[QUOTE="kenobi65, post: 3637526, member: 1515"] Well, I've played an awful lot of the RPGA's campaigns, as well as a few non-RPGA Living style ones, and have been involved in the campaign staff on a couple, so here goes. - Being able to play the character at conventions and other gatherings, as well as in "home play". - Being able to play the character with both friends (i.e., folks I've played with before) and people I've just met. - Being part of a bigger storyline, and having the ability to affect the storyline. - Being able to talk with fellow players about the campaign (you should the message traffic on some of the campaigns' Yahoo groups) - Getting to play something (a setting, a type of PC, etc.) that I don't normally get in my home campaigns. - Favortism towards an "in crowd" (the campaign staff and their friends, those who attend premiere cons, etc.) - Bad module writing & editing - Lack of modules (or lags in getting them released for play) - Adoption of home-written rules that aren't balanced - Storylines that make it hard for someone to enter the campaign partway through - Forcing players to play modules in a particular order - Plotlines that seem immune to PC actions Honestly, there's a metric buttload of fantasy campaigns out there (just off the top of my head: Living Greyhawk, Xen'drik Expeditions, Legends of the Shining Jewel, Blackmoor, Living Arcanis, Living Kalamar), and relatively few modern or sci-fi campaigns. I'd like to see more campaigns that're *not* swords-and-sorcery fantasy. [/QUOTE]
