It should be possible to emulate the feeling of a good campaign without either constant wink-wink meta wankery or (more likely) going for the full Epic Tolkienesque Aspiration and crashing and burning horribly.

I read all of these in the 70’s when I was first allowed to get books from the Adult section of the library*. And now I have to go read them again dammit.
