Readers must by now have realised that there are strong and binding ties between narrative battles and campaign battles, and vice versa. Indeed, a series of linked, narrative battles can very much be considered a campaign. How the players go about answering the questions posed when forging the narrative, and the many others that are certain to arise as that narrative unfolds, informs how these games can progress to become something greater.

The GM in a Campaign

The role of a games master in campaign play can also be important. During a campaign, the GM will likely be the person that keeps any maps updated and keeps track of the participants. They are able to wield their power over the narrative on a larger scale as well, steering each step of the campaign towards the end goal, one battle at a time.
