I like the idea of campaigns following on from each other, so that with
your new characters you can get all proud when they see the accomplishments
of the previous ones. I'm currently playing a Star Wars campaign which
follows on from a previous one in which one character turned to the Dark
Side. In the current campaign he's so insanely powerful that the entire
goal of the campaign is to defeat him.

Stuff like this can easily be incorporated into BR. Characters getting
their Bloodlines corrupted by naughty bloodtheft, descendants of the
original PCs wanting revenge on The Gorgon/Spider/Their Mum for whatever
they did. "You dirty rat you killed my brother...." :-)
