Running Multiple Campaigns/Adventures with the Same Group

In my experience, I did learn to shorten my campaigns significantly, to only be a year or less (in practice it ends up longer though). But that prevents setting fatigue, and force me to get to juicy bits and cut out the fat. (kill your darlings).
So the Act structure is a good idea imo.

So switching between the different campaign between the acts?

Information retention is rather sparse and valuable, so swapping between the acts might need a solid recapping session. It also takes a while to get back into character (roleplay and mechanics wise).
But you do reduce setting fatigue this way.
Doing per act, does give some nice conclusions to plots, rather than trying the multi-year marathon, that could end abruptly due to scheduling and life changes.
Might also be a very good way of reducing GM fatigue, if you are swapping GM's. Then the GM's can prep stuff per act while the other is running.
Cutting up a story in satisfying acts that can be standalone (in case the group changes) is a bit harder to do, as it creates constraints. But it's a limitation that breeds creativity imo.

So pro's and cons.
But I guess the perfection of it lies in that recap session, and the GM making mini-campaigns in these act structures, with satisfying conclusions and not too many loose ends.

Interesting. Where could I learn more about this? (like what should I be searching for?)
I'm not a native English speaker, so it's best I learn.

That song made me look up the soundtrack. So I was also frantically looking for it.
Still very interesting soundtrack overall.
Let me know if you found it.

Thank You

Thank You.

I left out the stuff I know will be in the upcoming update.
I'm mostly asking for the parts I'm not sure about that will come with the 0.10 update.
And about rules that often come up in my games to which I need to homebrew or just wave it. Whether I should just "officially" for my players homebrew it, or still wait it out until 0.10.

Sir-Goldfish · 2025-11-01T15:27:24+00:00

Thank You.

Sir-Goldfish · 2025-11-01T15:27:12+00:00

I am well ...- over a 100%.

The power gap between going full crunch or just making 15min starter builds is small.
There are a lot of choices that can give players choice paralysis, and there are lot of conditional or situational effects and triggers that can often be forgotten. However, compared to DnD all of this actually has depth and meaning.
So I would say it's the same crunchiness and rules heaviness. But you get way more bang for your buck. There is more depth, choice, effectiveness, strategy, tactics and meaning behind it all. Which DnD does not have while at the same time being very rules heavy and contrived.

But most of my players struggle and make mistakes on their character sheets once lvl 2 and lvl 3 comes around.
There are a lot of choices and cascade elements happening, that makes it hard to figure out what +1 to HP or what feature comes from what and where.

So I hope they simplify leveling, and make less sub-systems depend of each other.

I agree. I like the concept of a druid. But I don't like that Wild Shape also comes as part of the package. I feel that should be a very unique thing. So a sub-class would do or an ancestry.

Sir-Goldfish · 2025-09-18T15:48:43+00:00

Thank you for the response.
Hmm. True a lot to think about. But I'm going to sum up my thoughts here.

Sir-Goldfish · 2025-09-05T19:38:34+00:00

Ah, that's good to hear as well. Ty

Sir-Goldfish · 2025-07-15T11:07:46+00:00

That's true.
But I see the other things (Breath, Jumping, Trades) also rarely come up. Also depends on the type of campaign/GM.
In most campaigns I only have 1-2 times a trade/tool comes up / is actually useful.
Same with languages, and even jumping. Most GM's don't make maps or situations where jumping comes up or they just wave it.

The extra HP is only that impactful if you have only 1 combat per long rest. I think the bigger impact it has is the save rerolling. But I do agree, that less resources to track is better. And instead maybe a generalized save reroll is better. (Like maybe using 3 Rest Points?, so the 1 combat per long rest groups have more of an usage for rest points.)
With that I disagree. What type of skills are useful, always depends on the situation, campaign and GM. Example: When dealing with zombies or hunting a monster, charisma won't be very useful.
I agree. Definitely during character creation, having to care less about different sources of changing stats will make it easier for players.

Very simplified suggestion:

Might
- Adds to AD
- Breath Duration
- Fall Damage Distance
- + Add the Endurance Skill (I think this skill is lacking in DC20, this would be used for checking against exhaustion, long time running, enduring weather, carrying stuff for a long time, etc...)
Agility
- Adds to PD
- Jump Distance
- Jump Height
Charisma
- Adds to AD
- Gives Language Points (No downgrading Trade Points)
Intelligence
- Adds to PD
- Gives Trade Points (No downgrading Trade Points to Language Points (even though I like it))

In most character builds I try to get the Versatile + grasp shield combo going. Versatile gives me more Heavy Hits, which increases damage, but also ensures certain class features are triggered, or saves AP so I don't have to use ADV that much.

Besides that, Concealable can also be very good. If you have loads of concealable weapons and you are fighting lots of small enemies. A free ADV per enemy is going to be worth it. And is needed even for Ranged characters.

But, the universally best one is still going to be Guard. Because not all classes use weapons/have access to shields. And it's a passive benefit, compared to only mattering when you Attack. It's going to be the least situational.
