Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oofta" data-source="post: 9000621" data-attributes="member: 6801845">I rarely have a single big bad.  I don't do apocalyptic campaigns because I never guarantee that the PCs will win and I typically run campaigns from levels 1-20.  In addition, I don't ever really have an overall campaign arc in mind, I have a world and various forces trying to shape that world according to their will.  So sometimes I'll have a single BBEG, but it's far more likely I'll have multiple along with low-and-mid level bad guys (or organizations) that may or may not be associated with the primary BBEG.  In my current campaign I've had 4 major sources of opposition.  I think.  It's been a long campaign.  In another campaign there simply is no big bad.  There are hints of a major catastrophic event coming but there's not really as simple as a big bad and there's plenty of other things in the region for the group to get involved with.In addition, I run a very player-oriented campaign.  The players always decide what plot hooks to follow or not, if a potential big bad doesn't peak their interest either the plans the big bad still happen or they just kind of fades into the background like Homer Simpson backing into the hedge.I know my style may be different from others, it's certainly different from most modules.  But there are many different styles of play from dungeon crawls to save the world from the latest megalomaniac who may happen to be a minor deity.</blockquote>
