Favrorite Campaigns and why?

Baalshamon

There are alot of great campaigns on Obsidian Portal, many of which have won Campaign of the Month or Year. There are also many unfound gems and those that just havent recieved recognition as of yet but are more than deserving. So tell the world what Campaign or Campaigns that you think are the best on OP. Which Campaigns inspire you? Which Campaigns do you try to emulate? When making your post, please put a link to whatever campaigns you are speaking about. Tell us all what we should be checking out.

Since I am starting this I will post my top three to get things going.

The Campaign I find the most fun is "Avatar - Conquest of the Imperial Order":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/avatar_adventures because of its subject matter, beautiful graphics, and fabulous stories.

The Campaign that inspires me the most is "A God Rebuilt":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/a-god-rebuilt because of its great story line and the feel that I have entered into a true saga of epic proportions when I read the journal entries. A future campaign of the month for certain, it is only a matter of time.

The Campaign that I envy the most is "La Ballet de L'Acier":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/le-ballet-de-l-acier because of the awesomeness of it all. I have run and played swashbuckling games but this one leaves me breathless. I can only hope that someday I get to play 7th Sea (My personal preference for games of this nature) with a group as dedicated as this one.

Well there it is, now its your turn.

A difficult call. I will state that I believe ALL campaigns listed in my "FAVORITES" section to be immensely valuable for a myriad of reasons.
However, I will pick out five and list the main reason each campaign appeals to me personally.

"Age of Legends":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/age-of-legends Aesthetic Design

"A God...Rebuilt":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/a-god-rebuilt Theme

"Morrinn's Tomb of Horror":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/tohe/wikis/main-page Wiki Organisation

"Wyrmshadow":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/wyrmshadow Depth and Vision

"Dresden Files Dallas":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/dfd Adventure Logs

(a multiplanar 3.5 D&D campaign)

First off, Steve & Twiggy, thank you.

Best Read- "Spelljoined":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/spelljoined Hoping DM Loki's new "Ad Astra campaign":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/adastra holds a candle to that standard- it is off to a good start.

Most Fun- "Avatar- Conquest of the Imperial Order":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/avatar_adventures because, how can you not.

Inspiration- This is a tie, and I hope they both come back to active duty some time- "Age of Legends":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/age-of-legends by the wonderful Arsheesh, and "Wyrmshadow":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/wyrmshadow by the incomparable Duskreign. Each of us owe them a huge debt, and a huge debt to Chainsaw as well, for blazing the trail.

Envy- Wow, another tie. "Le Ballet de L'Acier":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/le-ballet-de-l-acier by Black Vulmea and "Star Trek Late Night":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/star-trek-late-night . Both of these I wish I played, not only for the detail (voluminous is an understatement) but because the gms are so incredibly involved.

Crazy- How can you not love "Gamma World Oasis":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/gamma-world-oasis This is insanity on steroids.

Best Horror- Hands down, "Cthulhu Supremus Est":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/cthulhusupremusest

Others: I have 5 others that I regularly check in with, and had to mention-
"Dresden Files- Dallas":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/dfd Just simply a great site.
"Lodestar":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/airship-lodestar Great characters
"Shimring":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/shimring Great theme, and I steal from it.
"Dark Sun a Trova":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/dark-sun-a-trova Great video, and great site... hit the translate button and enjoy!
"Morrinn's Tomb of Horror":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/tohe Best Wiki.
There are plenty of others (I have 100 favorites, and growing), and the people coming to OP keep getting better (Star Trek Late Night won COTM before playing a session...).

I . . . I'm humbled. Thank you. Truly.

I'll be sure to pass your comments on to my players. They deserve it.

If you want to read a campaign with absolutely brilliant writing - no flash, nor fancy artwork, no clever coding tricks, just straight-up excellence in gaming prose - check "this":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/rasennan-summer out. All of #Barastrondo's work is outstanding, and worth a look-see.
