[QUOTE="MoogleEmpMog, post: 3719537, member: 22882"] I don't think you need to have played every module, character concept, etc. to get burned out at the system level. Treebore, I get the impression C&C/pre-3e D&D is pretty much the only tabletop RPG you really like or have cared to play extensively (I don't recall off hand if you've said you played much of non-D&D/d20-derived systems at some point in the past). If you really like having just one core system, playing in one main genre, running very long (2+ year) campaigns, possibly even using a consistent world from campaign to campaign, I can understand why it may seem odd to you that some players just plain get sick of the mechanics of any given game. For me, speaking as someone who has been in and out of tabletop RPGs in general and tends to flit from system to system, even the systems I really, really like, like Saga and SotC, I'd get sick of if I played exclusively. Even the genres I really like, like pulp and sword and sorcery, I'd get sick of if I played exclusively. I definitely wouldn't want any one campaign to last more than a year or two - especially as a GM, I'd get very sick of a game that lasted that long, its setting very much included. I certainly wouldn't run another game in the same world without at least a one-campaign break. [/QUOTE]
