Well, I play one of the longest running role playing/adventure Pbms,
Saturnalia.  There are several "areas" run by two or three companies.
Sometimes cahracters cross over (areas are on the same world).

The world has a full history, with about 12 religions.  There is magic
and high adventure.

I play in the Exile region.  This is set in a chain of Islands and is
of course where you are exiled to or just fancy the trip.  The evil
religons are ascendent on the Islands and the GMs are very good at creating
the right atmosphere on the Island.

I'm on my second character.  The first died, twice!  He did worship the
death god after all and passed through the Undead state.  Its real when
your charcter WILL die.  Some companies never kill you because they are
too afraid of loosing a customer.  Well, why play then.  The best compliment
is that I have started a second character.

The company is Harlequin Games, 41 Treherbert St., Cardiff, Wales UK,
0222 667197.  Turns are 2-3 pounds.
