In Episode 004, we’re diving into one of the biggest modern trends in tabletop gaming: Campaign Games vs Legacy Games.

What’s the difference between the two? Why do some players absolutely LOVE permanent changes and evolving stories while others avoid them completely? And which style creates the better tabletop experience?

From branching narratives and character progression to ripped cards, stickers, and permanent consequences, we break down what makes each style unique—and discuss the things we personally love and dislike about both.

🎲 In This Episode:

What defines a Campaign game

What makes a game “Legacy”

Permanent changes vs replayability

Storytelling and progression systems

Our favorite mechanics from each style

What frustrates us about both formats 👀

Which type we prefer for long-term gaming groups

⚔️ Topics We Discuss:

Narrative immersion

Replay value

Resetability and game preservation

Emotional investment in campaigns

Group commitment challenges

Why Legacy games changed the hobby
