Subject: Favorite Campaign Format - A question?
Greetings,
I've looked through the archives, and stumbled around the webring
(lots's of neat pages there, BTW) and have the following question:
What success has anyone had in designing a quick(relatively) campaign
system, and could they part with some details, if yes?
Please feel free to drop me a line off list.
I'm working up mine own format, if any soul is so
interested, then I'll be happy to send out a copy.
Thanks in advance
