The only problem I have with short campaigns is keeping them short. I like to meander, I like to find out what happens to the characters. I dislike prep (too much like the planning I have to do for work) and I don’t plan ahead.

Open invitation to all RPG bloggers to join the February 2023 RPG Blog Carnival!
