit allies across the sea, and still more to try to destroy the enemy general. The final siege that had us up against the wall was only broken by desperately summoning a hurricane to break up the enemy camp. Memorable moments include my ranger riding a summoned horse up the stairs to the city wall, diving off, landing on a chicken coop, and staggering away with 4 hit points, my friend's thief being stabbed while hiding in a rolled up carpet, and Aironn being lightning bolted to death... twice... by the same woman. 3) Call of Cthulhu - Masks of Nyarlathotep campaign and the staggering body count. 'Nuff said. [/QUOTE]
