[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 7987038, member: 6779310"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://shs-corvallis.medbridgego.com/resources[/URL] For some of us, that a setting has specific tropes makes the setting desirable for reuse, rather than learning a new setting sharing those tropes. And some of us on;y do short-ish campaigns. My longest calendared campaign lasted 3 years... but only played 3 sessions each year. My typical runs 4 months to 6 months. I tend to run 2-3 campaigns at a time. Usually 2 of system A, and one of B. This pandemic is an odd period. I'm running only one campaign. In short campaigns, there is almost always something left to explore. And to be blunt, if a setting is to have depth, it's usually easier to reuse it than do a new one, and players do tend to notice... but they also tend to complain if they need to read more than an aggregate of 2 to 3 pages of setting material.... so if a GM wants a deep campaign setting, he's got to spoon feed it to the players... and in short campaign mode, by doing multiple campaigns there, possibly in 4 month chunks over years.
