In reply to Brandes Stoddard. I think you could handle it in a non-awful way. Advancement is definitely weird, but it's built for exploration gameplay.

In reply to Colin McLaughlin. The one-shot we played was amazing, but I'm not convinced I would love the more competitive and cutthroat aspects of 3:16's campaign play.

In reply to Duncan Thomson. If you are going to spend a year or whatever together in a world, it might as well be one everyone wants to visit :)

This is exactly what I do with my players. Give a few choices for campaigns I’d like to run that are suitably different and then let the players choose what they want!

In reply to tribality. Ah, this great. I cannot recommend highly enough Sword & Sorcery, I love these kind of settings, especially these with rarity of magic and resources like Primeval Thule and Dark Sun.

In reply to Brandes Stoddard. The players wanted to go with Global Guardians, so I'll be good with 5e or Mutants & Masterminds.

In reply to tribality.

Please note, the pre-Alpha rules aren’t sufficient to campaign play – but I assume there will be a new packet by the time you’re ending your current campaign and starting a new one.

Alternity was TSR’s effort at a sci fi/modern rule set in the mid 90s, but it shows only a FEW of the excesses of 90s game design (specifically, too many skills). Sasquatch Games got a license from WotC to make a second edition, because Rich Baker was the designer of 1e Alternity.

For Beyond, I would use the new Alternity, Second Edition, rules that have just released their first pre-Alpha packet. But then Alternity 1e is my white whale of gaming – a rule set that I was completely crazy about, but only got to play one session of each of two different campaigns.
