So, story time. I started DMing at about 10 years old in the early '80s and had a campaign that went on for a decade and a bit, with 6 regular players and twenty or so folks that gamed part-time. When I was 14 I wrote up a campaign bible with nations, cultures, history, gods of the land, and so forth. It was about 100 pages typewritten, in the days before word processing was prevalent, mind you, and it was really useful for planning purposes. I made copies for the players, some of them read it, and it was a neat thing to have. I regard it now with mixed feelings. There are parts which were obviously written by a teen, which is embarrassing, but overall it’s a pretty durn good effort for a 14 year old.
So, fast forward a bit. I gave one of my old gaming buddies a call last month to catch up, and it turns out that his teenage son is running a D&D game for his friends. My friend showed his son the old campaign book a few years ago, and he liked it enough that he has been using it for his game world. I’m just delighted that someone liked my world enough to bring it back to life.
Has anyone had a similar experience?
