[QUOTE="NewJeffCT, post: 1299576, member: 10784"] True, a lifetime spent rooting about dungeons in search of treasure and killing monsters is rare through history... but, adventurers are supposed to be a rare breed. And, in history, there have been quests that have had many adventurers drawn to them, or events that thrust adventure on to some, even if it was for a period of time (i.e., the king leading a crusade to re-take the 'Holy Land' and the men that joined the crusade - as well as the men that defended their lands from the crusaders. A crusade may have kept some away from home for years..., or in fiction, the Quest for the Holy Grail... ) Most of the time I have gamed has been in epic style campaigns where the PCs have the goal of saving the world. I had assumed that was the norm? Would a PC being in a campaign to save the world be justified in taking a few years of game time adventuring? What about somebody like Maximus in "Gladiator" being a general, but having the goal of returning to his farm? [/QUOTE]
