    I've tried a few here and there, its a great concept that just never pans out on the table.

    I prefer individual scenarios, rather then ones linked to a prior game - and since these are usually team things - I ended up with a net determent in the next game thanks to my team mates performances!

    Not to mention the inherent issues of getting people together, the shear amount of time and behind the sense work...and I think the biggest reason is that fluff and game play never match - so trying to make it make in a campaign feels very self defeating. IE a story is a story and a game is a game!

    For my group of gamers I created a campaign, mighty empires style, and we got two or three games in and then it one or two couldn't make it and it all fell apart

    I would do more campaigns if I was able to find a new gaming group. Having not one but two FLGSs shot out from beneath you tends to make keeping the old group together difficult.

    I really liked the global campaigns GW did a few years back, Medusa V and Nemesis Crown, and I wish GW did more of those.

    I've never played a campaign but I want to. Just not enough time or people with enough time.
    When you do something right people wont be sure that you've done anything at all.

    I have just started one with my gaming group, and i must say, it is a lot of fun. The first game was hilarious when the goal wasn't simply killing each other, but making a cool story. I'm currently making a campaign booklet to go with it, once finished i will almost certainly upload it for all you Bols folks to also enjoy.
