Our weekly Runequest campaign of 18 years (with a couple short breaks) recently came to an abrupt and probably permanent end. We covered over 36 game years.
People often called our game Seqway Quest because our evenings sometimes were just chit-chat with minimal role-playing. But the four of us who played the last 10 years or so enjoyed it. Our characters slowly grew from minor peons to major movers and shakers of our game world. It was quite a ride!
For people who have never experienced a long-running campaign, there is nothing like the feeling of slowly unravelling puzzles that literally took 2 or 3 real-life years to work through. Or reading back through your old notes from 4 or 5 (real) years previously and realizing that you had the answer to the puzzle all along but simply didn't know what question it answered until you got to the end. Very cool stuff.
