[QUOTE="Saeviomagy, post: 5418375, member: 5890"] Fundamentally, D&D is about moving on to bigger and badder challenges. If you don't do that, then the game will become stale. Entire campaign from level 1 - 30 stocked with the same 3 types of orcs with the number level adjusted? Bad idea. Entire campaign stocked with N-foot pits? Bad idea. Entire campaign filled with the hunt for rations/water/malaria cures? Bad idea too. Essentially, you might consider doing this [i]once[/i]. And even then, only if you have a plan for how to make it [b]fun[/b]. Get them to describe their camp set up for the one middle-of-the-night attack you do (and since you're only going to do one, make it something special, not a run-of-the-mill fight to the death). Get them to describe what they do for food when you have a cool encounter for them while they're out scavenging (or after... those eggs they picked up for tonights dinner are [b]something's[/b] eggs after all).
