I have some ideas/thoughts on it that I want to dig into even more, because a lot of times (it feels like) we (adult DMs) just write it off as "oh, that was then this is now, rose-colored glasses of the past, etc. etc.). Maybe there's more to it.<br /><br />[and maybe there isn't, but not discussing it at all sure doesn't accomplish much!]JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-80254081274299302472020-11-02T09:27:03.516-08:002020-11-02T09:27:03.516-08:00I'm all about being a softy.

It's the consistency that builds upon itself. This is the thing I've found difficult to recapture in later adulthood. Even now with a good group of 40'ish year old players, many weeks... even months can pass between games, and we often rotate games/systems/DMs.Sir Robilarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007504465124076115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-24543733380254948972020-11-01T14:56:50.615-08:002020-11-01T14:56:50.615-08:00Great to read you on this topic!

I'll probably still write it, but you already touch on all the points I was going to include in it. Basically, the players had their characters. The referee ran the game, the players brought those characters. It was a campaign. Episodic often, but it worked. And there was very little pressure on the referee to produce content because it didn't need to be some grand world building affair or some epic overarching metaplot to follow.
