How "d20" does Runequest feel anyway? Anyone actually played it?

It is based on the BRP system, I believe. It doesn't feel d20 at all.

Freedom!

Playing different games is certainly an option. I think Chris and I like longer campaigns in the same world and system. But, that is just us. Certainly breaks are welcome and probably necessary too.

YAY!

I'm good just to have everyone playing together. Don't care what we play.

Well, I was hesitant to speak for you, but don't you sort of enjoy longer campaigns?

 

[Fyrestryke]

Yes, I really do enjoy long running campaigns. I love the stories they create.

Well, I love the stories too. Not saying I don't guys. I'm just saying that it is entirely possible to come back to a campaign after a hiatus and dive back in with the same characters. I mean, I waited years between Star Wars episodes (even if the last three DID suck,) a year between LOTR movies and like seven years between George R.R. Martin books. The stories are still great (except for Star Wars.) I would think it would work the same for RPG stories, if the layoff was only for a couple of months.

This is true, however I have always felt an impetus with certain characters. The only sensible thing to do is stop when the quests or what-not are done then come back when we are ready to continue to the next stage of adventures. It is completely do-able of course.

I was reading the last few comments about revisiting characters after a hiatus. Sure, it works and it's plenty fine and sometimes you just need a break from the "same ol same ol". The interesting thought that popped into my head, was what if I re-envisioned an old character. Say maybe start Xalandra over at 1st level or somesuch. Maybe just a similar character with a new name. It would be an interesting experiment. I never got to play her from level 1 to 11. I'm sure in a different campaign, she'd turn out completely different.
