Hi people! I’m about to start a The Sprawl as a GM. I’ve got a question tough:
How well The Sprawl handles ongoing campings? I’ve got no experience about this, and I’ve heard/read that this game would have some issues about longevity and ongoing elements and that it would be suited more in episodic play.
Thanks in advance!
How well does The Sprawl handle ongoing campaigns?
Wonderfully! The longer you play, the more the characters get entangled in the Sprawl. Which is precisely what’s mean t to happen.
The only thing I have added in previously is more options for cyberPUNK takedown of corporations, or at least certain VIPs. But that’s end of game stuff. Overall the game handles great long term, as long as you keep track of the entanglements and clocks.
Just finished our 4th mission. I think most PbtA games work better for 50-100hr campaigns than for shorter games. Playing to find out what happens takes some sessions of finding out what’s happening.
It works fine! The longer the better in my opinion.
