Your campaign will turn into a one shot pretty quick.On the surface it would seam that some system are better suited for campaigns than others but that can be misleading.  I for one have never been in a oWod or nWod campaign.  Every few years someone in my gaming group decided to run a vampire campaign and it always tanks.  It has nothing to do with the system or the GM.  Its just as a player collective we dont have much interest in vampires and such.  So its doomed to fail from the get go.  Then again as a group we have done campaigns in systems that would be considered one shot friendly only.  Paranoia, Cthulhu, Robotech, Chill, GURPS, Twilight 2000, Rifts,</blockquote>
