It's really nothing more than formalizing the concept of playing a game on Sundays, but I've really grown attached to the concept of DOUG. So far so good I say. I'm going to try and maintain a separate "world" so to speak for each general genre of RPG game. For instance, the 1930's pulp adventure game will always take place in the same world. Not necessarily linked to previous scenarios but a persistent view.
With that in mind I'm going to keep track of each of these worlds, or campaigns, through Obsidian Portal. I find it a great way for me to jot down ideas and characters without having to sift through endless piles of notebooks. It also makes it easier for the players to dig deeper into the setting, if they want, or just recap previous events.
I've got most of them setup, including Shadowrun (called MaidenCall), 1930s pulp adventure (Tales of Pulp Matter), fantasy (HackMaster Fantasy), sci fi serial (Star*Drive), and a few others.
The plan this Sunday for DOUG is to do Necessary Evil, a supers campaign set in a world where aliens have taken over. You play villains banding together to take back the world cause these alien invaders are not interested in sharing. Time to take the fight to the enemy.
