Main Topic: Starting a New Campaign Choose setting and rules set Old tried and true stuff Brand new setting Brand new system Starting characters-restrictions Choosing the Players & Setting the IRL parameters Online vs F2F Previous players vs new players Same old group vs mix-it-up Time/days/length of sessions/length of campaign/# of players The First Session PCs meet at the tavern. PCs know each other PCs being hired to complete a mission. A more organic start PCs start at the entrance to the dungeon. In media res Differing Approaches Sandbox/Open ended but with some limits Linear Adventure or homebrewed storyline Combination: Sandbox & Linear Adventure No/low prep/wide open TRUE SANDBOX What are you looking for in a DnD Style Adventure/Campaign Setting Size? Style? Details? OSR or OSR adjacent or DnD version X How about something New, but familiar? Our New Campaign & 1st Session last week We began a new campaign. Analysis: Homebrew setting: Hymyr/ OSE/3rd level PCs/F2F/Mixed group new & old/ Began at the negotiation table with patron for a mission/assumed PCs had worked together before This differs a bit from a standard campaign as I am hoping to playtest a module (perhaps a series of them/setting) and build up to a true Mudsword RPG.
