D&D is really our only campaign length system, but we run some one shots. Usually this happens between campaigns, but sometimes somebody wants to run a one shot as a break during an ongoing campaign.Then, we figure out who wants to DM the next game. If its a one shot, its probably the person who brought it up. If its a new game, its up for grabs. Sometimes its the current DM, sometimes someone else wants a chance at the wheel. There is never a time when nobody wants to DM, its always who gets to! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Then we typically discuss what setting we want to play. We bring up a variety, DM homebrew, Planescape, Ravenloft, Dark Sun, etc. Then we vote or come to a consensus on where we want the game to take place. Sometimes the DM doesn't want to run that setting so we decide either to switch who gets to DM or setting. Last time this happened, it was either me running Planescape or another guy running Ravenloft. Group chose to go with Ravenloft, so he got to DM.Then we start talking about what kind of characters we want to play. This can be race/class combos or it can be overall concepts. We all decide on what we're playing, then we make our characters out of session on our own time. We probably call up or email the DM to ask about specifics, and usually the DM works with the player to fit the PC in the game, but we don't take up a gaming session for it.Then we show up to the game and play!</blockquote>
