[QUOTE="Rel, post: 379034, member: 99"] Fascinating thread. I have run a few highly successful Mage campaigns over the years. It is a really neat, but really demanding system for both the GM and the players. I will offer a piece of advice to those who try: It is much easier to run a solo campaign with Mage than it is to run a group. I did run a group of 4 through a lengthy campaign that had lots of really neat twists and turns but it was a LOT of work for me. I have never played Wraith or Changeling, but I've read both and with the help of a couple of friends, I've run what could best be described as a "rules-lite one shot Changeling LARP" that was tremendous fun. A year later, one of the guys in my gaming group did the same thing based on Wraith and I got to participate. It was a really fun evening (close to Halloween) but I'd hate to have to try and run a weekly game of it. I'd also agree that Star Wars is tough to run if you want to try and stick with the Space Opera feel of the movies. I've done it but I found that it was much easier for me if the games were short, "mini-campaigns" of 2-4 sessions rather than a full blown campaign like I prefer to run with D&D. [/QUOTE]
