D&D General How often do you complete a campaign as a player?

OTOH dms or players who almost always complete campaign would see no need to increase pacing.

Or those like me, for whom "completing" a campaign is neither a goal nor an issue.

As a player, I want to complete the individual adventures within a campaign and yet always feel I can assume there'll be another adventure afterwards; i.e. that the campaign will continue.

And that’s fair @Lanefan. But there needs to be recognition in the conversation that differing tables have differing goals which is going to color responses.

I think it’s more to do with people (and I’m certainly guilty here) look at the reported experience and just can’t get how this experience happened. It’s so far out there that the assumption becomes that the reported experience must be flawed.

I mean the original thread that spawned this on was because people couldn’t believe that not completing a campaign was a typical experience. That I only believe what I believe because I’ve had “bad luck”.

But when about half of players have “bad luck” suddenly my perspective becomes a lot more understandable. That I might push for dms to pull their thumb out and increase the pace of their games makes sense when I’m part of that 50%. OTOH dms or players who almost always complete campaign would see no need to increase pacing.

Well, take this as you will, but there are a few posters that truly speak their own language. I see them as the outliers though. YMMV.
