[QUOTE="Eyes of Nine, post: 8613112, member: 99786"] I am the same - too many possibilities to keep coming back to the same campaign. Not saying I won't in the future; but haven't gotten there so far... That said, I HAVE run Phandelver twice, both of which took over 12+ sessions. So I guess those are "long term" campaigns - we only played once a month, so they both took at least 18 months I think. One of which we moved to Dragons Ice Spire Peak with one of the players transitioning to a brand new GM (so proud 😁 ); and then he decided to start at L1 again with Tyranny of Dragons. The other we started early in Pandemic, and are probably 1-2 sessions away from finishing Phandelver and moving to Tamoachan then Tsojcanth then Tharizdun then Giants G1-3 (or maybe I'll use the Yawning Portal versions) then D1-3 then Q1 (Queen of Demonweb Pits). With that amibitious roadmap, probably won't be done until 2026 or 7... I have run things in Greyhawk way back in high school (the main setting in early 80s); but I'm actually setting these in a notional Forgotten Realms setting - but somewhat abstracted to "generic" fantasy setting using the FR map. So I wouldn't call this a setting repeat, at least for me. There is a tension for me - my players like long-term campaigns, but I tend to have a lot of ideas for campaigns. PLUS I like to play other games besides 5e. Essentially - too many settings not enough time... [/QUOTE]
