I found a cool character sheet generator thing here http://mrgone.rocksolidshells.com/vcs/VampireVCSSetup.zip and it made me want to play. Someone else should run the game, I couldn't run a bath.

    Mage is the only oWoD game I own the books for, so it would my choice. Plus Mage allows for the most variety when creating a character.

    I'm a vet WtA player, but I can do the other 2 major systems (VtM and MtA) pretty equal.

    Anything but Mage would rule.

    How's about a Pentex First Team game? Black Spirals, Fomori, and Hollow Men; oh my!

    Or a mixed game. I was in a game with 2 second edition Mummies and 2 werewolves fighting a centuries old Hollow Man made of scarabs. It ruled all schools.

    Why do you say that? Because they're all psychopaths? I was in a rather long (1 year+) Pentex game.

    A Technocracy game would sound awesome, as long as you don't go too deep into the ray-gun and alien crap.

    I'd always thought a campaign where you play as a squad that goes around maintaining the consensus by gunning down Vulgar Mages, all Men-in-black-like, would be the greatest thing ever.

    That, or a victorian steampunk-style campaign that takes place during the War of the Currents, which would actually be a civil war in the technocracy between Edison and Tesla and their respective supporters.

    Yes. And my speciality is Werewolf, really. I just like Changeling more, but I'm definitely better as a Werewolf ST.

    No, I won't run anything PBP, and no, I won't run Vampire.

    If you look at the link in the OP I was actually specifically asking someone to run a VtM game. It's a tool to help run VtM games. Not that a Technocracy game or whatever wouldn't be cool but I sort of want to play VtM and don't want to go buy more sourcebooks.

    Also nWoD vampire sucks. I mean the system is great but if you have a decent number generator (the one in the OP does all the combat working for you) oWoD is just as best.

    If you look at the topic you'll see it says "someone do an old world of darkness game", which I'm pretty sure gives people license to talk about, I dunno, old world of darkness games? Just because people didn't download some random .zip you linked and check it out doesn't mean your OP was particularly informative or specific, chief.

    Well, really, playing a suicide death-squad charging at werewolves with assault rifles and Balefire flamethrowers might be awesome, it'd just have an insanely high turnover rate if the Storyteller had half a clue how to make werewolves scary.

    Why do you have to be a rude asshole? I was clarifying that I was interested in a VtM game. If you don't like it, feel free to tie your balls to your feet and go for a walk

    That one isn't going to take too many dicerolls. Let's stay on topic shall we.

    If someone wants to do a mage game that'd actually be pretty cool. I bet I can find a similar thingy for that, I'll go check.

    WoD isn't very numerically intense, I can't imagine why you need a program to handle things (but I will go look to see what that program is anyway.)

    I just like programs. Plus, if I remember right, combat involves rolling a fucking ton of dice. Damage, soak, all that shit. A program where you just click a button and it does it makes me go "mmmmmmm..."

    However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

    I think the nWoD Vampire is superior in many aspects actually.

    The one that did get truly, horrifically boned was Mage. Now there you see a game get royally shafted. Otherwise it was either an improvement (Werewolf) or vast improvement (Changeling) or about the same (Vampire).

    Edit: I might want to run an oWoD Vampire game from the Dark ages though. I still have all the books for that and while I am working on a 4th edition campaign, I have a couple of individual one-off module like games I could run.

    Dark Ages is great, if your players aren't stuck in a D&D mentality.

    Then again, any WoD game is pretty much doomed if you're stuck in a D&D mentality.
