Obviously, I am limited to imagining gameplay mechanics in my mind, but the more I read, the more I am led back to one recuring thought: Whether or not the rules seem solid or weak, no RPG system (other than AD&D) seems to be set up for a sustained campaign. This seems to be particularly envident in character development - Dungeons and Dragons (even 3rd edition) provides a detailed and comprehensive format by which characters can be developed and advanced. Level progression is balanced by new skills/powers/spells and the DM has many options to introduce a wide variety of magic items of increasing power. Monsters, too, are abundant and increase in strength proportionally to the characters ability to defeat them.
