[QUOTE="The Green Adam, post: 4697965, member: 50821"] Another really long campaign for me was one of my Star Trek games using the original FASA system. We played Star Trek alot (A LOT!) between 1983 and 1985. In truth I've run Star Trek more often then any other setting or system from 1983 on. Often, we used it for pick up games that only lasted 1 to 5 sessions. I have run several longer ones, say a years or so, but my Fedifensor campaign ran the longest at just over 2 1/2 years and being played anywhere from 12 to 24 hours a week.
