Wrapping up a Campaign | GMJ 330

from Game Master's Journey · host Lex Starwalker

This week I have a roundtable discussion with players from my D&D campaign, Blood of the Avatars, that recently ended. Brett, Craig, and Sam join me to discuss our experiences with D&D at high level, both as players and GM. If there’s a sweet spot for D&D level-wise, what is it? We also talk a bit about what we’d really like to see from game companies INSTEAD of big hardback adventures/campaigns that go on for 10+ levels. Finally, we talk about the end of the campaign and the final battle. The players give their perceptions on how it all turned out. There are definitely things I could’ve done better, and we discuss that, so as I always say at the top of the show, you can learn from my mistakes, or at least things I could’ve done differently and/or better.Check out my sci-fi novel, Critical Balance.Have you read Critical Balance?
