My friends keep telling me I should write a novelization of our D&D campaign, but such a thing would be about as long as Robert Jordan's 'Wheel of Time' series.
At first they all made 1st level characters for a Ravenloft campaign, and after about 3 years of playing once or twice a week, they got to 12th level and finally escaped the Domain of Dread. Three powerful witches made their lives a living hell, and since Tragedy was a central theme of that campaign, many PCs and NPCs close to them died. Then I put them in my homebrew Norse mythology world and their quest was to stop Fimbulwinter from turning the whole world to ice (gathering magical item sand clues and such). The three witches followed them out of Ravenloft and continued their malevolence against the heroes.
But after about another 2 years of playing they got to 19th level, and confronted one of the final bosses of the campaign, but the whole party was killed, and frozen for all eternity.
Then the players made all new characters and started the campaign again 100 years later (in the game, mind you), where the Fimbulwinter had taken complete control of the world. Bound in the earth, Loki plotted to escape, and so his wife Sigyn commissioned four Niebelung dwarfs to make a sword powerful enough to cut Loki's chains and free him, thus starting Ragnarok.
The dwarfs confront the PCs and tell them about the sword they need, and dupe them into finding the components for it. Several levels later the party realizes they were duped and stop working for the dwarfs. Enraged, all the minions of Loki hunt the party down and attempt to kill them, but they fail on all acounts.
Meanwhile the three witches have their own agenda: they start a huge civil war across the land and the PCs become immersed in it, and they are soon faced with the same quest the players' other characters were on.
So now the heroes must reverse the Fimbulwinter, kill the witches, and stop Loki from starting Ragnarok. Right now they're 18-19th level, and we'll probbaly take the campaign into epic levels to the heroes can fight an actual god. All in a day's work for mighty adventurers!
The characters in that story will be: Dalroc - orc barbarian; Iron-feather - half-elf sorceror; Skilving - yuan-ti rogue; Sasha - human sorceress.
But who knows if i'll ever be able to write this ultimate super epic by November...
