WARNING!Nothing against Don, but a super-adventure is a very dicey and tricky thing to do in a Living campaign. The last (and only) super-addy every tried in a Living World practically killed Living ENWorld 3.5. Super-addys are difficult to pull off in a living world for several reasons:- Coordination is *very* difficult. Different posting speeds between games makes this near impossible.- Its very fragile. One addy dies, the rest become weaker. This is especially true if one DM is running multiple of them. In the doomed mega-adventure in LEW, one DM had 3-4 games and when they disappeared (stranding 16-20 players), that was *bad*.- It ties up most of your PC population all at once. One nice thing about non-synched games is that they start/end at their own rate. If you can solve problems 1 and 2, you still have a very empty Tavern while a large portion of your player base is tied into the same super-adventure.I understand the appeal of a mega-adventure, but having seen one blow up spectacularly (I am not over-exaggerating the damage it did to LEW), I'd be very cautious about trying one again. Nothing kills the momentum of a group like a massive potential blow-up.[Ph8008, Boddynock, and a few other from LEW can also comment on the doomed Mega-Adventure]</blockquote>
