CVRPG Introduction #9: The Continuing Adventure
This Comic's Cast:
When one adventure seamlessly (or not so seamlessly) blends into another, they your characters are on what we, in the industry, call a "campaign". The term implies that you are on an epic quest to save (or damage) the world through a series of adventures, campaigning for the right (or the wrong), and doing your part for the greater good (evil).
Campaigns are fun because it's just a good time seeing your characters evolve. People get so attached to their little characters, and they like investing time in them, improving them.
It's probably why World of Warcraft is successful. Same reasoning.
On the flip, many, many campaigns eventually get tedious. There are only so many times you can invade a castle and attack the same kinds of bad guys before it becomes old hat.
That's why Castlevania RPG is so different. Our heroes travel the countryside, working on quests and saving the land, all leading up to one confrontation after another in the same castle, fighting the same bad guy...
Wait a second...

Wait a second...
When evil spreads across the land, and darkness rises and the monsters roam. When the creatures of the night make beautiful music, and the things that go bump in the night go bump with greater enthusiasm. When the world is in peril and is in need of a hero...
These guys are, sadly, the best the world can hope for. These are the adventures of the heroes of CVRPG. They mean well, they try hard, and occasionally they do the impossible...
They actually do something heroic.
