What triggered the revolt?The first RPG I ever actually participated in was a d6 Star Wars campaign I began in the Fall of 1997 (Before that, I was interested in gaming, and even bought books, but had nobody to game with).  I ended up getting a group of 7 players together that wanted to play Star Wars and I was a big Star Wars junkie at the time.  The game ran weekly for a year and a half (roughly September 1997 to April 1999) and I was generous with giving out Character Points.  The PC's had fought their way through several big plot arcs, across several years of Star Wars timeline (including participating in the Battle of Sluis Van), and were becoming as powerful as the main characters, and just as indestructable as PC's were powerful and I was a novice GM and was afraid to kill characters off.2. What form did the revolt take?The game was run at the apartment I was sharing with one of the players in the game.  I was coming home from class one afternoon (with the weekly meeting of the game due in a few hours) to find all my players sitting there creating new characters and discussing new backgrounds.  They told me in no uncertain terms as a whole that they were sick of the old campaign, that their characters were becoming so powerful that it was almost farcical (old Star Wars d6 did tend to break down pretty badly at high power levels), and they still wanted to play Star Wars and wanted me to run it, but they really wanted a new campaign.  3. The Fallout?Short term result: A new campaign, as the PC's had created new characters, refusing to play their old ones, and I tried to create a new campaign for them to satisfy them.Long term result: The campaign collapsed after a couple of months and the gaming group fell apart, as my heart just wasn't in running a whole new campaign and I was burned out from running weekly Star Wars for two years straight and wanted a change of pace.</blockquote>
