Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shiroiken" data-source="post: 6550110" data-attributes="member: 6775477">"I am starting up a new game with new character that will create it's own story of some kind."Classically, a campaign was the game a DM ran, where all characters past had an impact on the world (even if only a grave). A DM ran a single campaign, and would periodically restart the game with lower level PCs when it became unmanagable/unfun. However, the previous events still affected the world.Later, as story took greater precedence, DMs started rebooting their campaigns as apocalyptic events made their previous campaigns unplayable for future games. Thus the term campaign came to mean any game that was beyond a "one-shot" session. None of that should affect the term campaign. The only thing that is NOT a campaign is a single session event (such as at a Convention).</blockquote>
