Has anybody here ever tried a tower defense style D&D campaign? I haven’t heard much about it or do I know anyone has tried it. It came to me as an idea the other day, so I looked it up and haven’t found much about it. I’d assume it’s a relatively unpopular play style and one of my fellow party members is concerned about it removing a lot of the social aspects of D&D in general.

I kinda want to make a campaign to try it, but not much info for a set standard to do this is around and I’m nervous to just wing it. I don’t want to lose all the elements of party mechanics and interactions that you’d normally find in a campaign, but I realize that may be tough to do in more of an action-based setting. Figured I’d just see if anyone here has tried it, if they liked it, what could be done to make it more interesting or should I just abandon the idea and just make something more traditional and cookie-cutter. Of course I’d be vetting the ideas with my party and not just throw them into something I haphazardly throw together that everyone will hate.
