T.V. Series structure for campaigns
« on: March 21, 2022, 02:27:39 PM »
I'm thinking of planning a T.V. series structure for my campaign.  Robin Laws wrote an article in Dragon Magazine twenty years ago on this self same subject. Typically, you write a bible for your campaign T.V. style, complete with illustrations so you give your players a good idea of what you are striving for.  Then they create characters and you write the season blurbs.

Sounds fun.

I admit, I cannot visualize this method.  Do you have a link to the original article, or can you share some details on this method?
If discretion is the better valor and
cowardice the better part of judgment,
let's all be heroes and run away!

Actually, the Dragon Magazine pdf in question doesn't have the article.

Which issue is it? I might have it.
Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Scratch that. Power attracts the corruptible.

Rules should not replace the brain and thinking.
