This campaign was inspired by the TV show Supernatural. I really liked it and it was obvious to me this was a show about how mortals could be used in the WoD. So, with more enthusiasm than anything, I started this campaign.
As you can see from the dates, it didn't last very long. However, there were many reasons for this. First, I broke my heel and we lost a months worth of gaming. That really caused us to lose a lot of momentum. Two, I was hoping for colloboration with my PCs but it didn't work out. Three, the playing style of the players and what I saw as the campaign were not lining up. I was going in one direction and the players were thinking in another. It wasn't completely perpendicular but it did grate where we didn't match. And when we finally talked about a lot of things, they were correct. What I had done wasn't bad but it changed expectations. Fourth, Supernatural was over for its season and my source of inspiration was gone. I would like to think this wasn't a big part of it, because I have been reading the nWoD for a while and liked it, but I am sure it had some influence on my own enthusiasm.
