[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 8301333, member: 6779310"] Pendragon. About 6 campaigns now of it. My last one ended when Arthur's PC cousin (who got the Sword of the Stone to move), was crowned in 516 due to Arthur's death at a battle at Abbey Beale, just south of Malahaut. Mine all wound up alt-hist to the Pendaron timeline as well as history. Reichstar. Sure, while it's set in the 24th C, its divergence point is 1941... Great concept. System, not so great. Spirit of the Century. One extended adventure... (5 weeks or so)... alt 20th C in the 20's. MSH, AMSH, MSHAG, (MU), and MHRP. All the Marvel games are alt hist. MU only got non-story-focused single session, 2 or 3 times, to feel out the mechanics. MSHAG got multiple one-shots. Others got extended adventures to short campaigns. Sentinel Comics. Same reason as all the Marvels... modern supers are alt history. If I am counting Reichstar, I need to also count Star Trek... since the Bell Riots never happened, and nothing close to the DY-100 has been launched, it's the future of an alternate timeline. My GURPS Horror campaign that ran 5 years... at only a handful of sessions per year. In which Magnum PI is reality, and Thos. Magnum was there to be sacrificed to appease Madam Pele... by the Werewolf living one estate further from Honolulu. Edit: I forgot to mention 4 campaigns (3 short) of Space: 1889. [/QUOTE]
