Or maybe this is just a way to justify proactively beating your DM to death for creating a horrible campaign in which multiple stories and players are brutalized. If I switch game systems, am I still running the same campaign? I'm not talking 1E>5E, but even 3E>TWERPS or anything in between. If I run a series of connected worlds or adventures and don't tell my players they're connected, can I reasonably say that I'm running a campaign, but my players aren't playing in a campaign? As far as ST: TNG and ST: TOS go... as a GM, I'd consider them both to be part of the same campaign. Same shared world, just different time periods. World has a life of it's own. The overriding philosophy, social structures and moral guidance (prime directive) would be recurring themes that connected everything together. Yeah, go ahead and toss in Enterprise and DS9 while you're at it. Each character's/player's perspective of the campaign will be different, but that doesn't change the fact that it's all one campaign. Why else would be people care about "continuity"?</blockquote>
