    @Taskerland @Printdevil The PbtA I've looked at most closely is Monsterhearts, and that has an explicit endpoint. You can port one or more characters from there to a new campaign, but it's definitely a separate thing.
    I find I actually prefer shorter campaigns but that may be because I enjoy inventing a world more than running in it.

      I've played my box of Senet that I got for the KS1 history "Egypt" a damn sight more than six times.

          Scratch any grog complaining about Monopoly and you'll usually bring up some weird old family wound about being beaten by an elder brother at it 30 years earlier and all games since "haven't used the proper acquisition rules"

          Then they'll go post about their players on Dragonsfoot.

            @Printdevil @Taskerland Well, I'd say I feel seen, but I don't think I have any old wounds and I tend to look at the game's history (and the fact that the other half, the variant designed not to be boring, was ignored when it was stolen). And to be fair I don't tend to talk or even think about Monopoly unless someone else brings up the subject.

              I don't enjoy monopoly either but there's a definite pathology about it amongst grogs

                @Printdevil Weird thing is that Diplomacy is one of the well-springs from which RPGs originally formed but grogs aren't all that interested in it. Too much talking. @RogerBW

                  Some thoughts on the place of criticism in the world of #ttrpg and why I have decided to stop reviewing other people's games.

                  On Criticism and TTRPGs

                  After some amount of reflection, I have decided to stop reviewing RPGs. At least for the foreseeable future. There are a number of motivators behind this decision but the first and foremost is that I am burned out to the point where the sense of fatigue has begun to filter over into other areas. Having…

                  @Taskerland Full sympathies and understanding. I do you hope you keep up some RPG writing about your own group's experiences, though!

                        Diplomacy, Credo, there are/were lots of talky games, but I think the talking wasn't as interesting as war-dollies, t-shirts, smelling of stale companioniship and carry outs.

                          @Printdevil @Taskerland @RogerBW Is it the talking? or the deviousness and counter-plotting?

                            @Taskerland @Printdevil For my group, a campaign is a maximum of two three hour sessions. We will revisit a game but usually with new characters.
