Hunter/Vampire: suitability for long-term play?

[Jd Smith1]

I am impressed by the system and support, and often look to Hunter as a campaign option, but I am concerned about the potential for advancement in the system. I would like a 30-50 weeky session campaign (or longer), but I fear players hitting a maximum development ceiling.

Is this a real concern?

I haven't played Hunter, but I have run a Vampire campaign, and I don't think you really get enough experience points to worry about hitting any ceiling. Advancement is pretty slow.

Thats good. Its the same system. How long did you run your campaign?

It's been about five years, but I think the game lasted about 5 months of weekly play. About 20-22 games I guess.

No, it isn't. The scaling of advancement costs in the World of Darkness systems ramps up enough that you shouldn't have an issue with a campaign that long.

I played a weekly Vampire the Masquerade game for probably that time frame and did not hit anywhere near a maximum development ceiling. I was coming close to getting a single level six clan discipline at the end.
