Episode 296: Generational RPGs, Gaming Perspectives with Saul and Jolene

GamingPerspectives

Saul and Jolene were talking about long campaigns. The discussion lead to games were character played gernerations of a character. I was thinking how many generations one could play and what RPGs make it part of their system or setting.
The first game that came to mind was Pendragon. A friend of mine ran the Great Pendragon Campaign for some fellow gamers. That GM runs games where "Death is On the Table" according to him. Which to me means he is a no holds barred GM and if the dice goes against the players he does not pull any punches. He even posted the games online. I also talked to a player in that game that was on his 5th character due to his very heroic play style.
Jolene asked if D&D could be a generational game and I thought well I am sure it could be. Other games had rules to play generations of a character. Some games neither Saul or Jolene had ever heard of them but sounded interesting. Thus this episode was born.
