I will tongue-in-cheek again state the fact that in CW people have fewer DPs (3DP) than the weakest tire (4DP), tells you everything you need to know about whether CW is a roleplaying game.

Yes you can easily hack a rp game onto CW.

The Compendium 2.5e rules for continuing characters was not a complete game because it really didn't explain how to use all those 'roleplaying' skills or how to improve them.

We never really bothered with non-combat skills but did have an ongoing campaign, but it was just random encounter tables for encounters between cities and arena duels, along with some rules for delivering cargo and passengers. Biggest problem - it needed a GM so that was one fewer player.
