Day 20 – Do you prefer one-shot games or full blown campaigns?

Both game styles have their place and I’ve had a lot of fun running them too. I love the story-telling that a campaign provides though, so that’s my answer for this question.

My players also enjoy how stories unfold, but probably not to the same degree that I do. Or not at the same level… that’s probably the better way to explain it. As the DM, I love the world-creation aspect of this game and so my adventures are always in a context of some larger storyline. The players however, are trying to solve more immediate problems, usually involving sharp edges and firebolts. Their narrative focus is more like a short story than a novel – straight into the action thank you. But they love it when things that happened in previous games come back to affect them in later games -0 recurring villains especially. So I try and use this as a way of weaving the story around their actions – around the consequences of their actions.
