A Whole New World...

While helping to repaint a friend's kitchen over the weekend, somehow the song "A Whole New World" from the Disney classic Aladdin came up in conversation.  I have no idea how.  After Beth and I belted it out to a green-covered paintbrush/microphone (and yes, we were just as horrified at our actions as our "audience" was), it got me to thinking about the importance of campaign and all the considerations that go in to changing it. 

It's one of the most exciting, and terrifying, phrase that a campaign plot team can hear - "Let's rewrite the game setting."

Sometimes, your campaign has just continued on for too long.  It's stale, old, and frankly no one is particularly interested.  Some may say those running within it simply lack creative plot abilities, but it's more then that.  Yes, you can come up with new and creative plot lines to integrate in to the campaign setting to add some oomph, but sometimes it is time to just let go.
