Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ulrick" data-source="post: 1543117" data-attributes="member: 775">I'm starting up a homebrew campaign at the end of the month. I've worked on this homebrew campaign setting on and off for the last twelve years and I've been DMing for 15 years. Yet in all that time, I've never finished a campaign. The longest campaign I've run lasted for seven years--but it never ended...just kind of petered out. The last campaign I ran lasted for a year and half...the original players weren't showing up consistantly so the campaign's consistancy fell apart. So it ended...I want to finish a campaign. My plan is to have this campaign last a year and to play roughly once a week. To do this, I've decided to be very selective on who I let into the group. The players must...1. Commit to showing up 75% of the time for the next year. 2. Be people I who I would enjoy hanging out with in another social setting. 3. Have two updated copies of their character sheet--one for them, and one for me, the DM. That way, if they don't show up, somebody else can run their character. Will this work? Has anybody else tried this? In fact, has anybody finished a campaign (player or DM)? That is, finished as in 'all loose ends are tied up and the characters have retired and the world may have been saved in a climactic way." I really want finish what I've started. I don't want it to just peter out like a lot of campaigns do. So I would like some advice. Thanks.</blockquote>
