You can do anything within its rules. You have complete freedom to play the game anyway that you and your players want to. While I only came to the system a little over a year ago myself, I have become aware of a number of campaigns that are in the 30-32 year range and counting. The guy that introduced it to me has a campaign that has been running since early in 1974 and has maintained an average of 10-12 consistent players over that time frame. He currently has 16 players ranging in age from 6 to 75. The fact that it is not being made, supported or played by the majority is irrelevant to him and to me as well. My own campaign has 12 adults and 9 children. It is an enormous amount of fun, easy to learn and easy to referee (to use the original term for a DM). It lends itself easily to larger groups of players and easily accomodates a simple dungeon, a mega-dungeon or a complex fully designed world, whatever you want to play in.</p></blockquote><p></p>
