And to what do you credit the secret of your success, sir?

My guess is that his players are from a nice quiet rural community, a real close-knit bunch. And those durned chains in the basement allow just enough movement for the DM to cast his dice!

And as long as you feed him Cheetos and Mt. Dew, He should be just fine.

Ok my good qualities are
I run awesome combat encounters,w/uniqe monsters and abilities
a hugely rich game world w/my own very unique pantheon
my bad qualities
are
not as much rp as I should
very poor record keeping
I am also moody and my bad games are usually very dull

What exactly do you mean your "game" is 30 years old?

Your game group has been playing together?

Your D&D campaign has been running? With the same PCs?

Can't speak for the OP, but our oldest campaign is in it's mid-20s, with 3 of the original 4 players. It started as a 1Ed game whose PCs have been updated to 2Ed, 3Ed and 3.5Ed. Characters in the campaign world are in "tiers" from 3rd-5th to 10th-15th and up to (our non-standard version of) Epic.

When someone has an idea for a low level arc, we bust out the low-level PCs. Mid-level stories are played with 10th-15th level PCs. Epic games use Epic PCs. Most of the adventures we run fall into the latter 2 tiers.

That is all!(basks in own awesomeness)

I'm jealous.

The longest two campaigns I've played each lasted 1.5 years.

The longest game I ran was eight months.

The longest multi-campaign (nine) spanning game I've heard of up until now has been a Traveller game documented over at Foreven.com, running since 1982.
