How do I get over the hollowness of finishing a campaign?
Hey guys, I finished my 2-year long campaign a couple of months ago, that I was DMing. It was amazing, it ended as well as I hoped, everyone loved it. It was probably my 7th year or so playing with that group, we have been together for a while. The thing is, that is the first campaign that Ive properly completed, and since then Ive felt kind of hollow after spending so much time with those characters and that world. It was always there through my exams, through personal struggles and hardships I could always go, “at least i can prepare for the next session.” now that i dont have that its like theres a hole in me. I think its made a bit worse by the fact that I dont think our group will likely
play another campaign together again. Im travelling overseas and one of us has moved away for university, next year Ill be moving for university too. Im not sure if online sessions has the potential to work as it doesnt work well with my DMing style. Ive found myself reading back over my old notes a lot, the ending speech I wrote, listening to the music that played as I gave the final exposition. I still stay in contact with all the players, but I miss that world, and that story. Do any other DMs or players have any tips for how to get over this?
