Ah, gotcha. I'd agree, especially as I think, viz my three models, I think there are a variety of ways advancement is represented.

Here's an associated question I'd like to throw out to everyone. How far do people play in and run campaigns which are at least *meant* to be long-term -- which I will arbitrarily say means over a year's play -- -- or are they considered short-term campaigns, if that's not too much of a tautology?

All the best
