Creating Campaigns

Send us a text

My first campaign was Waterloo.

That’s right, I said I got into tabletop roleplaying through miniatures and my first campaign was Waterloo. I played the Coldstream Guards and went into the game pumped because I thought they were so cool.

It took us weeks to play, hours in my buddy’s garage, rearranging large sheets of plywood on sawhorses to set up the battle boards.

Late nights with measuring tapes, templates, and dice.

I loved it.

So, when I found out they had “Campaigns” in my new favorite hobby roleplaying I was a little confused. Because a campaign was a series of battles. How did that work in an open-ended fantasy game?

Well, it works, and it can be truly amazing.

On this episode Mike and I are going to talk about Campaigns. What they are, whey they are awesome, and how to go about creating one.

Mike, do you remember your first campaign?
