My Online Campaigns, Part 2
The second online campaign I ran wasn't quite as large as my first attempt. In fact, it consisted of one player. Amanda played a starship captain in the first campaign and we decided to carry on with the character. I was still running the tabletop game at the time and having a player pursuing a separate plotline than the main game was pretty interesting. The online campaign even outlasted the tabletop group when that broke up.
Running the second game was a lot of fun. With a one-on-one campaign, I could focus a lot of time and energy on one single aspect without worrying about if any of the other players would get bored. For both of us, the game was pretty much a mutual story writing series (although I was the one who knew what the overall plot was).
That game eventually ended but it showed me how much fun a one-on-one session between a player and GM could be. Virtually all of my RPG experience until then had been with groups (typically 3-5 people, but sometimes much more), so this was a new experience for me.
