That would kinda defeat the purpose of the whole "fresh start" concept we have going on here... (Heh...)
But yeah, DM is right. We should take our time and resolve the current story arcs properly rather than worrying if this will be the last chapter in this timeline. Although, having grown bored last chapter, I skipped the meat of mine and am in position to end it quickly, he he he...
I'm thinking when it's all said and done, we have a good "happy ending" to usher in an "era of peace" that marks the time skipped before starting again X years down the road. We could certainly set up some history in that time period as well, including more empires or heroes that have risen and fallen. Of course, other ideas are welcome!
