Topic	I just finished a year-long DnD campaign!
Zeus 05/29/17 3:11:33 PM #23:	shadowsword87 posted... Zeus posted... shadowsword87 posted... I don't think Zeus actually knows what the fun part about playing DnD, or RPGs in general, is. Which is fine, nobody knows what the hell it's like except for the 1% of people who played it. I literally said that I didn't get something this long-term >_> If something requires substantial effort, I see greater benefit in using a more enduring form. You just keep showing up in these sorts of topics going, "I know what I would do", and it not making sense in the RPG-meta-narrative. Plus if you haven't corrected me, so I know you haven't played them :P Not as an adult, no. And there's clearly a difference between fiddling around with a campaign when you're very young and doing so as an adult. Comparing the two would feel like an insult so I didn't address your question more directly. Granted, even when I was looking over the manuals, I more thought about it solely from my perspective than that of a group. And I was big into D&D novels at the time which, in retrospect, most just strike me as being so bad I have a hard time reading them now. Two of my fave books as a kid were the Wyvern's Spur (book 2 of Finder's Trilogy) and the Ring of Ice. I tried re-reading both, didn't get far. Firewood18 posted... Zeus posted... Given the amount of time and effort probably put into it, is there any reason why you didn't just write a book instead? I kinda don't get something this long-term. I DM'd a campaign where one of the guys wrote it out as a 90 page novella. He didn't publish but he got an A in his college English class. Which is a pretty neat idea. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:880024050] in I just fin...
