[QUOTE="pming, post: 6596450, member: 45197"] Hiya! Thanks for all the replies. :) I wasn't sure I was just imagining things again (when you start to push half a century on this earth perceptions of what is current can get clouded by stuff your remember as "just a while ago" that turns out to be 30 years wroth of "ago"...). I have done "bubble campaigns", but that's the exception for me. I much prefer a continuous 'timeline' of what goes on regardless of what PC's are doing it. I am typically, nowadays anyway, running about 3 campaigns at once. We switch from campaign to campaign every few months to keep things fresh. I'm running two 5e campaigns, one Powers & Perils campaign, and one Shatterzone campaign. Oh, and I guess one Gamma World 3rd Edition...but that one may have died, having only one remaining PC left alive. Currently we're playing one of the 5e ones. I have a feeling in a few more weeks to a month or two we may jump back into the P&P or [I]maybe[/I] the GW3rd. That said, when we do jump back to one of our 'ongoing' campaigns, we continue on from the time we left off. I guess that was what I was trying to get at. If my GW3 game ended on "March 3rd, 2252 A.D.", and we pick back up...it will be at least "March 3rd, 2252 A.D." and everything that has happened the last time we played is assumed to have happened. Even if everyone rolls up new characters and they start 1,000 miles away from where the last group of PC's were (incidentally, that was Oregon, SE of Eugene in a new town called Neugene).
