[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 3551185, member: 18280"] Sure. But don't forget also that many of us here (I wouldn't hesitate to say most) have also bought into the 3.X paradigm to a large degree. It has been pointed out, repeatedly (and I think correctly) that EN World isn't necessarily a good place to go to determine what's happening in the "average" D&D game. You would need to poll other communites to have some idea of what the game is like beyond our little borders. Please note also that I am not saying that changing campaigns is bad; I am just wondering how much the shift in the game has led to this being more common. I would like to see a poll that compares behaviour in 1e, 2e, and 3e on this same topic. EDIT: This would be my version: [url]http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=197606[/url] (Note that I ask whether or not multiple campaigns are set in the same setting. This determines the value of working on setting details, rather than whether or not they are sequential, IMHO. If three people rotate DMing, but each does so within his or her own consistent world, you change worlds when you change campaigns, but the work done on the world is't wasted -- it'll come up again when that DM is in the limelight.)
