Would you use the same setting for your next campaign?

[Midknightsun]

I'm still waffling back and forth. My current campaign will be ending here in the next few months, and while I love the setting (Arcana Evolved) I've got soooooo many ideas bubbling up for different settings and systems that I'd hate to see those go to waste. Ultimately, I'll probably call on some feedback from my players and decide from there. Even if i do use the same setting, I'm going to move it to a different location in that world.

Would you reply to a poll with out reading its contents?

Yes, and this includes randomly selecting my response.
No, I would not bother reading a poll before responding to it.

For bonus points, why or why not?

I specifically designed my campaign setting with more hooks than one campaign is likely to ever get to, to say nothing of the NPCs created to fit in with the first set of player characters' backgrounds and the consequences of their actions. My next campaign I'd likely start in the next town over a year or two after the resolution of my present campaign.

(That'd be Foxton on Moss, for those reading the Story Hour, and it'd likely be more focused on the fey aspects of the Midwood setting, including "fox dreams" and whatever happened to the village of Rivenoak.)

Of course, the setting as a whole is huge and encompasses a wide variety of cultures, climates and opportunities. There are few campaigns I couldn't fit in somewhere/somewhen and little reason not to use the setting.

Poll doesn't make sense.

My answer is: "I use the same campaign setting."

 

[Odhanan]

The poll doesn't make sense indeed.

My answer (no vote yet before the poll is clarified) is "I would use the same setting for my next campaign" (Ptolus).

I know I will use a lot of other types of settings. I've been talking about Varisia/Pathfinder, about Eberron. I want to run a pure IH game too (probably set in a dark fantasy version of medieval Europe, circa 1100 AD). And Cthulhu d20. And a lot more stuff.

I know I will, sooner or later. The reason why I'm answering "yes, I would use the same setting" is that I think Ptolus is now "my" setting of preference for D&D. I like where my first campaign (Seven Spires leading into Praemal Tales) has been going, and I haven't used a tenth of the setting's potential yet. I want to make it big with this one.

Yes or no - both are good options

I started my homebrew when the 3 core books of 3.0 were just coming out (I think we made characters before MM was out). After a number of years of playing regularly we got to a large climax and wanted to start again. We ended up playing in the same world 80 years later. I had a number of options I was willing to do, everything from a few different feel of campaign to what we did do. Players were quite happy to hear about things in the "new" histories that they knew they were responsible for.

As a side note, I took a page from an author and broke my world before giving it back to them 80 years later.

It would depend on the players. I'm having fun with Greyhawk currently, but I could use a break in another world for a while, so I could happily run a homebrew, Conan, LotR, whatever. My players as a bunch tend to not be so adventurous, however, and tend to like to stick with what they know.

I'm running WFRP and I love the Warhammer setting. I don't plan on changing.

 

[el-remmen]

Most definitely.

Every campaign just makes the setting that much more deep and detailed.

 

[Mercule]

After 25+ years, I am ready to retire my setting. That's actually half the point of my current campaign. I'm just ready for a few change-ups.

That said,

Demogorgon

has long been a shadow player in my setting, so I would consider using the Savage Tide AP in my current setting.
