We all agreed that Conan would be the second choice for all of us. So even though it is not represented at all in this vote, it is still quite popular with us.I voted for superheroes (which I'm assuming I would be running) but I still think we should just consider this to be our top three RPGs to play this year and rotate among them. I understand Mark's point that a rigid schedule would not work and it would have to be more organic, coming from the flow of the game sessions, but I still like the episodic feel of playing the same game for three-to-four sessions, long enough to get a good story arc in, then take a break for a month and a half or so. I mean, really, our just completed Conan series was essentially a series of one- or two-shot adventures within the overarching Yuri storyline. Conan seems ready-made for this sort of play. Especially since we frequently started sessions miles and miles from where the last game ended. I don't think it would have diminished my enjoyment of the game a bit to have taken a break from the storyline for a couple of months after we completed one of the two-three session arcs and then to have come back to it.Looking back on my younger days, this seems like a pretty foreign conversation. Back then we might decide in the middle of the week to play an entirely different genre by the end of the week. Or someone would buy a new set of rules and we would try something new just to be trying it. I remember playing at a friend's house when I was in the Navy where over the course of a few months we switched from D&D to Champions to Top Secret to Torg to Beyond the Supernatural to Morrow Project to Cyberpunk and back to D&D.Of course, I didn't have any discernible life back then either. No wife. No kids. No responsibilities at work.</blockquote>
