I think it's really important to make sure that the game system you are using actually matches up with the style of game you are running. Dungeons and Dragons doesn't really work if you're not doing heroic fantasy and Dread doesn't really work if you're not doing Suspense/Horror (I tried using it for a high mortality ninja adventure and it was less than satisfying). <br/><br/>Either choose your system to match your style, or choose your style to play to the strengths of your system, and the game will be that much better.
