[QUOTE="pming, post: 5500323, member: 45197"] Hiya. So, no BECMI huh? I still think it's a great choice...oh, and yes. You can have a "long" campaign with BECMI (I've had several multi-year campaigns I've ran or played in over the last 30 years; actually, we just played BECMI two weeks ago, and will probably play it this Sunday). If you want something a little different, perhaps using an earlier GammaWorld rules set? I have a little pet project on the side that I call "Gamma Sun"; basically mashing the Dark Sun setting with the GammaWorld 3rd Edition rules set. I like 3rd edition GammaWorld best (a unique feel and flow to it, with some personal house rules, as is the norm with me :) ). I've basically 'converted' mutations into spells, radiation into various "defiling magic areas", and all that other stuff. It's actually turning out surprisingly well suited for Dark Sun (go figure!). Another game(s) I thought about...but it's not very "fast and loose"; Either Rolemaster or HARP (which is kinda like a "Rolemaster Basic"). The thing with Rolemaster is that it already has 'built in' psionics as one of the three realms of magic (Essense, Chanelling, and Mentalism...which is 'psionic', basically).
