[QUOTE="Brown Jenkin, post: 3988035, member: 2572"] Our group of 8 includes 2 DMs that alternate campaigns. We used to do 1 full campaign at a time but recently went to a 2 month alternation between concurrent campaigns. One of GMs dislikes d20 in general (but will play it) and preferes to run HERO System. His current campaign is a horror based HERO System and his next one will likely be HERO System as well. Our other GM likes running both d20 and HERO. Right now we have just started a Ptolus campaign with him and I suspect that it will be 2009 before he decides to start another campaign. He also is less into world building and prefers existing settings and adventures so I doubt he will want to spend the time to convert Ptolus. He does like buying new things though so he will likely buy the rules when they come out to at least look at them.
