[QUOTE="Doctor Futurity, post: 6597057, member: 10738"] I've never stopped running continuous thematically relevant campaigns. It's bad enough that I have sometimes started off a new campaign in one of my worlds and have to stop for a moment to realize that all the weird and esoteric bits are only going to be amusing to me because by current players weren't around in 1994 or 1983 or whatever. So thematically, ever single game I've run is part of a continuity....even if the players aren't always aware of it (most of them are, but all of my current players have only been with me for around 9 years or less; only a couple of the old guard show up for a surprise game once in a blue moon). To be fair, I don't know of any other GMs that don't do it this way except for the organized play guys.....some are considerably less rigorous about it, and some will recycle modules (reset the clock, if you will) when they see fit, but they all do seem to keep coherence to some degree or another. I think it's hard not to....only a hard reset of the entire group might prompt someone to think about rebooting the whole setting as well. [/QUOTE]
