Which is more realistic? But WotC doesn’t make more than one system. And Paizo doesn’t really, either, with Starfinder as an exception (though I don’t know if they’re even still putting out material for it).Most of the big companies produce games based on one system. So I’m not really sure  if your initial point is all that valid. Nope, it’s a preference. If it’s a preference a person has, then they may be more likely to consider a longer campaign yo be good. But, I’d think that if a campaign is good, it’s more likey to go long because the participants are enjoying it. The length of a campaign would, in that sense, seem to be a result of the quality of play rather than a cause of it. Also, deeper and richer interaction with the characters doesn’t seem to be about length of the campaign so much as the game’s focus. I’ve played years-long campaigns that had very shallow and minimal character interaction. It doesn’t tend to be what the game is about. There are games that are designed to be focused specifically on the characters and the depth of their interactions. Given how often you seem to criticize this kind of play, it seems strange to now see you claim that its goal is a positive outcome of long campaigns.</blockquote>
