In our campaign, because we all have busy lives and not everyone can be there every week, I've decided to make our campaign episodic, instead of the usual overarching plot that keeps building and continuing and never ends.
So, basically, we have the same characters and the same world we all drew up, but every week is a different story that begins, climaxes, and wraps up all in one night. Sometimes we have two-parters. It kind of sucks having to come up with a new story every week, but it's also kind of fun when you get one going.
Soon, after everyone becomes familiar (we're all pretty new to the system), we'll start rotating the DM, so whoever has a story for that week can take the reins. I think it's a really fun way to do things.
Anybody have experience doing it this way? Any advice for coming up with stories?
