7. Share Responsibility A high-level campaign’s vast scope is enough to overwhelm anybody who tries to handle the task of keeping it running without help. Fortunately, high-level campaigns usually come equipped with a cadre of talented and resourceful advisors who can help—the players. In many cases, players are willing to help the DM handle some of the basic background work, such as detailing unexplored areas, developing histories and myths, and taking charge of NPC actions that don’t directly involve their characters. At the very least, the players can help you focus your creative energies so that you don’t waste time and effort on things that don’t advance the campaign.
