Running multiple games in parallel?

[John Dallman]

Bonus question for the GMs replying, please - out of interest, usually what percentage of your player group is in more than one of your campaigns?

• Campaigns running in separate settings but using the same game system and related themes.
• Two campaigns run by different GMs in different settings that nonetheless influenced each other through different treatment of shared ideas and historical characters.

For both of those cases, there are two players in common, the same two in both cases.

Another example: the occult WWII campaign ran for thirteen-plus years with a total of seven players. One died and was replaced about ten years in, so there were always six players, plus the GM. Now there are two new strands of the campaign, in different parts of the world, each run by one of the players in the first strand, and with the GM of the first as a player in both. No, nobody has ever dropped out.
