[QUOTE="Chaldfont, post: 2227419, member: 1472"] I say, "Just let it happen". This happened with me. I got some friends together to start playing D&D again when 3.0 came out. We are still playing the same campaign. I don't have a lot of time to spend prepping, so I use a ton of Dungeon magazine adventures. I just pick out ones that are the right level and that sound fun. Then I look at the plots and NPCs and try to fit them into our main plotline. I have to make up the occasional session when I can't find a good adventure that fits the bill, or to glue Dungeon adventures together. Our plot grew organically from PC backgrounds (a young boy raised by a myserious nameless sorcerer, a druid tribesman escaped from slavery, etc) and their first mission: go buy magical supplies from The Hermit for a sorceress who would later accidently summon a pit fiend which took over their home city. As previously said, its a good idea to take breaks. Our campaign is broken into three "seasons" where we took breaks to try other settings (Scarred Lands, Eberron) and games (M&M, D20 Modern).
