I've never actually had that sort of experience.

I've very little experience with RPGs outside PbP in general, really :smith:

It's Smiling Sammy G, a merchant who can be found in many convenient locations including right behind you :haw:



(Basically he's an NPC from the 13th Age supplement 13 True Ways)

Also some people were posting Quiet Year maps earlier, and now I feel like I was doing it wrong. Is it supposed to be a serious game? Because every time I've played its been activating the giant underwater robot so we can destroy the crab people and harvest their stash of rainbow candies for our magic candy reactor

Sounds like an adventurous time!

Where did this idealized idea of a longterm RPG campaign taking place from beginning to end, first level (or its equivalent) to last, with a stable and relatively unchanging group of nonantagonistic people come from? I have never experienced this and yet I see the expectation of this kind of play in a lot of games. I've been thinking a lot lately about oneshot- or a handful of sessions-based design.
