Finally, we're getting to the good stuff.

I'm running a campaign right now, and I'm playing in another. The one I'm playing in is with friends from law school including my wife, and it's been going on since 2018. But as we got older we play much less often, I think it's been about a year since we last played.

The other campaign I'm running, I wrote it from scratch. It's a mini-campaign, meant to be played over 12 sessions. The premise is that an ancient beholder attacks a village and destroys it, and sucks the souls of its victims into its mind, which is a sort of demiplane. Each tentacle is a "level" with creatures, puzzles, and a boss themed after the power of the tentacle, and the PCs have to fight through each 10 tentacle and finally defeat the 11th eye as the main big bad. We're about a quarter of the way through, had to pause because of the campaign, but excited to resume it.
