The differences are all at the beginning, and most disappear after several sessions of play. The one exception is the minimalist approach, where the GM prep work normally done for a setting is done on a session by session basis instead of being done in bulk before the first session, but even that becomes indistinguishable from the others over months of play.Talysmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02162328521343832412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239577512598038009.post-11175551593500621012020-12-15T08:57:25.484-08:002020-12-15T08:57:25.484-08:00One thing that you didn't mention is the lengt...One thing that you didn't mention is the length of play. Over the course of many years and several campaigns, one can, even with minimal preparation, have a very detailed world the you really know well simply because you were their when it emerged. In many ways, this kind of campaign is akin to a personal Greyhawk, which emerged in a similar way. The problem, of course, is that this approach takes patience and time. The end result, however, is just as good (if not better) than any published setting.FrDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459281821319914530noreply@blogger.com
