Question How do campaigns work vs dnd

As the title says, interested in trying this - coming from DnD 5e being the only ttrpg I have played. I was struggling to work out how do campaigns work? Is it like DnD where they are in a campaign book or is it a different system? Apologies for my naivety!

So do you just homebrew the rest of the campaign if it’s more of a starter?

Basically, yes. I personally like and dislike this approach

It really doesn't, because PbtA is not about giving precooked content to the players. It's about telling a story together, so players contribute almost as much as the GM.

Been running an Avatar Legends Campaign for a year+. We are 21 sessions in and nowhere close to ending
