[QUOTE="Myrhdraak, post: 7620816, member: 6694190"] Well, we started back in 1985 and have been running the same campaign since then. However, we took a break during 2008-2015. When 4th edition came out I realized I could not really recreate the same characters that we had had in the old game. There was also a need to do something new that felt different and fresh. So we started running the Keep of the Shadowfell and the Thunderspire labyrinth with the 4th Edition rules. However, I did not feel we managed to create the same kind of affection/connection to the new characters as the old ones, where we had a long story with them and a complex campaign setting. So, in 2015 we therefore went back to the old game. At that time the full 4th Edition character sets were out so we could recreate the old characters much better. I also did some rule tweaks by merging the best of 4th and 5th Edition into our own 4.5 edition rule set. This restarted was well worth the effort as we had much more depth in that campaign. During the years I have kept logs on what happened in the games, logs that we have turned into books, retelling the story of the characters adventures. So far we are now at 3 books (covering 1985-2008), a new to soon be added covering the last 4 years of gaming. As can be seen on the covers below, book one included "When a Star Falls", while book 2 and book 3 covered much of the Planescape gaming we did during the nineties. [ATTACH=CONFIG]107076._xfImport[/ATTACH] We are now going to celebrate 35 years of gaming next year. Already looking forward to it /Myrhdraak [/QUOTE]
