Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gilladian" data-source="post: 2399050" data-attributes="member: 2093">I recently dropped out of a game that was run this way. Dropping out had little to do with the game situation; it was life in general.We played for about 4 years, with various people coming and going. Our first campaign was the most successful; in it, each person had a world that was "theirs" that was connected to the "home world" by a gate. The whole game consisted of chasing a halfling theif who had stolen a "gate cube" and created all the gates. We needed to get the cube back and seal the gates so the evil armies coming from several of the new worlds could be stopped. It was loads of fun. We finally ended the campaign at 12th level, because it was too hard to create good, short adventures at that level (we rotated DM's about every 3-4 weeks and only played 3 hour sessions). Since then, we have done two other campaigns; one lasted from 1st to about 8th level and then died when several people left the group; we started over and had gotten to 3rd level when I had to leave. In that game, we had taken over a pirate ship and were sailing from island to island seeking a place to establish ourselves. It seems to me there was one other game before the long campaign, which was going on when I joined the group, and lasted to about 8th level - we were doing forge of fury when I came in, and then went on to another module; the idea there was that it was a game to teach new dm's how to run - we'd be assigned a section of the module to read and run, trying to blend in with the other dm's style and method.It worked, but really only because the "head gm" put in a lot of work; he wanted enough decent GM's to run games at his shop - so he trained them himself.Gilladian</blockquote>
