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!

Basically, yes. I personally like and dislike this approach

Not necessarily. The whole table is supposed to be involved with coming up with the fiction, and what the GM puts in front of them is just going off of what the characters have already given you. Every character carries so many hooks to play off of. There's also something called the 7-3-1 technique to help prep some stuff loosely before playing, that keeps things efficient and not too much hassle.

While true, it still doesn't give you as much as the adventures do when you start. The book helps guide you definitely, and the players are supposed to be involved in the fiction. I've found that more often than not, even though it's easier to prep than a game like dnd its still a lot more work than more work than if a full module was made from the beginning.
