This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I mostly understand "campaign" in terms of referential in time and space. That is, it's a succession of games taking place in the same setting or multiverse on the same in-game time line/time frame. A break in the cast of the game (i.e. a TPK, the retirement of an entire group of characters, etc) generally leads to a new part of the Campaign, but it's still the same campaign, because it takes place in the same world, and what the previous players/characters did actually exists, will exist or existed in the same multiverse and/or time frame.

I know it's rather nebulous, as a definition.

This threadbreak is sponsored by the word "nebulous", one of my favorite words ever.

Now back to your regularly scheduled thread...
