I dunno yet. I'm only 2 adventures into the current campaign, in my first homebrew setting. It may very well be that after this I want to try something different. Paizo's Pathfinder setting info is intriguing me and I might go that way. But that's a good way off...

I'd already given this one some thought, and the answer is no, I would not use the same setting.


My current game is set in the Forgotten Realms. I was thinking I'd like to either have my next game give Eberron a shot, or possibly give the whole fantasy thing a short break and do some Shadowrun for a bit.
 

I would use the same setting.

And, I wish that were an option in the poll!!

"Should ENWorld not offer a poll making class?"
No, I think they should not.
Yes, I think they should not.

Soitenly.

I expect to continue running and playing different games in the same couple of settings for a long time, along with occasionally picking up a new setting and using that on occasion too.

Any decent setting has more than just one or two good plot hooks or cool things to explore/try out/mess with for any given group, so long as there's some region or flavor in the setting that appeals to the group.
 

Neat, bonus points.

I am currently running an Eberron game, and while I like it and it's broadening my horizons, I'm more of a classical DM in line with the way I run a nice, gritty Forgotten Realms or Kalamar campaign.

Normally I am ready for a change in scenery, if not in genre and game mechanics, by the end of a campaign. Running a sequel or "the next generation" campaign for the same group of players is fun, especially when there were some major changes to the world as brought about by the PCs, but I would still want to have a break between the two. Something to cleanse the palette and leave the players hungry for more.
 

Since 3rd came out all my campaigns have taken place in the same campaign world. Only one campaing was a "next generation" style campaing though... actual each campaign seems to be going further and further back in time...
 

I voted "No."

My current campaign - which has actually just started - is the Savage Tide Adventure Path adapted to Eberron.

If I started a new Dungeons & Dragons game, now or after the Savage Tide game concludes, it would probably be a horror or dark fantasy campaign in an original(ish) setting.

My actual next game will probably be a two-PC Vampire: The Requiem chronicle, with my wife and one of our mutual friends as the players.
 

No. Not only do I not use the same setting twice, I also have no desire to run the same system more than once. (at least untill I've tried all the ones I've bought and never played, which given the rate at which I buy new games compared to the frequency I start new campaigns is probably going to be never)
