So you couldn't advance during a convention, during a show, you'd have to wait till the end. And so weird things like that were going on. It was a great experiment that did not work for so many reasons, but it taught me that the format of a campaign can greatly affect Everything. How the rules work, how the adventure needs to be written.

When we wrote Adventures for that, even though it was just a third edition organized play campaign, so much else needed to be taken into account because of the way that the campaign was set up. Yeah.

There were four factions. I was overseeing the Crimson Codex, which was the mysterious arcana, strange prophecy group, which was the hardest to write for easily, and probably the least popular by far. But I'm sure it was just because of me. So your character could join this faction or had to join this faction, and you played your faction adventures.

But then they made adventures where a member of any faction could play sort of the core adventures. And what I found out immediately was... Let me step back. The four factions were the good, aligned, everybody is out for great, let's save the world. There was the military faction, which was like a mercenary kind of setup.

There was mine, which was this prophecy-driven, esoteric stuff, secret-filled stuff. And then there was the evil faction, where you could play an evil character if you were in this faction. And then we had these crossover adventures where people from any faction could play together.

And the first thing I saw was, as soon as you give anyone the slightest crack to be able to work against another player, they are going to take that, take the jaws of life, or the jaws of death in this case, and just put it in that crack and open it as wide as they possibly could.
