Saul was reading and thinking about long campaigns and what it took to keep them going for extended period of time.  Saul ran two D&D to Pathfinder Campaigns from 2001 to 2009.  Then he started running campaigns for his 6 year old son and his friends.  Saul ran another 2 campaigns starting with Pathfinder to D&D 5th edition which concluded right before the pandemic.  What kept these 4 different campaigns going for an average of 4 and a half years each?        The answer to that question is Style.  Each player in those 4 groups by chance or work approached the campaigns with a similar style.  What kind of Styles are there?  There is probably more than anyone could discuss but Saul group players in to a few rather general groups.  He discussed it with Jolene and they recorded a podcast episode about it.       This one runs a bit longer than usual.    Thanks for listening.
